As this is a poker Forum can you, the poker player, choose what percentage you would like to see go to first place. 300 votes and I will change my structure accordingly. 1 vote per player ONLY PLAYERS PLEASE  No casino staff!!

I think there could be a clear winner on this 1.

Fascinating Thread!! Me being just a simpleton, I had a discussion with 3 top players, 1 said he wanted all of the prize money another said 50% and the other wanted a more flatter structure completely. I left them arguing between themselves as a deal had just been done LOL.

looks like a clear winner is starting to emerge out of the blocks - that got my vote anyway!

Yes, but will the Card Room Managers listen?

With due repect to them, many of whom I count as friends, when it comes to this issue, they seem to "freeze". They KNOW what we want, but for some reason, seem frightened to do it. It's not difficult, it pleases the players, and it costs the Casinos NOTHING...... There MUST be a hidden agenda here, some resaon why they don't want to do it.

Carmel did it at Luton. She said "what's the problem?". We told her. She went away & came back 15 minutes later with 3 alternative options. We said "that one please" & she said "OK, done".....

A HUGE up to Carmel.

on sunday night they paid the top 10 in a 45 runner event i thought this was daft
top 5 would of been about right

but this is where it got stupid
10th £80
9th   £100
8th   £120
7th   £140
6th   £160
5th   £200
4th   £325
3rd   £440
2nd   £880
1st    £1625

(top 4 places are approx i didnt pay much attension to them as i knew it would be chopped or chip count before then)

i think it should of paid 5 spots with

1221       30%
1017.50   25 %
814          20%
610.50      15%
407           10%



this would of allowed people to play poker at the end and stop the rewarding players for just making a final table
if i play in a £25 rebuy comp i aint intrested in getting £100 or £140 that sometimes isnt paying for my rebuys but once you get in the money the money should have less of a jump so that people are more willing to play



for a 100 player event that pays top 10 i would make it

25%
20%
15%
11%
8%
6%
5%
4%
3%
2%

I think Red Dog's Twin needs to take priority here, Adam.

25%
20%

11%
8%
6%
5%

I think thats a tad too flat for most people's liking.

[Ironside]

if you look at how the deals are dont you will find that top 3 would proberly work out that way it will  also encourage more play

[MrMoves]

For 100 runners I like 30%, 20% and 12% for the first three.

However, if I'm about to win I prefer 100% for first 

[BlueWolf]

i like ironsides structure but i'm not allowed to vote lol

They pay 10 spots if the prize fund exceeds £1000 (obviously 5 if less) and 20 spots if there are over 120 runners (i think).
I assumed it was gaming board rules

nope aberdeen has always had over £1k for 30-44 runners when i have been there and only ever pay top 3

as long as the payout structure is advertised in advance then the casino's can pay out how they like (as long as they pay out a total off 100% of the money)
