Yesterday, with thanks to a buddy, I found a little money making machine. The 70FFP 10-man winner takes all turbo SNG's found on pokerstars are absolutely beautiful if your in the buisness of making money.
The play is awful (see HH below) and the prize is a nice $11.
Thats a pretty good return. If you win one in five (very easily done) that gives $11 per 450FPP which = 2.5c per FPP (unless my calculation is wrong).
General strategy is like a SNG. Play super tight in the first rounds, but generally make your calling range a bit wider. Once your on the 3rd or 4th level you know who's shoving what range. The donks are obvious. Call them a lot wider. Remember it's all calculated using cEV so get it in ahead and you can't go wrong.
First hand:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 0 Tournament, 10/20 Blinds (10 handed)
Button (t1500)
SB (t1500)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
UTG+2 (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
Hero (MP3) (t1500)
CO (t1500)
Hero's M: 50.00
Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K♥, 2♠
1 fold, UTG+1 bets t199, UTG+2 raises to t1500 (All-In), MP1 calls t1500 (All-In), MP2 calls t1500 (All-In), 5 folds, UTG+1 calls t1301 (All-In)
Flop: (t6030) 9♥, 6♦, 4♥ (4 players, 4 all-in)
Turn: (t6030) 2♦ (4 players, 4 all-in)
River: (t6030) 10♥ (4 players, 4 all-in)
Total pot: t6030
Results:
UTG+1 had A♦, A♠ (one pair, Aces).
UTG+2 had 2♣, 7♠ (one pair, twos).
MP1 had 10♦, Q♣ (one pair, tens).
MP2 had J♠, K♠ (high card, King).
Outcome: UTG+1 won t6030
IMO this is a great use of FPP's (the less people that read this the better... we don't want the standard being high)
