ya i agree on the payouts. The structure was much better before black friday not sure if the non usa are still better or if they changed also. hopefully oneday online poker becomes what it used to be but probably not
In my first few months playing online, I played a $10+1 MTT that featured most likely over 8000 entrants. It had a good structure so it definitely took many HOURS to complete. But it was worth it, taking down over $11,000 for my efforts. Unless (1)
US poker is "legalized" again and (2) it regains the popularity, to a certain extent, that it once had, I think we will NEVER again see these kinds of ROI possible.
On ACR, if I want to try to win that much in a tourney, I can't even look to the $1k CAGE, since that winner gets usually 7-8k at most. Not exactly the same ROI!
Sure, there are these GTDs that they fuel from sattys, super sattys and every other promotional option. But you win the super satty (I almost did), you win the satty, you sit down thinking you have a legitimate shot at a pig payday (lmao delusional) and at least one jackass or two at the table decides he wants to put the entire table to the test for all their chips before the 2nd Level is even reached.
