Three tales from the felt including PokerStars changing their online tournament payout structure; Celina Lin winning another Macau event, and Muskan Sethi joining Global Poker League India.
PokerStars is back to its testing, tweaking best.
Earlier today, Mike Jones, Poker Operations Manager for PokerStars, penned a blog post titled: Paying More Places: The Evolution of PokerStars Online Tournament Payouts in which he outlined plans to increase the number of ITM cashes.
Jones began his post by reminding people that the standard payouts for online tournaments circa 2002 – 2006 was 10% of the field, taking a line out of the brick and mortar playbook. But over time Jones and his colleagues felt the system was flawed and set out to remedy the situation.
