I don’t see how a deep stacked low buyin tournament makes sense from anyone’s perspective. The rake per table hour has to be crazy low on a $300 tournament that lasts two days. And from a player perspective there’s no way to have a high hourly earn rate with such a small prize pool for the hours played. Am I missing something here?

They are fun. From the player point of view the deep stack definitely helps increase the skill edge. The smallest tourneys were, essentially, $289.50 + 40.50. The middle ones were $482.50 + 57.2. The big ones were $965 + 95. And that overstates the amounts of rake slightly as 10-15% of the +X there was going into the prize pool for overall DSE champion.
