Petition to increase BCP payout

[gpahren]

I played on the $20 Juicy last night and there were only 26 players. BCP has regularly seen this kind of turnout at its 1:00 and 4:00 and the midnight BCP has been over 40. Maybe it's time to increase the BCP payout to $20 also, with a 90 point buy-in. What does everyone think?

I would pay the 90 points for a $20 pool. The fact that it is only $10 has been the deciding factor against joining it a few times for me (that is, if it had been $20, I probably would have played it). I still play the BCP tourneys sometimes, but would likely play them more for a bigger prize pool.

Well the 00:00 tournament has good #s.. I am going to increase that one..

But the other 2 don't have THAT great of #s..

They need to make it bigger then that why not make it 135 points with a 35$ prize that would be the best they do that for carbon cause it takes 8 months to cash out XD

What about a small increase on the other two, to $15? Just to see if it helps increase the turnout.

If you make the 2 afternoon BCP's $20, more people will join.

The biggest problem is that BCP doesn't have cheap tournaments - tough to build a roll winning 95 cents at a time

No question about it.. if I increased them to $100 even more would join.

The issue is, will ENOUGH join to at least break even.. At $10, no.. the late one does though

You've been here for 5 years and you've only won 53.50? Terrible...

How many people do you need to average for it to be worth a prize pool of 20?

That's why maybe we can try the afternoon ones at $15 with a 65 buy-in. I don't play Juicy that much but seeing last night's turnout of only 26 got me thinking...

If breaking even is a potential problem, then increasing the payouts to $20 (in the afternoon) & pricing them @ 90 points seems like a nice in-between. Perhaps the midnight freeroll could even be priced slightly higher. ($25-$35)

I actually rarely play in the Carbon tournaments because they are 1 2/3rds - ~ 4 times as expensive as all of the other freerolls, and Black Chip/Bovada/Juicy/Lock are very nice because of the smaller buy-ins.
