Am I just paranoid or have they been taking out more rake from the pot out fast fifties at Carbon? 1st place is 2.25 & 2nd place is 1.35. I thought it was 2.50 for first place, and 1.50 for second place.

Or maybe there are fewer players now. 9 instead of ten.
Yep, they lowered the number of players from 10 to 9, hence the lower payouts.Quote:

i haven't played them in a long time but its weird that they changed it
yeah from what i remember you are correct, that is bs for sure..wowQuote:

Prizes for sit n go's are based on the number of players. 10 players x 50 cent buy in = $5 total prize pool. 9 players x 50 cent buy in = $4.50 total prize pool.Quote:

I would guess the whole idea behind lowering the number of players would be get them to move along faster. Full-tilt had nine players w/their SnG's
yea it was much better with 10 players, i think the change in 3rd place sucks
does changing the field size from 10 to 9 even change the length of the games by any significant amount of time?
That's a good question. I checked the lobby, and there were over fifty of them going. You also have to consider that the tables fill up a bit faster too.Quote:
