Less is more

I had another slave wages experience last night. I hit the 95th percentile, but only made a small profit, getting just 1.26% of the prize pool. That got me wondering how that 95th percentile finish stacked up against all my other such finishes. As it turned out, it had the 6th worst prize pool percentage. The worst was .43% and the best was a whopping 18.5%. Looking at the numbers, I discovered an interesting fact - the fewer the number of entries, the greater the prize pool percentage. A fine illustration of the old adage that less is more :-)
