I like double or nothing tournaments for 10 players with buy in 1,1 eur and first 5 players win 2 eur. But only few people play this type and I had to wait 1 hour for 9 players to this Sit and Go with me, so I don't play it any more.
You are not limited to play EUR tournaments only. You can convert from one currency to another as many times as you want. There are similar USD tourneys (they are called
Fifty50) and they fill MUCH faster. Five surviving players receive their money back (without tournament fee). Rest of the money is split proportionally to the number of chips. For example, you play $1.50 ($1.35 + $0.15) tournament:
- if you barely survive (with only 100 chips left), you'll receive $1.35 + $0.04 = $1.39, a 11c (7.33%) loss
- if you have 1000 chips (which is also a poor result), you'll receive $1.35 + $0.40 = $1.75, a 25c (16.66%) profit
- if you have 3000 chips (which is an average stack) you'll receive $1.35 + $1.20 = $2.55, a $1.05 (70%) profit
