.10 turbo 360 sng

Are these tournaments realistically profitable? If so is the omaha tourney better because less people know how to play omaha?

imo no

Meh.. you can turn 10 cents into 8 bucks, so i think its pretty profitable, if you can get 1st... Which is actually kinda hard cuz those are just donkaments.

I just stick to my $3 2-5 tables.

thats what I am saying hardly any skill involved even at the end since it is a turbo and a lot of variance comes in to play....coinflips ect. It is good roi if you win but its also good roi when you pay 1$ for a lottery ticket and win

might as well be a freeroll. probably would be a lot better if it was not a turbo, but 360 people is a big field for a turbo imo. trying to win a 10 seat turbo is hard enough

my girlfriend plays freerolls and if she gets lucky in the free rolls and wins some money she will play in these 10 cent tournys i watched her play 2 at one time and finished 1st and 2nd which is like $13 or something like that 20cents to $13 is definitely a profit even though she ended up losing all of it

so if you want to beat your head agaisnt the wall from all the bad beats then no not a good idea, but if you are the player that is always saying man i was way behind and i won...... then stay on the 10 cents and keep away from my stakes

well is 8.50 worth sitting for 2.5 hours then yes but is 3.40 an hour worth it thats not even min wage save up for a sng or small multi-table imo

IMO, the Omaha is worse because people play Hold'em-Omaha. Ohhhh 10 10 x x rainbow, let me shove preflop.

As for the .10 NL one...here's a nice sample of what you can run into...

I have no idea what a realistic MTT ROI% is, but assuming 30% (reasonable? no?) you're making 3c per tournament played.

i don't really like donkaments... srry not profitable imo.. you might make a few cents

FT ten cent rebuy

One of the "better than a free roll" posts on CC led me to the FT .10 rebuy everyday at 1735 Hrs. 1st pays about 300.00 dollars. After the rebuy period this was a fun tournament.
