Now that the blinds come around every five minutes, these might be worth playing. I haven't played on PS for awhile. Perhaps this is a reason to give them another chance.

Kadafi is saying that he cashes in 80% of his SNGs - that is an impressive record to say the least and was met with some skepticism.
He was asked to provide his screen name so we could verify this record on sharkscope, that records SNG performance. Kadafi006 is not listed on sharkscope.

They have had these double your money on william hill for a while now, 10 seater and six, never played the 10 seater but the 6 are very good, and they dont last that long very easy to cash.

Patience = Perseverance. Any patient player will cash the majority of the time in this style of play. I, personally, have never tried it out. I might have to.

the problem is that all players instantly becomes many degrees more patient when playing these. at reasonable stakes it's not quite as easy as you might think, because everyone know to play much closer to "correct" strategy in these than in normal SnGs. but players still make tons of dumb mistakes, from what i've seen

i tried one $109 double up and cashed it, ship it i guess

I have been playing these on Pokerroom for a few months now and they are very, very profitable. They run turbo ones with 3 minute blinds so all you need to do is win one hand, double up once and thn sit out, from there you will cash upto 90% of the time. So yeah I double up once close the table and start another one.

You'd probably be better off like 20 tabling $20 ones imo since probably most of the players won't really have a clue how to play.

Not a fan. It goes too slowly for my tastes. But honestly you only have to make it through 4 people and not be the low stack on the bubble.
If could can somehow communicate (obviously not but if you could) every time the short stack went all in on the bubble you could just have everyone call to give the all-inner a small chance of winning.

I was able to think about that a lot while everyone at my double or nothing Sitn'Go table was proceeding to avoid action like the plague

In my 5 dollar game that I honestly should ahve bubbled on....second short stack went all in....2 callers.....Now, he's on the bubble..if he goes out...it' sover...one of the callers actually made a bet into the other guy....and..the other guy folded....hahahaha luckily the guy who made the bet, flopped a straight. I just didn't understand WHY he bet out instead of just letting all 3 of them see the showdown.

Holy Crap. the people that played with me are so incredibly stupid.

6 people left. short stack has 270! and the blinds are 100/200. She goes all-in UTG..... AND IT'S FOLDED TO ME!!!!! I mean, I usually don't get upset at people being stupid, but c'mon, seriously?

Even the girl that went all in made fun of them and told them why they should've all called. Needless to say I am posting this bc I bubbled.... :(
