    Played the $5, $12000 Gtd on Pokerstars, 3600 runners. 25th and got $37. What a waste of 3 hours +. Turbo, 5 min blinds. Made just over that in 22 mins in a 10c/ 25c cash table just after it. Only played it because l was steaming with the poor payout. I normally only play mtt's.

    nice effort, and ul on the payout, but at least its a profit Smile

    Not a fan of stars payouts, but the time you win it, youll appreciate the fact that 10% of your prize pool hasnt been paid out to 20th-30th lol

    i laugh at people who say pokerstars are too top heavy. they are not

    the reason the payouts suck is because they nearly always pay about 20% of the field instead of 10%. if they didnt pay that stupid extra 10% to all the busto worms hoping for a min cash then the payouts would be fine

    Yet "Pokerstars" would appear to be the most successful online poker provider, maybe their idea of catering to the masses is working ?

    I said top heavy m8t, not "too top heavy" I for one like the reward for the FT and have no complaints, but the structure does rely on multi tabing to yeld a good return.

    Bainn, it's not rocket science, offer lots of high GTD's at peanut buyins and accept USA players.

    Oh, one of those purchased titles, how quaint.

    Now would be the time to point out that you would be correct to address me as -

    "Reverend"

    It is a matter of respect when using someones correct title.

    I could call you "Lord" without being from or on the land that title refers to. Tis the same with "Reverend" you do not need to believe in my religion or any religion to use that title correctly when addressingsomeone.

    It's all about respect.
