What do you think of these things?
I have won 3 sunday million buyins over the last 3 days ive played online poker.
I prob played in 10 so far and ive won 3. So for $111 ive won $645 in tourney buyins.
I like them because if you can make it to the second table you are almost guarenteed $35 for anywhere between 5-9th place and you win $215 for 1-4.
Compare that to 1st place in a $10 SnG where you win $45 for first place and I feel like this is a much better place to play.
Granted you dont get 2nd and 3rd place money at the first table in the shootout, but the chance to get $215 and pretty much guarenteed $35 for making the second table seems like a much better offer to me.
Any thoughts on this?
EDIT:
Just jinxed myself  Top 2 got buyins to the sunday million and i ended up coming in 3rd after 2 tuff losses. Guess I shouldnt have spoke so early  $35 kinda sucks when u were 1 hand away from a $215 win.

Glad you're winning. I've never had any success at all in these, and I personally find them a waste of money. I prefer rebuy satellites.

Ive kept some stats and for some reason the turbo tourney I do well in with the 5 minute blinds compared to the 15 mintue blind one. I guess its because I like to play really agressive when the blinds are up there and its 4-5 handed.

At another final table right now.
Top 3 get a seat, 5-9 $35.
My only problem is when I win something like this I "reward" myself and play in a tourney that is way outta my bankroll.
Example: $20 tourney last nite, $27+R for the EPT satellite tonite. I gotta stop that stuff.

Personally I don't really like these so much because well... it's hard to win an entire table before being guarenteed any money. I do however, no someone who plays them on a daily basis and has a nice sucsess rate at them.
