Payouts were too top heavy before, but paying out 30% is not a good solution. They should just pay out 30% in triple ups not GPPs. I think an ideal GPP would only pay out 15% of the field and the mincash would be double the buyin with 10% up top.
For instance a $3 GPP might look like this (based on $1,250,000 prizepool and 490,100 entries like this week's play action on DK)
place | prize | cumulative for this band |
1 | $125,000 | $125,000 |
2 | $75,000 | $75,000 |
3 | $50,000 | $50,000 |
4 | $30,000 | $30,000 |
5 | $20,000 | $20,000 |
6 | $15,000 | $15,000 |
7-8 | $10,000 | $20,000 |
9-10 | $7,500 | $15,000 |
11-12 | $5,000 | $10,000 |
13-15 | $3,000 | $9,000 |
16-25 | $2,000 | $20,000 |
26-35 | $1,500 | $15,000 |
36-50 | $1,000 | $15,000 |
51-75 | $750 | $18,750 |
76-100 | $500 | $12,500 |
101-150 | $350 | $17,500 |
151-250 | $250 | $25,000 |
251-400 | $150 | $22,500 |
401-750 | $90 | $31,500 |
751-1,250 | $60 | $30,000 |
1,251-2,500 | $40 | $50,000 |
2,501-5,000 | $25 | $62,500 |
5,001-10,000 | $15 | $75,000 |
10,001-20,000 | $12 | $120,000 |
20,001-35,000 | $9 | $135,000 |
35,001-73,500 | $6 | $231,000 |
the above would overpay the 1.25MM guarantee by a whopping $250 so just trim the bottom part of the structure by 41 people or make the $750 band pay through 74th place and bump 75th down to $500. This is 14.997% of people itm.
Everyone in the top 5,000 makes more or the same as under the current structure with the exception of 2,501-3,000 making $5 less under this structure and the bottom makes more in some spots and less in some but by tiny amounts bc the current structure escalates in $1 increments from $5-10 and then goes to $12 then $15.
In the above 3rd place pays what the current structure pays to first. 10th pays what 5th currently gets. 36-50 get what 16-25 currently get. Its a lot better for the top of the structure and is basically fully funded by the band that no longer mincashes $5.
