this would mean all the round 1 winners would break even for the tournament and then just fighting for the cash.
Nah, I mean, its not a TERRIBLE idea but I'm playing a tournament to get 1st and I would feel cheated playing only to get $25 knowing that guys that got knocked out in the 2nd round are still getting moniez that should MINE .

With a 50/30/20 payout (assuming $5 BI) it would go $40/$24/$16 which is a lot more fair. Everyone gets a decent sum for making it as far as they did. We could even make it 40/25/15 to make it even lol.

And iopq, this is supposed to be a NOOB HU tournament lol, most of us can't afford $25+ BI's imo, although I do agree that $1 is too low. I like the sound of a $5 BI but $10 wouldn't be unreasonable.

Also, I read on the other HU tournament thread that they were going to play 1/2 HU with play money on Pokerstars, so I naturally assumed that there were HU tables lol. My mistake. New system imo.

Suggestions?
