MickyP"s "last longer" bets are usually for drink. Can I assume Stuart that you are owed too?
Better bring your bank cards to Dublin Micky - there"s a queue forming ... ;)
FWIW, I agree that the last longer bet (which currently sits at around £70) should be claimed by player closest to 15th position if the Real Prize Cash (not Stake Returned Cash) starts at 14th. I signed up when it was "outside the points" so whatever he decides - as long as it"s agreed before "Shuffle Up and Deal!" - is fine by me.

It was agreed on page one of the thread...actually, post one of the thread.
It took until page 3 until anyone actually questioned it, and I still haven"t heard a good reason to change it.

Here is a reason to keep it as it is: play to win!
If you do reach position #19 and are short, play your best game instead of trying to get the $150-200. Last year I had 2 or 3 BBs left around this stage and simply kept playing as well as I can. I ended up winning it. As long as you"re in, you"re not out. And as long as you"re not out, you always have a chance to win.
Mind you, I would like it a lot if ye all will donate your stacks to me simply because #19 pays more than #18. lol

Can"t argue with that opinion from the champ.
I totally agree.

Surley the potential for 25th place getting paid $150-$200 and 18th getting nothing is a good reason to change it.
The last place to get paid (with or without the alternates) is both clear and senseable.
p.s. most times I"ve played in a national there have been less than 4 alternates.

I believe the max number of alternates so far this season has been 3.
2 alternates has been the popular number so far....
