Dani, (truce?) I get the same impression from our players that they are attracted by the carrot being dangled (ie. the 1st prize) We give 39 % for 1st what does your place do?

100 people payout 10 (10% of entries is pretty standard)
maybe 28%-30% 1st prize

\o/ someone else who thinks like me. Unfortunately some of the fruitbats round this end are either not willing to listen to me babble on or are too greedy to want a lower first prize.
The fact that almost every game ends in an even split deal does not factor in their equation :|

and congrats to snoopy
Thx Versaci. Much appreciated.
With regards to the structure, I think players like the idea of a massive first prize, but forget how frequently a deal is done, therefore resulting in that top figure rarely being won.
A deal was done with 7 left on the £300 as no-one wanted to risk ending up with a mere £1300. Blinds were getting big and the players realised that 1 bit of bad luck could cost them 2-3 grand.
Tell Zak ty from me for getting the chip count sorted. I could sense potential arguments and unnecessary bickering, but thankfully they were avoided.

Because the prize structure is lame!!!! (Rinse repeat ad finitum)
Back when we used to get a full quota of 88 players at the Riverboat, in what was only my second live tournament I found myself on the final table with over 80k in chips. Top 3 places where paid. I was feeling a lack of confidence and naeivety in deal making. I can't recall the full value in the pot, but I ended up taking £750 and finishing second in a 5 or 6 way split. First place took just over a grand, possibly 1300. He was not that much more than myself in chips. The rest was split between the other players. I was just happy to take a prize, with only one rebuy.
Plus my mother in law had fallen asleep at the computer roulette and I was fearing for the safety of my wallet as my wife was heading towards the roulette table again.
