Top 1 or Top 3
I'm looking at some of my results over my first 500 SnGs, and I find that my ITM + RoI percentages aren't where I want them. I come in first 17% of the time, and ITM 33%, with a low RoI. If only the winner gets paid, my RoI would be almost 55%, assuming the same results.
Now, if this were to happen, there would obviously be consequences. Would n00bs play less SnGs if this happened, due to only a 10% chance of cashing, rather than 30%? Would the play become much tougher? Would you still play SnGs if they became winner take all? I think 2p2ers would like this to happen, because 2p2ers should be in the top 1/3 of players, but I'm very interested in what you guys think. -dirty |

Re: Top 1 or Top 3
Paying the top three allows for more mathematical errors by reasonable players and instinct players.
That's good for us. Lori |

Re: Top 1 or Top 3
in the short term though, right?
i would assume in the long run that if you are a better player, winner take all would appeal more than top 3 |

Re: Top 1 or Top 3
believe it or not,ppl actually get paid to figure out which payout is better.The site already figured out 50/30/20 is better for them.
I sent an email and they told me because they thought it was the best payout. |

Top 3 reduces variance.
