Otoh, the player who comes in the first time after that first jo and stays until the room closes actually gets opportunity for an extra 25%.
Assuming no admin fees then 100% of collected funds are returned to the player pool.
100K collected. 75k paid out. Table shorted 25%.
Next hand. 25K left over. 18,750 paid out. Table shorted 25%.
Next hand. 6,250 left over. 4,687.50 paid out. Table shorted 25%.
Just because that 25% doesn't represent the same absolute dollar value each time doesn't mean that in each instance the table wasn't shorted 25% of what's in the total prize pool.
I mean, what's a better story for a 1/2 busto to say to his wife when he comes home after a jackpot, I won $50K tonight, or I won $37,500? I'm sure the wife would think the missing $12,500 would look better in her purse than reseeding the pool for some other suckers.
