    I kno alot have complaineed about stars' MTT prize payout structure. I think the tourneys payout too big of a percentage of the field, and then have too huge jumps in cash wen it gets to the end.

    What are your better suggestions for payout. Assume a tourney with 500 ppl distributing a prize pool of 10000$.

    Pay out the top 10 percent and be done with all these stupid posts.

    Seems pretty simple to me (and wretchy is right). The players traditionally want 10%. stars wants 20% because it keeps everyone in the game feeding the rake machine. Why not compromise at 15? Also why change high stakes structures when their overall rake contribution is low in the grand scheme of mtts?

    Also keep in mind... it's in everyone's interest to keep the donkeys in the game.
