Recent DTD Payouts

[david3103]

10% of total entries or 10% of unique entries?

more pertinent in comps with stack merging i guess but adjusting the min-cash to suit someone who wants to fire three or four or five or even six bullets and then adding more min-cashes into the equation because there were people doing just this penalises thone of us who generally have only the one shot

I don't mind min cash being double the buyin. I also think re-entry should not be a contributing factor.

Hi All

Generally we pay 12 - 15% of the field with approx 25% for the winner depending on size of field, min cash starts at 2x buy in but can vary with re-entry.

However you have to realise only 25% of the field usually re enter so increasing min cash means reducing number of payouts.

I prefer higher roi up top to reward the winner, this will also take into account his re-entry costs but ultimately whatever we do it is impossible to please everyone.

I never mind anyone airing their opinions either directly with me at the club or on Blonde as the only way we can improve is to listen to our customers.

Cheers ACES

ty simon i understand it is indeed impossible to please everyone

I think that payouts have become to flat and prefer the 10% of field paid and big cash prize for the winner

If you're trying to keep a steady influx of recreational players joining the game then the double the buyin for cashing is a must and the more paid the better. I can understand the more experienced players or those that live in the casino wanting more up top as they are statistically more likely to be getting more cashes. I do agree the final table payouts could be flattened... even if it means a leap from 10th to 9th and then flatter steps up.

I would like to point out that the headhunter is a little too much for me. I would have been happier with a 25+10 sorta thing, and would have been up for playing this every week. I think this has impacted negatively on the numbers that this tournament gets, and a reduced price would make this tournament much more popular.

Agree with this. I went to the first one of the £50 + £25 +£8 ones, advertised as a freezeout and it became a reentry and only just made the guarantee of £2500 (50 entries needed). I can see why theres a guarantee as other venues locally have a tourney on a Thursday. Not sure how many it got last week and I think maybe a Super 50, a beginners and instead of a £15 as third tournt on a Thursday maybe a £15 plus £5 plus £x reg HH?

can relate to this...got half term off work next week and looked to come and play the headhunter...would deffo come over at 25+10 0r even £20+£20. I guess there must be plenty of players with deep pockets though if they still get the numbers (don't know how many play it) at the current price.

Like many recs I love online headhunters as you know even if you don't make the money the head prizes can cover your buy in and it lets you play a looser game...perhaps that's why the pros don't seem to like them.

Why not simply copy this example from a tried and trusted operator?

This is their payout structure for a field of just under 400 runners.

Rounded out to almost 10% of the field paying 40 with a slightly above 2x min-cash and fairly graduated pay-jumps.

Personally like the payout structure here.
