The beauty of the Metrocard club system is why they committed to is a reasonable buy-in that can make a huge impact later on the game, A reasonable buy-in affects payout significantly. The minimum payout usually is 1.5 times to 2 times the buy-in of a tournament. A lower buy-in tournament usually signifies a lower payout. In some cases, if the buy-in is too low it will not even cover the basic cost of the player.

A huge factor to consider as well, a low buy-in tournament may significantly draw a huge number of players. However, as the payout is structured to pay 8-10% of the field. A huge portion of the pot is allocated to a huge number of players while significantly as the practice to have the top players received a higher pot. The players that finish in the middle often times feels neglected and wasted their time and effort in participating.
The players that finished in the middle bracket which are oftentimes the biggest in numbers of participants should be considered. It is a very significant number and although by having a huge prize if they finished on top. Realistically speaking the players must be able to maintain a bankroll in order to participate again. A constant minimum income can drain them and would not be able to be more active.
This is a very important key factor to consider in making a tournament. Including giving them reasonable starting stack to play with. Metrocard club tries to place itself in the middle answering both the calls of players wanting to have a big payout, players wanting the buy-in to be reasonable and players who must sustain their poker bankroll.
