Bad payout structure?

[Toro]

I think so. It's been a while since I went deep in stars $5 rebuy tourney so I was a little disappointed and surprised at how little 11th place paid in this tourney.

With over 2000 starters and $44,000+ prize pool I think getting this deep is "worth" a lot more than $274. Going have to think if it's really worth playing this anymore.

Here's payout schedule(top part anyway):

1. $7548
2, $4370
3. $2525
4. $2075
5. $1678
6. $1324
7. $980
8. $750
9. $530
10th to 13th $274

it's only a $5 tournament, thats like 50+ buyins..

if you want a better payout then only play the ones that pay 10%. i think the 5r's are like half and half 10%/20%

[shaundeeb]

ray I think they all went to 15%/20 last time I noticed.

Well that's just what I'm saying. I didn't realize it was a 20% payout tourney until I got deep. No one to really blame. I guess they have these because this is what the masses prefer.

Edit: It was a rebuy tourney, I had about $20 invested so it wasn't 50+ buy-ins.

Oh, I tried but they wanted me out. I was 2nd short stack with about an M of just under 4 and we were 5 handed and it was folded to me on the button and I pushed with K7o. SB wakes up with AK and pushed over me. BB folds and says he had AJ.

I mean wtf, they both got to wake up with big aces 5 handed?
