Home Game pay-out dillema, 1st is skewed?
Hi folks. I play in a weekly 20$ buy-in tourny with a bunch of friends, and we've recently decided to come up with a payout sheet for each possible prize pool considering an optional 10$ half re-buy. This is so we can avoid confusion come payout time.
The current payout structure heavily favors 1st place, coming away with about 60% while 2nd and 3rd kinda get the scraps. I feel like this heavily favors the better players. Problem is I cant come up with a way to explain it to my buddies. And I feel like the 50/30/20 payout structure is better, bringing the edge down for better players? Is my thinking flawed? Maybe someone can explain it to me barney style. Ty [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Why are you trying to bring down the edge for better players?
If your buddies don't want to play a skill based game, you could try bingo night. |
Re: Home Game pay-out dillema, 1st is skewed?
Because its a friendly home game, with alot of unskilled players and a few good ones.
Or maybe we should just take after you, and have a nice circle jerk night instead? Nah thanks... lol |

50 30 20 is standard until you get to big tournies but i doubt you guys have that

I got thrown out of a three table tourney once for suggesting that the winner getting 95% was anything other than perfect.... |

60/30/10 is a great payout for a home game. 50/30/20 is too flat

Re: Home Game pay-out dillema, 1st is skewed?
IF 50/30/20 is too flat you wouldn't want to know how we payout. We always do first gets half - but with ten people we'd actually pay a 4th person I think...We set in stone our payout structrue for 3-12 players. (12 is or normal maximum w/no guests.) I can post our structure if you want - but not everyone here would like it. It works very well for our group though.

5 or 6 players - 70/30 7 to 10 players - 50/30/20 11 to 14 players - 40/30/20/10 15 to 18 players - 40/25/15/10/10 |

Re: Home Game pay-out dillema, 1st is skewed?
Here is my over researched payout structure:
