That was the third one of these tournaments Ive played in. Ive placed 2nd twice and I won once, so Ive hit the money everytime thus far. (even though for 2nd place the 'money' is only a 21 dollar profit)
I kind of like it bc its a faster SnG that a full table one -- and first place isn't much less, since 3rd doesnt get paid out, so your profit for 1st place is almost the same.... if you have one to two idiots at the table, it makes it even easier, although you can get faced with a situation like I did, being down to the last 2 at a significant chip disadvantage. That was why I called the all in with KJ though, one double up and its back to even -- and at 20/40 blinds no normal raise Im gong to make it going to scare him with 4500 chips.
And TP I definately could of sat out into the money (and I would of had chips in the 900s not 1500 so it wouldnt of made a huge difference anyway lol). The nasty thing is Noble blinds go up every 7 minutes, not 10. So this tournament was under 15 minutes.
I may mess around with these a bit more often -- only thing that sucks is tournament play doesnt count toward your bonus
