So I recently started making donations to this site again after like a year away….Honestly should have never left , I have zero issues with cash or tourneys, just my own greed as usual jumping stakes!

So I started playing some tourneys, did really OK in a $3.30 few days ago after being down to my last card more than once. As I recall, it was $500 guaranteed, but with ~ 360 buy-ins, purse was over $1K, ~$175 for 1st, 63 places paid starting at $5.15

Here is the issue! How in the world do we know when the pay jump is? If I am 48th/49 left, and all you tell me is 49th pays $5.15, WTF does that do ? As I recalled, it wasn’t until I reached roughly 25th that it went to $9.36, then ~ $13.25 for 17th or so, which I reached and busted out at

So is there any way to know when the next pay jump comes on PS, or are we just left to guess, estimate, and hope we get lucky ?

Thanks guys

OK I play mostly on the App on my new ipad 10, maybe this is the issue ? I just click on the white dot/exclamation mark thing, it gives hi/low/avg stack size, time to next level, but all it gives in terms of pay jump is the mincash or once the bubble comes, repetitively giving the next payout, which never changes until a jump

Hi again.

Afaik the only way to see it is to go back to the main lobby of the tournament u are playing. U can do so somewhere under the options that are available to u while on the table. I'm not familiar with the iphone app but it's probably the same like on Android.

They should definitely improve this.

I believe they are really concerned about improving the player experience to check tournament details like payjumps and other info.
Some days ago I have answered a research about stuff like this. You should contact them and inform your issue.

Thanks ….IKR? 888 has a whole chart constantly updated with entries /threshold, GG always updates it once you’ve passed the bubble , Partypoker too…..Just doesn’t make sense

I'm not sure how it works while playing on a phone or tablet... I always play off my computer.
Isn't there an icon like how it is on computer? (click on the HOUSE... and tournament lobby appears).
