I just don't get this... I play a 2000 person, $10 tourney.. for 10th place, I would get $100. (10-18th get .50%). For 6ht place, I would get $480. So I beat out 1990 people, I get 10x my buy in, but If I beat out 1994 people, I get 48x my buy in

Incidentally, it's absurd that 10th -18th in a tourney of 2000 people get the same amount (plus, it makes for more hand for hand play, which is frustrating).

Welcome to tournament poker. Everywhere.

Mr. Jones, regarding the 20% pay out structure please DON'T LISTEN to the posters above.

20% pay out is one of the best initiatives lately to keep tournament poker profitable for us, that belongs to the vast majority of mediocre players.

20% outs is a great incentive to keep everybody playing - a chance for even the most inexperienced (poor) players to cash just once in a while and keep it interesting for them to continue buying in.

20% tournaments are a great initiative to keep the tournament poker expanding with a rate high enough to make it profitable for more than the top 5% - 10% of the players.

Who ever don't like them still have a ton of 10% tournaments to buy in to.

LET'S KEEP THOSE 20% PAY OUT TOURNAMENTS - PLEASE

Best,

McMelchior (Johan)

More large($100-$500) buy-in deep stack tournaments. I can't seem to bring myself to join one of these $33 deep stacks and play for 12 hours.
