No one wants to play a tournament where 2nd place gets significant less money compared to first place.
If you are saying that the main goal in Bounty Builders is trying to only go for Bountys then you are playing these things completely wrong and lose a lot of money longterm.
You're still missing the point.
Full ko Hu are way different than bounty builders.On any competition with a prize money involved,the winner gets 2x second place.If you will scroll lobby,you will see that in fact,with the new payouts,second place get around 60-70% of the first prize(bounties included) and this goes up for different buyins.Im just to lazy to make printscreens for all those tournaments i am reffering at,just to see that i am in the right.
Why didnt they make first 3 places the same and play for bounties and only first two..it doesnt make sense to me.
Once again,for bounty builders turbo on demand,the prize for 1st could run up to 1700$ and now max prize is 1000$.You do the math and tell me that on long time people will drop those as well.It just happen to bounty builder 109 turbo on demand(it lasted roughly 5 or 6 days,until players didnt joined that tournament anymore and it has been deleted from the lobby)
Pokerstars just dont realize that if a tournament will drop its guaranteed prize pool,players will start to lose their interest for that specific tournament,moving to other tournaments until the same thing will happen
For example
BIG 55- it had a
50k guaranteed maybe 3 years ago,9k for 1st prize.Now it's 18k guaranteed with 3k 1st prize and 2k for second.I can bet a lot of money that in few months it will drop to 12k until it will be removed from lobby.All these things happened before on fultilt for the tournaments that were the most played on the site(Triceratops,T-rex,Multi50 etc)
Bounty builder 109,on a daily basis,you could have won 16-17 k.For the same number of entrats now you can get maximum 11-12k.Spreading money between all the people in the money could generate more rake,but on the long run,it will decrease the volume
In the end,i wasnt lazy at all and posted 3 printscreen for the most played bounty builders of one day
Bounty builders 44$ 2nd has 62% of 1st place
bounty builder 33 is even worse : 2nd gets 92% of first place(this is ridiculous)
Bounty builders 55$ 2nd gets 66% of first place
There you go :
