I still think you guys are getting it wrong.

The way I read it:

Out of the $60 entry fee the house keeps 25% = $15; $45 goes to prize pool

Out of the $10 add-on fee the house keeps 50% = $5. $5 goes to prize pool.

Total fee paid $70, house keeps $20, $50 goes to prizes.

So the tournament is effectively $50 + $20. That's a 40% vig.

I read it as $60+15 b/c I consider pokerstars to be a 10% rake when it charges me 10+1. If it is really 50+20, I'd say that's probably not beatable at all.
