50-30-10 payout - how should I adjust?

I would adjust by finding a SNG that pays out 100% en totale.

50+30+10 =90

I suppose I could clarify that it's like a buy-in for 9+1 or 10 total with 10 players.

So its more like 55%/33%/11%

Yes.

And if anyone's had any experience with a structure like this before (although from the sound of it I'm guessing not), do other players tend to wait around for 3rd like in a 50-30-20 structure or do they gamble it up a bit more when there's 4 players left?

[Kevin8423]

Its probably similar, people want to get money (even if its just breakeven) so there is still a bubble at 4 players. You can probably be aggressive at the 3 person profit bubble since they won't want to get 3rd either.

The bubble isn't nearly as important.

Push less/call more 4+ handed. Push more/call less 3-handed

I think I kinda understand what you're getting at here, but wouldn't it make sense to push more 4 handed as opposed to 3 handed if the price of busting/bubbling isn't as high? (i.e. you could only lose $10 but potentially win $20-40 if you bubbled and finished 4th while trying to make a run for 1st or 2nd, but would win more like $0-10 if you squeak in as a short stack in 3rd and have very little chance of getting 1st or 2nd). I'd think people would play a bit more timid in trying to get into the money with 4 players compared to trying to get to 2nd with 3 players, so it would be a better spot to be more aggressive and chip up to make a run for 1st. Maybe the part that's throwing me a bit is the "calling" more/less part as I'm pretty sure I'd only be pushing/folding when down to 4, but idk..
