Man, I am so bummed you didn't make it to the end...I twice you chipped up to top 3-4. I was so sure it was going to be your night.

I was chip lead with 20 left after that huge ass Omaha scoop. It sucks I didn't cash but it took some guy getting lucky to knock me out. I am going to have to play this again some time, it just pays out so top heavy!! I mean it pays 4 of 32.

that's pretty much the norm though....one place per table...

Actually most of the 9 player per table SNG's on pokerstars pays 2 spots and an additional spot per table (1 table = 3 spots, 5 tables = 7 spots). If this was a traditional 4 table tourney (36 players) then it should have paid 6 spots, but since it only had 32 players it could have been treated as a 3 table and only paid 5. Either case it was still top heavy.

I was just thinking about what they do up the hill.....generally if they have 70 people they will pay 7 spots....

and since this was HORSE which is played 8 handed, I was thinking that 4 people was about right for 4 tables...

Yeah, I'm not sure if HORSE tourneys follow traditional pay-out structures of Hold em and Omaha. I guess on pokerstars they don't.
