It's been said before but dam stars new payouts suck!
By Kenny Rap on 06-28-2008 12:10 PM

380 people in a 100 freeze and under 8k for first? 50r is like 8k for first? Simply awful and very greedy by stars if it is due to have more rake circulating quicker.

Is WCOOP going to have this new awful payout? I thought point of mtts was play for first.

I agree 100%

100k nightly pays out like 20k usually now

Full Tilt is really starting to pull away as a clear #1.  Didn't think I would ever say that.

i agree, especially combined with the fact that stars refuses to overhaul their schedule or even add guarantees to staple tourneys ($22R, $109R, $55+1r+1a, etc)

There is nothing more annoying than playing a 2K person tourney on there and making the last three tables and getting barely 8x your buyin back.

No reason to pay out more than 10% of a field period.

Seriously, I don't want to cash and make less than my buyin back and there are several tourneys on PS that happens in.

Its not just the high buyin tourneys, its across the board, PS fix your payouts for crying out loud.


For all the blasting of my favorite site Bodog, they pay 10% of the pool normally and frankly I love it.

Thank god Iam a European !

The daily 15k always used to give about 5k to first now its about 3k plus!

Stars are so bad, they really are not intrested in giving players what they want(take cash steps for instance) I mean the Mtt schedule for us Europeans is SOOOooo bad....But then again I can play on ANY site in true freedom, but I still love stars interface etc, just they do not give a shit about what players want.

Why not some big gurantees for $55/$75 etc etc??

WTF are they worried about?

As a low to medium stakes player, I originally thought that I liked the change.  However, now I only try to play the tourneys that pay 10% of the field.  The low levels of cashing when they pay more then 10% doesn't make the time you have to put into a tourney worth it.  There are so many tournies that you don't even make your buy-in back.
