Wooo Hoooo!!! This is my kind of question...one with an Answer!

What was a general view of the pay increases, I dont really play at stars.

[schwza]

uh, this is party.

payouts are 27%, 15.5%, 10.5, 8, 7, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1. (i.e., 10th = 1% of prize pool).

check your pm.

[A_PLUS]

got it, party.

What PM?

Well, it is +CEV, checking if it is +$EV now

[schwza]

jumped the gun... now check your pm. do you have icm tool for 10 payouts?

[A_PLUS]

Nah, the ICM I have only goes to 9 players. I will use a % of total chips * total money paid method

Easy push.

Even on the loosest table you'll pick up the blinds frequently (1/2 to 2/3) . When you do get called you're ~50/50 to double up or go out, since the payoff is very top heavy this is CEV++.

How many runners to start?
