The smaller buyin trnys should be the 15% and bigger games the 10%. Live games like the World Poker Tour (WPT) probably should be 10% and the World Series of Poker as well 10%. To award those that are playing as job. personally myself I won't make final table deals lol Steve

( we grinded for 4.5 hours). I thought anyone that made the FT and hung in there that long deserved something. I also knew that the $$ we decided upon was a drop in the bucket from what the top 3 were going to be paid and in just one hand played poorly that could have been me. So I am for the flat rate.. Outstanding poker players will most likely do well in the tournaments they play, will see the cash and be rewarded based on their years of experience. The less experienced player with great cards on any given day can take those and perhaps hone their skill and by playing longer and properly be rewarded and gain more knowledge and confidence. One last thought: Like marathon runners that have to qualify for cetain big races.. Is there anything like that in poker? Your ranking and getting to play the Big games vs just being able to buy your way in??

However for those that are more experienced, who've worked hard to get where your at, spend more to play, I can see preferring the regular payout so that you are more rewarded for your efforts. Honestly, until I read this blog I wasn't aware that there were 2 different payout structures. You're always keeping me informed ;) For where i’m at now in my poker game I like just making it into the money.

LIVE PLAY - Deals / Rule of No Deals is much easier and likely to be inforced. Players who travel & play for a living know the rules of the game and respect them 1000 to 1 more than online players. The respect for the rules is also much heavier live. Personal feeling is that when one sits into a tournament, their sitting in TO WIN - not just finish in the money. So yes, it's great to have a distance between 1st & 2nd payout amounts (and so forth down the line).
