Maybe I'm just cynical, but who writes "what's better...[Site X is doing this great thing!]"?
Also, it's amazing how so many of these events don't want to disclose their payouts...it's not that hard - Brian Campell's charity tournament back in Febuary was able to post the pay-outs (they were horrible, but then again no one was in this tournament because of the payout) when they first announced it. People are supposed to sign up for a poker tournament with no clue what the payout is other than it's "subject to change"? And put the money down first?
