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

Default Noble SNG's rock

Ive been playing the million $ challenge ones off and on the last week. I dabbled with the Rio's and Maui's as well, winning both of those promotions runner up prizes (300 and 200 dollars respectively).

I know you cant clear bonus' (bonii? ) with tournament play, but i got an email from noble a couple days ago saying they put 10 bucks in my account, just for playing so many damn tournaments. Other than the long cashout times, I freakin' love this site!

well speak of these, I just played in one and was dealt KK the first hand. UTG raised from 10 to 20. One caller, I push it up to 120. UTG moves in, caller folds, I know exactly what he has and call anyway. KK vs AA yup

The sick thing is a King flopped.... and so did an Ace!

Quickest 33 bucks Ive ever wasted lol

Ok lets try again
