Donks and degens love the idea of winning $80,000 (especially when it's described as 40% of $200,000) as opposed to winning $100 when they flop quads.
Caesar's Palace in Vegas had it best - use the promo pool for both - es, it cuts into the BBJ susbstantially, but still leaves the overall BBJ pot big enough that the morons who think about it can still drool and say "wow, BBJ, I'd win 40% of $100,000", even though that's half of what used to be offered for the BBJ, but gives the place enough in the promo pot to use for other things.
Horseshoe Hammond uses part of that promo pot for tournament entry giveaways, so props to them for that.
