so in time strech when tournament started and was going 4 hours almost 2 players were going busto each second on average.
don't you think it's bit too fast?
No. Nor does anyone else who actually plays in it regularly.
Again, if you look at the payout structure, its $20 or whatever for top 4000 or so and then there is not a single change until top 400 or so. You think you see crazy behavior in the first bit of the tournament, you should see it once the first bubble is cracked and most people are relatively short stacked with nothing to lose.
2 eliminations a second? At that point (4000 players to 400) it is about 20-40 per second :P
This is not a normal structure, basically being a nut case for the first 24,600 eliminations is valid.
As I said before, as rigged theories go, this is a really bad one since anyone who plays in this tourney regularly knows what you are saying is just random guesswork.
Use better rigged theory selection.
All the best.
