Changed to have second place continualy go up, and, a few other minor changes. [Note: Description not updated to reflect]
100 million buyins:
[Alt 1]
1) - 1. 100m
2) - 1. 200m
3) - 1. 300m
4) - 1. 400m
5) - 1. 425m 2. 75m
6) - 1. 500m 2. 100m
7) - 1. 575m 2. 125m
8) - 1. 600m 2. 150m 3. 50m
9) - 1. 625m 2. 175m 3. 100m
Personaly, doing it like this, I would like to see third come in for seven players. Start second palce out above at 50. It would look like this.]
1) - 1. 100m
2) - 1. 200m
3) - 1. 300m
4) - 1. 400m
5) - 1. 450m 2. 50m
6) - 1. 525m 2. 75m
7) - 1. 550m 2. 100m 3. 50m
8) - 1. 600m 2. 125m 3. 75m
9) - 1. 625m 2. 150m 3. 100m
Reasoning:
First place should earn a considerable bit.
This entire pattern, is, based around that theory.
However, also included, is, a reason to join larger games.
With the prospect of becoming very rich, or, not lossing too much.
1-4 are self explanitory.
At five, you notice that the pot doesn't go up too much (25m)
However - You have a fallout pot, if three players (60% of the game)
In the event you come in second (Chances are fairly high)
You regain MOST of your buyin, it's nice to have that confort.
After that. - The sixth pot, the first place goes up again
By a fair ammount (50 mil) and, the fallout pot increases to a gain.
So, sure, you may have to now eliminate more players (13% more)
You have the prospect, of, becoming slightly richer, or, hit first place
A rather large ammount more, it's a good win-win situation.
Now, at seven. Once again, first place pot goes up by 75m
Second place pot rises by a bit, 25m - Overall, this is a fairly good
"Two win" situation. Both first and second palce will be happy with a win.
Now, eight. Third pot gets introduced.
The second pot stays the same, first pot gets a bit more (25m)
Second place is still a geat fallout, and, included, is a nice
50 milliopn, third palce pot, to, give consoldance ot the fact that you lived
-While the other five was defeated.
Now, the last - First place pot rises quiet a bit, by 50m
Second pot contineus to stay the same, third place gets up to full return
ANd, first place, for winning this great game, is, very high.
[Patterns]
THIS IS NOT ARBITRARY!
Please notice:
When a new place is introduced -
That place first gets 75m
Then, next time, 50m
Then, 25.
then, none.
[Will all of the other part of it, gonig to first]
Now, that pattern continues when the third place is introduced.
First it gets 75m Then 50.
Rest, gonig to first, second, staying the same
Hope it helps out.
