I like the bigger jumps because lots of people make mistakes trying to move up a step or 2 on the pay scale.

And I am the best [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

You're the best. We know this.

I think fish like big 1st place prizes and large %s of the field cashing. This of course squeezes the middle a bit, but increasing the fishiness of tournaments can only be good. It's a similar mentality of a lottery: while the lure of a huge cash hooks thim, frequent small cashes keep them coming back.

The money has to come from somewhere and that means less for first.

While I don't disagree with the rest of your point they simply need to take money from 16-18 and give that to 10-12 without changing the final table payouts to accomplish this.

This would actually introduce 2 more "abuse points" ... worth a thought ....

This generally only works against the worst shortstacks, but it does happen on FTP.

also you don't have to deal with hand for hand which i could see being a huge pain in certain tourney structures

i think the main problem is with the sats.

eg a sunday mil sat can pay 1 player, with the next 9 or something getting the 2nd place prize whats up with that?

is it your goal to get 11th in many tournaments?

There was a stretch where I had 5 10th place finishes and 0 final tables over like a month. Basically I wanted to kill myself.
