Todays 10K buy-in on Stars
By Sandman_Good on 09-07-2008 2:24 PM

So I am railing these tables and notice a lot of the top pro's not happy with the tourney structure and pay outs.   I guess I don't get it when it comes down to these kind of numbers.

They aren't saying what they are unhappy about it. Can someone give me some input in this, ty.  Whats so bad about it?

Sandman_Good.

Well, it's paying almost 17% of the field, which is pretty crappy... It should only be paying out 36 here (if u go in incremements of 9 like stars does)... If you only pay out 36 people here, then there's another $303,345.00 going back into the prizepool, which will help boost the payout for cashing. (or FTing)

a 300 person tournament paying 19.25% for 1st is a joke

idk but it's stupid. the FTP 2500 event pays 1st place almost as much this event, and this event has a 3.2 MILLION DOLLAR PP!
