Doing deals at the final table

[muttley]

Do most people do deals at the final table? Is there an etiquette? I used to play tournament chess and the etiquette there was simple. Either player can offer a draw, but once it has been turned down he cannot offer it again, only his opponent can. If one's opponent subsequently offers a draw which you refuse, then you can ask for a draw a second time. What are the rules for poker?

Re: Doing deals at the final table no real specific rule or etiquette in general. you can offer as many times as you like and offer whatever you like,obviously you want to make as good an offer as you think they'll take while making it as advantagous to you as possible. sometimes you get someone completely against any sort of deal :\ had this in ceasers once,got down to 4 players all very evenly chipped and its about half 3 in the morning.3 of us wanted to deal the 4th guy didnt,we played for another hour and a half with the 3 of us badgering him every 10-15 mins but he didnt budge,i ended up going out 4th:puke on other occasions i've seen whole final tables do a deal immediately or taken a little out of the pot to spread the payout further(say it pays 8 they might pay 9 or 10 and take a little off 1st 2nd 3rd,so all sorts of deals are possible. some events do try to ban or regulate deals but it's pretty impossible to do as players will deal in private,strangely enough even tho there can be a large amount of money at stake it's very rare you hear of someone welching on a deal.
