2nd place just means you"re the best loser.
Why would you want to be a loser?

I think what Neil is trying to say is by not having a payout structure which ladders it takes away some of the psychology of the situation and leads to people gambling cos there"s no extra jump in prizes

i see the point..u might as well come 9th if your gonna come 4th..surely then it becomes a gambling situation. one of the things i did wrong when i made the final table was to not adjust to the fact there was no ladder principle. I just then got short stacked and shoved in with rubbish!
as usual! :D

The prize structure is the worst thing about APAT imo, not that I"m gonna stop playing or anything but it could definitely be improved. If the FT is played optimally by everyone (Which I admit I wasn"t even close to in Walsall) then it should be a complete gamble fest, which given the deep stack nature of the weekend rather detracts from the brilliant blind structure.

It certainly influenced my play at last years final table. That and the knowledge I had a long drive home in some fairly awful conditions! No such pressure this time around - booked into the Future Inn for Sat and Sun night. A graduated payout structure at the final table would enhance play but would also contribute to a later finish than we already have with the current structure. As mentioned previously people do have day jobs - and the overall tourney structure is excellent for a £75 buy in.

I was talking to Annette a while back, and funnily enough this topic didn"t come up. Nor did Ivan Demidov, or in fact anything remotely related to this subject.
Actually I"ve completely forgotten what point I was going to make there.
