the 5%

[reaper1569]

who thinks that the 5% take off if you have over 500000 is a bad idea that means the more we have the more we have got to wi its not fair why cant it not be a lower percentage like 2%
or
why doesnt it not be for players with a high amount of chips like 15 million or 10 million why doesthe players who r playin every day have to suffer???
who elsethinks its unfair

If you search the forum, lots and lots of threads about this subject will pop up.

The 5% debate has been going on for sometime now.
they are trying to keep the top list fair for everybody.
it is encourageing you to play bigger tables when you reach that level.
it is fair and it isn't going away so you will have to learn to play with.
the players with less than 100000 get 5% added to theres so works both ways.

I think the only thing that would make it fair would to lower the deduction to 2% or keep the 5% raise all the way to 500k.

This was asked in a previous thread. BlackLava explained that the %5 was raised from 100,000 to 500,000. He does not plan to raise again it any time soon.

Formula:

(Every time a new player reaches 500k or is near to it) x 0.66 = number of new posts on the topic

anyone who takes any chips off me 20%
anyone else 10%
anyone who has BOUNTY and HUNTER in there name add 100%

seems fair to me

Who gave this thread a 5 star rating ????
I've just given it a 1 star and the average has dropped to 3 stars.
I can't belive there is anyone out there who thought it was an excellent thread.

The 5% reduction works and is a good thing, how many of the chip leaders do you see complaining about it, none, and they are the ones who have to suffer the biggest penalties.

Anyone who doesn't like the deduction, either stay below 500k, or grow up and play better poker.
