Thanks. Sarcasm noted.

I found this interesting with all the Stars 20% payout discussion that has been going on lately.

I think a lot of the WPT events have 20% payouts, or close to it. I suppose it is because so many people are internet/satellite qualifiers.

Huh? How do you draw that conclusion?

I think it is a fairly easy conclusion to draw... players arent just buying in anymore directly, so many of them profit greatly just getting the buyin back.

comparing the payouts of a $15k tournament to a $5 tournament is kinda silly.

why? we're bankrolled for $5 tournaments, and most of us were pissed that they moved to 20%.

If you were bankrolled for the $15k buyins wouldn't you be pissed that it's at 20%?

granted, we're not rolled for the 15k so for us 20% is just fine.

Speak for yourself.

...wait, I meant to quote the part where you said we *are* bankrolled for 5$ tournaments [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

There aren't even a lot of pros who are properly bankrolled for a 15k tournament.
