Party Shootouts

[Windbreaker]

For those that are into Shootouts, Party just introduced these. Looks like most of them are 3 or 4 rounds. Unlike the Poker Stars ones, the top 3 from each round get paid and move on to the next level. Your chip totals from each round accumulate and they add a nominal amount to each player in the next round. The amount they add to the stack depends on which round.

Looks like they already had a beta test with 529 players at a 5+1. (Which keeps me wondering why people continue to pay the 20% rake at party?)

these look fun, looking forward to hear from someone that has played them. I did the calculater for them and the payouts seem to cover your buy in if you make top 3 in 1st round and the rest is a freeroll after that.

I dont even understand what a "Shootout" is. Can anyone explain ?

So, the tables play down to 3 before the next round.

So, you could conceivably be waiting a while if your table shrinks to 3 first and some other dimdumbs are still playing huh?

Sounds insteresting enough, but i'd love to hear an analysis of the EV.
