I'm looking at playing either the 1.10 45 or 27 man turbos when i reload with $35. It's about 3.1% of my $35 which is well within proper 5% BR management.

So, on the two tournies, the 45 man pays 7 places out of 45, or 15.5%. It pays 31% to 1st (13.96) and 21.5% to 2nd place ($9) So the last 5 places combined get 47.5%

On the 27 man, it pays 5 places, or 18.5%. It pays 38% to 1st (10.27) and 26% to 2nd ($7), and the last 3 places combined get 36%.

So in my opinion the 27 man is the best bet. 18 less players, so less variance, higher percentage of players paid, and little real dollar difference between the 1st place pay of the 45 man to the 27.

But i want your opinion, the 27 or 45 man SNG?
