If you generally make it to the top 100 in a 1000 to 1500 player tourney, there is not really much complaint to be done. You are generally placing in the top 7 to 10 percent positions which, can't be asked for much more. Most tourneys pay the top 15 to 20 percent of the players entering the tournament, so you should basically be in the money most games.
I would next be checking out that if it takes me 4 hours to get in the money, I would prefer the payout not be below $4, else it is wasting my time. You have to determine how much your time is worth. I have played in tournaments where 3 hours of my time paid 22 cents to be in the money. Can you better spend your time elsewhere. We don't get time back in our life.
