Re: Dear Lee Jones; Volume II
 

If you have blocks of prize money the same. (i.e.e, 10th 18th the same), then you have a block of hand to hand play before it. If it was graduated, as I think it should be, you wouldn't have hand to hand. The problem is, you'd probably have stallers then. I don't really like hand to hand.

Rakeback

Fix turbo satellites. The stalling at the bubble is positively disgusting. If I were PS, I'd be ashamed that some of my games were playing in a way that's borderline unfair.

More large($100-$500) buy-in deep stack tournaments. I can't seem to bring myself to join one of these $33 deep stacks and play for 12 hours.

hand for hand when its 3 tables or 2 tables really really isn't that bad.

and there would be an absurd amount of stallers if it was constantly graduated.

I just don't get this... I play a 2000 person, $10 tourney.. for 10th place, I would get $100. (10-18th get .50%). For 6ht place, I would get $480. So I beat out 1990 people, I get 10x my buy in, but If I beat out 1994 people, I get 48x my buy in

Incidentally, it's absurd that 10th -18th in a tourney of 2000 people get the same amount (plus, it makes for more hand for hand play, which is frustrating).

Welcome to tournament poker. Everywhere.

Re: Dear Lee Jones; Volume II
 

I agree about the absurd stallers. It's probably a necessary evil. But I don't see why hand for hand and block payments for 10-18th go together. You could do hand for hand and still have graduated payments there.
