i realise it is a month or two old, but still relatively new i suppose. what i don't understand is why pokerstars changed from paying 18/ 180 to 27. i speak for myself but i am sure others will agree that when you play an mtt/ sng you aim is to make a profit. if you finish 19-27 you get your money back, what is the point in playing to get your money back? i would rather get double by finishing 10-18 and risking getting nothing that coming 27th and getting a buy in back.

i agree, i played them at first, now i stopped, because of this, I had so many finishes right in 27, then 18, 15, 14 and so on and only a few FT's, so kinda no profit from that o_O

I remember playing this sng yrs ago and it wasn't really that profitable unless you made top 3 consistently anyways, so them stretching the min. payout 9places shouldn't change much. I remember bubbling this tournament a lot but when I did make the final table always had a top 3 stack since that's where the profit is, I miss stars and this tournament:(

yeah that's true although i was kind of under br'd for the $3.50r today so coming 5th like doubled mines haha. i take it you are from America then? i have never been able to play with Americans which is a shame, because i only started playing on stars like 8 months ago. by far the best site of any i have played on.

I think its because this way the recreational players don´t go busto that fast. Its important for the poker ecology.

Have you tried the 180 man 3$ turbo re-buys...the payouts in these seem pretty good, even though they still pay 27

Nice job, when I used to play these on FT I would never rebuy or addon, so even a min cash in 27th place would be a quadruple up at least, and I think only 18 were paid so payouts were even nicer.

Good luck!
