Have any of you been playing the $1 Jackpot SnG's on Full Tilt lately? Between yesterday & today, I played 28. Guess how many were for the minimum $2 prizepool?
28, Every single one, that's 100% as opposed to the expected 72.5%. Now of course I realise that 28 is a very limited sample size, but I don't fancy building up a bigger sample at my current rate of 100% minimum prizepool games.
I've also clicked on the observe table button a few times & i've seen many $4 & $6 tables, which I thought was quite unusual for the highest game to be quite so low.
So I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience on Full Tilt lately?
Or is it just my famously bad luck & paranoia over a tiny sample?

too small of a sample,

grind a few thousand of them and get back to us on your results :)

good luck

That's obviously some bad luck of yours, but Jackpot sng's are so not worth to play. Yes, it looks appealing and seems like easy money, but it's not, when majority of the time, could be 28 times of 28, three players pay $1, and only $2 goes back to the winner. There's $1 rake for $3 game. At least I try to stay away from jackpot sng's.

Ahh I know this really, just had to have my two cents!... I'm gonna stop crying now & get back to playing cards!

Again, I know you're right too, but it's just so easy to jump into a, generally quite soft, game... I generally try to avoid them myself, but every now & then I get a mad notion. I reckon I've give them a swerve for another while again... Until my next bright idea anyway. :D

These "jackpot" sngs are very high variance games. These can very easily break the bankroll!

You need a bigger sample size i played roughly 2000 in a 5 day span biggest one i hit was a 100X multiplier at the $2 buy in playing mostly 1 2 and 5 buy ins wanted deal but no deal finished in 3rd try playing two at once GL.
