Pokerstars 10c $50 added is it worth it?

the MTT has about 2.5k entrants, it only costs 10c to enter, and top 500 get paid, however top 15 still only get $1, but if somehow i manage to make a top 5 finish i would be earning between $10 and $40? the downfall is of course its a turbo with 5 minute blinds which makes it less skill orientated and more card orientated
so my big question is, do you think its worth trying with a small bankroll? and what tactics would you best give for these types of MTTs (Turbo)

It's extra added value, how can it not be worth it?

Not sure why people seem to think turbos/hyper turbos are less skill orientated. Playing a shallow stack requires skill' if you're good at your end game, you will crush any turbo game because everyone is so terrible at them.

IF you have a small bankroll; then it's about as small of a MTT tournament you can get and you also have the extra added $$. If you are not profitable at MTT's though, then it might not be profitable of course. However; if you are profitable at MTT's then it's going to be better than playing a 10cent game with no added extra money of course as for obvious reasons of more dead money in this tournament. In terms of "worth it" in that sense of you might run good and the buy-in is so small that it can't really be bad.

If your bankroll is really tiny though and you're wanting to learn MTT's, then I'd probably suggest the 10cent/25cent SnG's 45man/90man etc as there is less chance of going bust.

my bankroll is currently sitting at $10, after building it from freerolls, im a MTT player though, so i know if i continue on the cash game route i will end up losing it stupidly (i tilt way too much in cash when things go bad)
and the comment about less skill orientated, wasnt a dig saying that skill isnt involved, but because the blinds come around so fast, and speed up so fast, your in push and shove mode a hell of a lot sooner, which takes blind stealing out of the equation, and means more 60 40 flips, which in the long run cant last, but obv knowing your push and shoves is a skill set in its own.

Well I built my roll from like $7 and started on exactly the 10c 360mans turbos then moved to the 25c 45/90 man tournaments and gradually moved up. As my bankroll increased I started adding the bigger field MTT's using a 200buy-in.

If I was you, I'd be grinding those games I'd mix in the 10c MTT too on the side whilst grinding but I wouldn't just play the $50 added game as the variance is to big and 100buy-ins just isn't enough for those games solely. This is assuming you are not wanting to deposit if you bust. If you can and want to deposit then sure, just play them but if you really are wanting to go for a no risk and very little chance of busting your roll, grind out the SnG MTT's until you build a $20-$30 roll and if you keep a 200buy-in rule for large field MTT's and 100+buy ins for the SNG MTT's; you'll find you'll never go bust. (Assuming you're a winning player) It wont' take more than a few days if you put in a ton of volume to triple your bankroll in those MTT SNG's.

thanks for the advice and yep im a winning player, 3 different sites i have a ROI of 120-150%, i just have never explored turbos before, 10 minute blinds is my comfort zone so any tips on how things change from those to turbos would be appreciated thanks

good trying to do with these tournaments bankroll, how special is that you have to play way too loose, and with a range of hands open more than normal, then the chances of recovery is not reaching very high

pardon? you dont have to play way too loose? from what i have seen, 4 opponents are willing to call a raise for a quarter of there stack with trash, so you raise your strong hands strongly, your prety much guarenteed to get action, and then Boom you double up, i believe the key is blind defence and proper button usage, but i have not yet figured the right raise sizes to minimize the field

LMAO ok, so proof of what i just said is here

i just had A A, and there was a limper from Early position, no way i wanted to take this 3 way, as i have 12BB
the villain had something like 7BB and the limper had 11BB

so i raised just over 3x pot was 1250, and i raised to 1400, the BB with 7BB flat called me, so of course no matter what flop comes im getting it all in, and limper folded.

so flop came Q 2 6 (rainbow), as stated no matter what comes up im putting him all in, the person then calls with J 10, turned a 9, and rivered a brick

so i double up and gotta be happy with the double up, but my point is, players are calling way too much in these things, so a tight image is definately needed, and then you loosen up the further into it you get, you have to loosen up once you reach 30-40BB, simply cus in 3 mins you would be down to 15-20 and so on, it means more races which are card orientated
and i can definately see where ramdeebam is coming from

Of course it is worth it. Even if your bankroll is 10$ i would still be trying to play those tourneys.

I played this tourney this is good to 50 dollar added.If you have small bankroll I offer 90 players mtt with 0,25 cents 15 minutes blinds.

Same as Ram.

If someone is building a BR why wouldn't you add it if you are playing anyways!

this is one of those 20% payout structures so I dunno i guess value is there with the 50$ added but I don't really like the idea of 20%

It is a nice $50 added, ofc its worth it! If you manage to get to final table you will have pretty cool ROI

mine is currently 165% ROI on pokerstars

for such a suit MTT bankroll with a small number of players. for example 45 or 90 for 25 cents
