I was curious as to what everyone thinks about the way FullFlush runs their MTT's... They seem to have a very top heavy payout structure, with almost every tournament having 8 minute blind levels and no antes. Just curious what the majority thought of the 8 minute levels with no antes, as well as lop-sided payout structures? For instance, they have games that require a minimum of 25 players to run, but at the same time payout 25 players. What the hell is that about? Anyway, I also have noticed that many of the tournaments are rebuy tournaments, and usually a min cash will lose you money... Especially if you took a rebuy or the add-on. With basically 15 players profiting (cause usually 25th -16th, you will break even or realistically lose some change) do you find these games to be "worthy" to you? And the "real" profit really coming from 5th -1st, adding in the 8 minute blind levels and no antes, does this just seem like a crap shoot to anyone else but me? Interested in hearing other's thoughts on the subject. This all stems from a situation at the ft of a game tonight, but not sure how to post the HH, in order to get input on it...:confused: Maybe someone could also shed some light on how to get and post a HH form FullFlush, if anyone knows. Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention, it leads to this question, with a tournament paying 25+ places, what do you think of 1st getting $60, 2nd getting $30 and 3rd receiving $12? Is that too drastic a jump in payout, between 1st and 3rd? Realistically it is a 5:1 pay difference between 1st and 3rd... And it payed 27 places, 27th getting $2, all the way to (I believe) 18th... Is that justified in the opinion of the masses? I think if there was a unanimous out-lash/ backing/ unison amongst players for support of new/ improved MTT payout structure, I'm sure it would benefit everyone. And FullFlush would at the very least have to reconsider thet way they structure MTT's, because, honestly, it is a bit of a joke. Or at least I think it is... Who is with me?

ya I tyhink its set up kinda tarded they should start it at 15 so you make back your money at least you get your money back. they are new though you should voice your opinion to them .they probably built that structure with high hopes of lots of people playing and the #s just aren't there yet

Thanks dirtyoldog for the response. I agree, I think they should set up the payout structure in such a way that you actually profit when finishing ITM. The way it is now seems rather hokey to me TBH. Glad I'm not the only one that sees it his way. Also agreed that the #'s they maybe want to see participatiing aren't quite there yet, but since they cover the overlay regardless, they could improve the stuctures, and in turn, IMHO, draw bigger fields, which is what they want, I'd assume... But what the hell do I know... Just baffles me, especially since they recently increased the $500 American Nightly Guaranteed to $1,000, doubling the prize pool, but still ridiculously top heavy in payouts...

It is this way , BUT if you see it another way you will be tempted to deposit there! I see nice advantages at this site. The best thing about it is that your payouts are easy and really fast! And the second best thing is the GTD prizes which are higher than the actual amount(money) from player buy ins. Also there are really bad players at all.
