dna4ever 2 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 yea like give out 30 percent or somethig total.. and whoever did the best in the league gets the most percentage points. Agreed 100%. WSOP events in general are grueling and to have to give 50% away because you WON the seat in what is essentially a satellite seems high. If you were backed in the event that's different, but keep in mind, the winner of the seat OUT PERFORMED everyone else in the competition to earn the seat and I think that person should be able to keep more of his/her winnings.another sample % scenario listed in order of finish from 1st to 20th70 5 4 3 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 Link to post Share on other sites
outsider13 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 What about if somebody has to miss one of the weeks? Would they just ship the $10 to you and forfeit their points. I bring it up because it's a possibility.As for the percentage, I agree 50% is a bit high. 30% seems better. As far as distribution of the 30%, I'd be fine with even distribution but whatever.

Naked_Cowboy 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 In please, 5th the suggestion that the winner should get 70% of themself in the tournament. Will the tournaments be all NLHE? Would be cool to throw maybe a HORSE and an 8 game tourney in during the 10 weeks to level the field for those of us who are specialists in other games.If so, could the winner play a non-NLHE $1,500? (i think there are quite a few people here, including myself, who are far more +EV in a mixed or non holdem event). Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 You should have everybody ship half the buyin at the beginning to ensure that people are serious and make the Tournaments $5.50 buyins so that you are paying less rake to Poker Stars.You're welcome.

bdc30 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just a thought. Since most of the people who join this probably don't see $120 as life changing money...why not play it as two separate pools. Take the $120 up front to enter in the series, then just enter the tourney each week and let the winners keep their profits. That way everyone's locked in for the main pool, and even if you have no shot at the package, there's still incentive to cash in the last couple tourneys. Link to post Share on other sites

If I didn't live in the PST I could play every quarter and I'd own all the chipsets. But as it is I can only play about half the tourneys every quarter and finish just out of the top 9.
