opinion on flatter payout structures........

i was just wondering what people think of the idea of flatter payout structures. the frist tournament i've seen this in was the just completed WPT season 3 championship where they paid out the top 100 out of approximately 450 runners. This is a significantly higher payout percentage than usually seen in tourneys (9-11% of runners). what do people think of this? im honestly in favour of it, although i know many people are opposed to it.

    in many ways the top prizes haven't diminished but the insanely deep fields filled with so much dead money, provide for the oppurtunity to give lots of people who entered a near break-even experience. In reality though for many if not most who may get there through an online satellite or live satellite, even a break-evenish payout of $30,000 for 100th spot in a $25,000 buy-in event is a huge payday.

    I think 100/450 is way too many payouts -- I like to see roughly 10% of the field getting paid.
