I played the GUKPT main event weekend just gone, £1000 buy in and it was my first comp where someone has paid me in fully for 70% of me. Being the player I would never go above the 70% as anything less and my feeling towards the tourney wouldnt make it worth while.

You have to find a happy medium.
That is an interesting one alright Blatch. Motivation to play needs to be a big consideration, and 10% is going to have a big influence on that.

I also like the thought of series of MTT's, like this one of Samba

It lowers the variance that is so big by a large margin.
Couldn't agree more, that's why I try and stake players in more then one tournament wherever possible once I decide to back them. It was also the biggest reason I ran the STT stakes the way I did.
