Default Re: Prize Pool question

[ QUOTE ]
So the 175 + 25 in the OP is effectively a 170 + 30?

How much effect does this have on the beatability of the tournament? At what point does rake make you steer clear of a tournament? 20%?

A local hospital (Provena in Champaign, IL) is holding a charity poker tourney the night before I head to Elizabeth, Indiana for the WSOP-C event.

Their Main Event has a $150 entry fee with 1st place paying $10,000

I was considering playing in this as a "warm-up", until I discovered only 39% of the entry fees is being paid out in the prize pool.

I realize it's a charity event, but since 71% is being skimmed off the top, I figured it's just too steep to overcome.
