please help me settle an argument about 20 table SNG's

[Nepa]

Here is the Argument. My Friend thinks that adding five more tables to the 20 table SNG's(making them 25 table SNG's) and paying Three tables instead of two would add ROI to better players because you should make the money more offen.

I say that it doesn't matter that much because most of the money is paid to the top 3 players.

I voted.

You are right. Your friend is wrong.

I would rather have a 20 table sng pay 1 table.

I like your idea. When you make the money, you MAKE the money.

er.. i voted to agree with you, but i dunno now.

you'd have to compare the entire payouts to know.

Thanks for the help. From the vote total I think that this issue is settled.

fwiw i think i've switched sides.

the top 18 payouts would be bigger, and people that finished 19-27 would barely get more than their buyin back.

I'm almost sure, the 25 table would have a higher EV.

Yeah pay less players..I just won a $5 3 table SnG over at party I was playing for fun. $45 to first, 37 to 2nd and 30th to 3rd. 5th got 15...What the hell..5th...3 is already the top 10%, thats more than enough.
