I am wondering how some of you handle payouts.
A little background on the games I host: we're all old friends, we usually play for 20$, our games are now anywhere from 9 - 12 players. NL Hold'em Tourney.
In the past we usually gave 3rd place their entry fee back. And went up from there.
I would prefer to have a percentage like homepokertourney.com suggests: 50%, 30%, 20%
I'd really like to go to a 50/30/20 format - use that number up to say 12 players - if we had a 13 player tourney, then we might do 50/25/15/10
So I was wondering if some of you would care to share what payout structure you use. We could have anywhere from 7-12+ players so whatever we do end up using will have to be flexible.
Finally, do you keep extra cash to do the change? Example
11 player game - 20$ buy-in - 220 prize pool
1st (50%) = $110
2nd (30%) = 66
3rd (20%) = 44
Almost everyone pays in 20$ bills. Do you round up or do you keep a stack of singles to make change? Thanks!
