Hey guys. Just wanted to know how many ppl have tried these sng`s. I`ve been having great success with these of these over the past few days with an roi of 60%. All you half to do is get half the feild gone {five } and your automatically Itmed to get at least your buy-in back. You get a extra payment for the amount of chips that you collect as well. Pretty good deal.

I didn't think these was very good value for money at all.

For one, you only get your buy-in back (not including the rake paid) for hitting the top 5(so in theory you could actually be DOWN in money for WINNING), so basically your betting $1.00 to get your $1.00 back...I can't see how this is great value for money! Then, to actually turn over a decent amount you have to have the largest stack at the table and by far to make a decent ROI.

I personally don't think they are very good.

Have not seen this...thanks, and will check into it and give feedback later. Sounds similar to the DON. GL, Wally

Yea I played a few of these after the DoN were discontinued, and decided I was better off going back to normal STTs. DoNs at least when you got in the top 5 you just about doubled your buyin, but with these you need to have about ~4k when the 6th person in KOd to double your buyin.

I didn't get the appeal of these, basically you should play it pretty much like a normal STT, trying to accumulate all the chips, but you cannot win as much as a normal STT.

ROI of 60% over how many games is the real question?

In response to your question ,I have won eight outright,4 seconds,3 thirds, two fourth place finishes,and five 5th place finishes. I have played a total of thirty eight so far with a net gain of $64.73 after my buy-in fees. I`m still just playing the cheepies.My poker Stars account was diminished conciderably ,as I traded for full tilt dollars. I`m now trying to rebuild my br there via these. So cashing{itming } in twenty-two out of thirty-eight isn`t too shabby.

Personally, I dislike these, although I've only played 3. In all three cases, at least three people played one hand and then sat out the rest of the tournament, guaranteeing them a cash. This is not illegal but I don't care to donate to those kinds of people, so I don't play them any more. I also don't like the structure at all. I would rather they have introduced some .50 STTs instead.

These fast 50 game r more flashier than DON, it take a little more effort than DON in which every chips you have get you more money when your the last 5 survivor. You got to actually show a little skills instead of folded every hand. I was disappointing when DON was remove for fast 50, but now I see why it was remove.

This is an interesting type of SNG. Although very easy to win, the profit margin is far from outstanding.

I rather think they're fun. I watched so higher stakes 50-50 and they winners were making double their buy-ins with a little effort to accumulate chips. i believe at the $1.10 dollar buy -in you get .06 for every 100 chips. So for accumlating 4000 chip you win $ 2.40 + 1.00= $3.40. A good deal in my book.

sorry it .03 for 100 chips so 4000 chips will lead to $1.20 +$1.00
