WTF is "Large Caps"?

[bigfishead]

is it anything different from a regular multi?

[Macdaddy Warsaw]

Nope.

[Zinzan]

Supposedly, the payout structure is a bit flatter, not so top-heavy.

jesus payouts are flat already.....commonly in B&M tournaments 1st is in the 34%-40% prize pool range.

[basshuntr]

My understanding is it means Large Capacity. (number of possible entries)

Okay, but why do you call it "large caps"? That must mean something.

[SCfuji]

i heard that there was a cap on the number of players that could enter the tournament.... i have no proof of this, however.

[SossMan]

is it because Party wants you to wear one of these (http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:PM7Rg-XtIzkJ:www.usna.edu/WomensRugby/images/big%2520hats.jpg) while playing??

WOW is 40% TO ONE PLAYER OUT OF 100 FLAT IN YU OPINION ESPECIALLY IN A GAME WHERE CHANCE PLAYS A HUGE ROLE??
I personally think a 13% payout is good with the top spot garnering like 25-30%

I remember reading a while back, and unfortunately I cannot find where now, that is what originally named because it was originally designed to cater to Stock Traders but has since just become the same thing as a regular tourney.

Not sure if I am remebering exactly, 2+2 search doesn't help, google doesn't seem to want to help. Nobody seems to know now, possible I could've read someone's guess but it seemed like they were stating it as a fact, not assumption.

I'm fairly certain it was posted somewhere here on 2+2. Maybe it was rgp, but i don't think so. I definitely heard the stock trader thing too, and it made sense.
