That's one of those goofy spots I was talking about where it's just after a jump in the number paid. If there were 700 in the tourney (the last number before more are paid) then 99 would have been paid out.
I'm torn between paying 15% of the field or paying 10-12%. Good arguments can be made for both and depending on the day I'll agree with either one.
Final table payouts I guess I'm in the minority here, but i think there is nothing wrong with those payouts. 9th place is just over 10x your buyin and the payjumps get progressively larger until 1st.
People told td to look at payouts when he was in Vegas, so I just looked up the daily deepstack from when he was there. This one is from July 11.
417 entries paying 63 places. Min cash was 353 on a 235 buy in.
The final table paid
1- 17,000
2- 10,514
3- 7370
4- 5255
5- 3813
6- 2815
7- 2116
8- 1620
9- 1263
Obviously there's less runner in this one so 9th is it going to be 10x buy in, but the spread on ft payouts is pretty similar.
Fix the number cashing and min cashes, but leave the final table payouts alone.
I would hope the pay jumps would get progressively larger from 9th-1st or else it would be opposite day. The only significant payouts and jumps are top 3 though.
The daily deep stack used those payouts and a lot of people were bitching about that too so to comparing it to wsop deep stack payouts makes my point even more valid.
Also I think you can keep the current pay out for a few of the tournaments on the schedule just like all the other sites do. A mixture of payouts is fine. The standard payout however should be adjusted.
