Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s

i .. don't agree. this is going to be bad for the better players. It's going to increase "bad" players EV. So where do they get this EV from? It comes from somewhere, and i dont thin kit's just a simple adjustment to get it back. The structure favors them. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
How are you saying it helps bad players? Does it increase the luck factor somehow? If so, how?

Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
If you felt that you were a bad player, like had a significant disadvantage vs the field. Would you rather play in a tournament that pays the top 10%? Or the top 20%?

Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
Would it matter? I'll make the money more often but earn less with the 20% structure, and less often but earning more with 10%.
Forgive me if I am being difficult and/or retarded here, I'm just failing to see how the structure makes a difference. |

Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
I think the opposite view is that a good player won't finish in that 10-20% range often enough to offset the money lost when finishing in the top 10%.

Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
absolutely it would matter, a better player is way more likely to turn a top 20% finish into a top 10% one, than a bad player is.
So these bad players stalling out in the 10-20% range is where the better players lose the money. -- i think a bad players ITM% would go up much more than a good players % would from this change. |

Because the longer you play, the more mistakes you will make if you are a donkey, combined with the fact that the field gets tougher as the tournament goes on.

Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
Though, one positive could be that w/ more people getting money, the "fish" won't get discouraged as easily, so maybe it'll keep them playing tournaments longer. so MAYBE theres a long term +EV bonus. but meh.

Re: 20% ITM on all Stars MTT\'s
I agree with what you are saying but the guy playing 1,2 buck tournies for fun is just happy to make the money.
As far as stalling around the bubble I don't that is really too bad. The pay ranges are pretty big at the start and don't start increasing until much after 9 tables remain. The bigger question is how many people would be loving it if they paid 20% at the WSOP in 2006? |
