I'll try a reasoning. Pirate 1 is the first to propose, and he wants his proposal accepted, else he'd be killed. He knows pirate 4 and 5 will turn down every proposal, because they are the last to propose and they won't be thrown overboard, so he proposes 33/33/34/0/0 (or something like that), 2 and 3 turn him down and throw him. Then Pirate 2 comes and proposes 50/50/0/0, Pirates 2 and 3 vote yay (3 because he knows it's the maximum he can get), 4 and 5 vote nay, 2 decides yay (because it's a tie)
So in the end:
P1 gets thrown
P2 gets 50g
P3 gets 50g
P4 gets zilch
P5 gets zilch

It's just a theory, probably wrong

Not quite. I can`t tell you why without giving away too much! Just know that P3 wouldn`t agree with that because he can get more...
