    i only found it on the structure sheet which is just retarded. So if there was 399 entrants then they pay 50 players but with 400 or more they pay 100 placces.

    Have they released the actual payouts yet?

    The flatter the payout tructure the more people that will keep playing. If you keep taking peoples money over and over with no return they will stop playing. Spread some of the money around so some people can min cash and feel like they are at least breaking even.

    Life-changing money at the top to bring in the pros and lots of small payouts at the bottom to bring in the fish and decent players gets the biggest field sizes and the most dead money. The last thing the poker world needs is there to be so much money at the top and so little at the bottom that you have to go through a zillion great players to get anything out of their tourneys. That's how to get the games to dry up.
