Absolute shorting prize pool?
Hey all,
Tonight in the $3 9k gtd on Absolute there was 739 entries, 1675 rebuys, and 845 add ons. At $3 a piece that is 9777 dollars. The total prize pool at the end of the tournament was only $9,000. I'm sure there is an explanation but can anyone more familiar with Absolute shed some light? Maybe display error or something? |

Re: Absolute shorting prize pool?
I am not sure but I think they add up the $3+$.30 and all the $3 rebuys and add ons and take 9% of that total as juice.
If this is right then they missed the guarantee and had to kick it up to the 9k. |

Yes, Absolute lists their tourney entries as buy-in and fees combined, with 9% being entry fee. They do that on all their MTTs.

That is weak. Thanks for the info, though. |

I did the math a while back and for an average 700 player $3 rebuy AP charges four times the vig of what Full Tilt does. None of the other sites take a percentage of the rebuys and add ons to my knowledge, but I could be wrong. Stars and Full Tilt do not. |
