Re: R7 Promotions: Bitcointalk Bounty Hunter Poker Tournament 1, 14:00, 02/02/2025
Hi everybody, memehunter and I know from some poker games in the past and now he told me I should join you. Here I am and as you can tell I am a fan of Antonio Esfandiari 
Looking forward to having some fun here.
memehunter I see that the distribution of the prize money is $70/$60 and $40/$30. If it is ok I would like to suggest $80/$60 $40/$20 because the prize money jumps are a bit bigger and it means there is something to play for as more players get knocked out. If someone makes it to the final four players, I think playing for only $10 is not a good incentive for the third finisher and the first finisher. This way finishing third is worth something and finishing first is worth something. But this is just a suggestion from me, you are the boss.

I think I will make an exception to the rule 9. of earning at least one merit.
I know a user @magician0_0 from many tournaments from DGbet and 1win. We have played a lot of games together. He has already sent the buy-in.
I am not adding him to the list yet as I am presenting this matter before you guys. If you want to oppose this decision or want to say something about the matter feel free to post within 3 hours time. If even a single one of you (from enrolled list) opposes, I will return his buy-in.
Fine by me. I would keep the original payout system though since there are also bounties and the first place already wins (at least) his and 2nd place's bounty making it minimum 90$ for first place including those bounties. This means the final HU definitely means something. So the original distribution or 70 60 40 30 makes total sense.
By the way, normally in bounty tournaments the 1st and 2nd place get the same price even. So separating them more makes no sense at all.
Yes, I will keep the original payout distribution.
Regarding blind structure though, I have decided to slightly change it. Blind will not be doubled after every 25 minutes as it will make you short-stacked quite early (realized this after having a discussion). New blinds wold be 100-200, 200-400, 400-600, 300-600, 400-800... with 22 minutes blind level and 10% bb ante for each level.
