Absolute tourney 1 left till final table

[ChipFish]

I'm all for hand for hand.
Let's say they pay out top 48 and 53 are left sitting at tables like so:
9 persons 9 persons 8 Persons 9 Persons 9 Persons 9 Persons

Wouldn't you hate to not be playing hand for hand if you were at the 8 person table?

we all get why they do that but they where going hand in hand 4 spots before the money I guess thats kinda close but most systems with only 10 players left will wait till 7 at least (2 away from money) to go to hand to hand.

Why would you go hand to hand when there's only one table left?
