pokerstars generous 20% payout structure

I found a couple of micro tourneys <$1.00 buyins that pay around 20% of the field. I just love those tourneys. I've searched in the >$1.00 buyins and I could not find a single tourney with the same payout structure.

Have any of you found higher buyin tourneys with a 20% payout structure?

In general these are generous just for Stars. More rake for them, as most "winning" players just get their buy-in back and a little more. I hate tournaments that pay out more than 15% of the field and smallest prize should be at least 2x buy-in.

But if you want such then I think that Party has most flat prize structures in general.

The $0.11, $0.27, $0.55, $0.82 turbo tournaments are playing all day long and they pay about 20% of the field. I will insta register in them (whatever late reg) every time I feel I got the time to play them.

i would rather prefer 10% and 15% structure in micro tournament because the 20% payout structure just make it way less profitable when you are itm
However i think that a 20% payout structure works much better on higher buy in tournaments of at least 11 dollars, and specially in events like the sunday million because most players would be pleased to win some cash and also there are 82.50 fpp for every player who participate on the tournament.

no, i think most of them have a 15% payout structure, however i think it would be a good idea to make some tournaments with a 20% payout structure on medium and high buy in tournaments. in micro tourneys i would rather prefer a 10% payout structure because the amount of money and the hours you have to spend on this tournaments arent worth it most of the time unless you reach the final table which is very unlikely to happen.
