Very brave player - not a high stakes gamble in real terms but £20k will help them out greatly.
The no-deal at 5-box was probably a braver one than at 2-box (which was borderline and I wouldn't have criticised either decision)
Yes, I'd agree with that - £9,250 was pretty generous considering there was a 60% chance of a guaranteed decrease, but also not going to be a massive increase on blue/50k finishes. You'd have to be prepared to open the box after no-dealing at 5-box to justify the gamble, really. Which indeed he followed through, and was brave in doing so. Interesting change in thought process, as he contemplated the 9k earlier a lot more than both the £9,250 and £7k which were much stronger for the board in relative terms.
Anyway, I'm pleased I didn't have that game spoilt by my upcoming pilgrim appearance tomorrow and the subsequent FIVE games, it'll be fun to spot myself again!
