20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
All of Stars MTT's $10 and under are now at 20% payouts. The guaranteed rebuy's are the only one's not. I don't play the &10 anymore so it doesn't affect me, but I used to. Such a shame that you can play for 4 hours and make $5. I would be pissed if I make a FT and alot of it is taken away and given elsewhere.

You realize this has no effect whatsoever on your tournament EV, right?

what's your logic for that? i'd think it would. Though the impact it has will be small.

Yeah, you might have to make some minor adjustments to achieve optimal EV with the new structure, but in the long run, though you will make less money on average when you do make the money, you will make the money more often. It all balances out. |

What difference does that make, EV-wise?

Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
Wouldn't this depend on how good you are?
For good, aggressive players that frequently make final tables when making the money I would think this would make the tournament EV lower. For bad/passive players that frequently squeak into the money the tournament would have a greater EV. Thats what I'm thinking at least. |

Yeah I agree it might vary from player to player. What I'm saying is that you should be able to make the proper adjustments to maximize EV and not "lose" anything in the switch to the new structure.

Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
they take large chunks of money from the top places (5% from first) and give it to the lower places. Since i'm an arrogant bastard, i think i'll finish in the top places more often than average, and i'll finish in the 10%-20% range not as often.
I definitely think that means i lose value. |
