My n00bish conclusion is:
The beginner stts' only cuts away 10% of the winnings, you know, ending 5th is really bad, since you won't be ending EV+ with 5th places. Rake you know =)
The difference between winning and ending second is only 20%, in difference to a 50/30/20 structure in which the difference is about 67%.

So the motivation for playing for the first place is lower then in the normal ones, and so is the award! (connection? XD) So I'd find these very boring to play I guess.

The plus part is that they are very beginner friendly and for people that are actually playing poker for the game itself except for "just winning" can do this with a very low hourly cost!

I think that these games should exist on every site for beginners to play and is a good idea by bodog.
