yeah, but they need at least -some- tournies with tough payout structures. like ones that pay top 3%-5% very heavily. because if you look at a tourney that pays the top 10%-14% a large chunk of the prize pool is wasted ;/
for instance, in this $20 freezeout im looking at now, top 16% are paid (135 out of 838). if they moved it down to top 5% paid (top 41)
$1106.16 from 91-135 get $25.14
$871.52 from 90-64 get $33.52
$712.30 from 63-46 get $41.90
$175.98 from 45-42 get $58.66
---------
$2,865.96
more would go to the top 41 that is wasted on people that wont even recognize their cashing as a real win anyway. that's an average of an extra $69.90 per top 41. that means the bottom spot getting paid is getting over $128, which seems much more like a win when investing $20 than $25
