Many times I've played a tournament with lot of players (3.000 - 5000) and after 3-4 hours I finished between 20 and 30 place and the prizes are small enough for so many hours!! Even in 15th place it's not something big comparing to the final table which is one winning hand far.. e.g you play a 3.30$ with 3000 players and you get 15 place which gives you 31$ but if you had won your final hand you would double and wait 30 more minutes and get 7th place which gives you 140$.. These are real prizes from today's "big 3.30" (pokerstars).. Is there any rule on how prizes are calculated and is it the same on other poker-sites?
My opinion is that it would be better if less players were paid but with higher prizes... There is no point giving 6$ to places 500-600 (600$ total) and 7$ to places 400-500 (700$), you don't play a 3,30$ MTT just to double your buy-in (better to play a sit&go with much better chances to earn 6$), so in my opinion it would be better to add this 1300$ to the higher positions...
