Default Re: I have an interesting question??

Don't throw a game. Some people can smell that. Even if they don't, it could backfire. The last time we had a player try to throw a game (because they needed to leave early), they ended up with 2/3 of the chips in play by the time they left and there was some resulting bitterness.

If you're truly taking first or second every time, why not flatten the payout? In one of our tourneys, we paid out six of fourteen. First got 33%, sixth got their money back. It may not be as exciting as the winner getting 70%+, but a lot more people were happy with their finishes.
