In my opinion, the first deal with 5 players isn't very fair. First of all, the person that got knocked out in 6th may have played it differently knowing the this was going to be the final deal. Second, the chip leaders at that point not only lose the potential prize money...but also lose the advantage playing wise.
What I mean by that is.....say I'm the chip leader with 40-50% of chips left in play. There's 2 or 3 short stack players left. It's a huge advantage when you can play loose and aggressive. They don't want to get too involved with the chip leader, since they know they can bust out. And no one wants to walk out with nothing as the Bubble Boy.
The second deal offer doesn't look good at all. And the final deal seems really fair. The short stocked maybe could have asked for more....since you guys were pretty close to even anyways.
