Hey,
I took part at a 22$ Mistery Bounty game at pokerstars, part of the New Year Series.
I must say, huge and huge mistakes they have when it comes to the payouts.
Please, tell your opinion about it!

1st: Bubble - Trouble... Player A hit QQ and Player B hit AA. They went to preflop all-ins. Player B covers Player A, and eliminates the smaller stack. However!!! With the current hands the bubble was over, and player A even tho gone eliminated, still reached the money.
...Here's the twist, you should all pay attention, and Pokerstars just made itself a backdoor to runaway and not pay their players in this exact situation:
"In this tournament, Mystery Bounties can only be won once players are in the money. Good luck!" ...Which means, technically this player ended up in the money, so we were in the money, tho PS count it as a bubble's last party. Strange, huh?!
2nd: Disrespectful Winner Bounty... Right. The biggest bounty was 5K. And the first place gets 13.5K without bounty. You can check it, most of the times the 1st place's prize and the biggest ko achieved is very close to each other. Here... 270%. Insane percentage to the normal 1st prize. And the fact, that the biggest ko is drawned by luck(!!!) makes it disaster. The next biggest ko's were awarded to 2 players(!!!) 1K, which makes the percantage 1350%. It's insanely low, almost nothing. The next in the line, most casual prizes were 91.78$, so 4x to your buy-in. Well. Imagine you reach 1st from 11.133 players and your biggest bounties worthy 91.78$.
3rd: Underpayed Bounties... How can a bounty actually be underpaid? Well, the other two category were: 1.02$, 0.22$. Remember, the buy-in was 22$, you had to reach the money which is basically starting from your buy-in, and you just ko-d someone for cents. If you think it's a lie, let me show these pictures, telling everything.

I had fun, tho overthough it logically after went out, this whole pay-out system needs to be changed! Maybe post like these can help Pokerstars to improve and do these kind of tournaments with from another perspectives...
