Its definately an all or nothing type of thing for me. I agree, unless you finish top 5-7, its kind of a waste of time. I've played in three of them, and have went in with a very aggressive approach hoping for top 3 or a quick painless death. Ive finished 20 (two spots out of the money), 60ish, and 100ish. Nice return if you can win one though. I really wish (and hope they are headed for) they would run capped tourneys at more like 500 or so people. Big enough for a nice return, but small enough where it is not a crapshoot. I know smaller sites have smaller tourneys, but I really don't like playing on multiple sites at a time. I hate having to re-introduce myself to new interfaces all the time, plus I think Stars blind structures are a great balance between time issues and skillful play. Rewards skill a little more than other sites without making you want to kill yourself out of boredom.
