Exactly man, this is weird. I just noticed this last time when I was playing. Made it to the top 1000 and I just cash in 35$?? 5 hours of playing and you give me 35$ in a 25 000 players tourney with a 275k prize pool....??
It's weird that the only ones getting good prizes are only the 100 firsts. The final table has really big prizes, they should lower the bigger prizes so it's more interesting for everybody. It really sucks to be grinding for so long and then get a 30$ cashin...but at the same time I would be happy to be at FT or near it....
This is a dilemma all poker rooms have, both online and live. It is usually described in the 'Structure' area and is always something you should investigate. Structures vary widely. I prefer a wide payout structure, and tend to shy away from the narrow structures. Wide would be that 25% of the players win something, narrow would be 10% of the players get ITM.
All tourneys are going to be top heavy, meaning the big money is at the final table.

This is it, ladies and gent! The Sunday Stooooorm!
But they lowered the prize pool to 250k :s
Anyways, good luck to all! ^^
Once upon a time it was $100k
