The split Pokr Club suggests for 9 players, each prize rounded down to the dollar with the leftover to 1st.
Settling up
The fewest payments: the host is the bank. Everyone pays the host at the door (9 payments, $180), and the host pays the 3 places at the end. Collected $180, paying out $180, balance $0.
Questions
- How many places should a home tournament pay?
- The calculator uses the split Pokr Club suggests: winner takes all up to three players, two places up to six, three up to ten, four up to twenty, and about one in five above that.
- How are the prizes rounded?
- Each place is rounded down to the whole dollar, and whatever is left over goes to 1st, so the prizes always add up to the pool.
- Do rebuys go into the pool?
- Yes. Each rebuy adds one buy-in to the prize pool.
- How do bounties work?
- With bounties on, each player pays the bounty on top of the buy-in. Whoever knocks a player out collects that player's bounty. The bounty pool is separate from the prize pool.
- What is the easiest way to settle up?
- Make the host the bank: everyone pays the host at the door, and the host pays the winners at the end. Nobody has to pay anybody else.
