Jackpot sngs like maui or fort knox.
Anybody got experience at these ?
You get 18k when you finish 1th five times in a row and $200 when you finish 1st or 2nd five times without a loss.
I got 50$ at the Tony G room and played the 5+1 Sngs!
sO I screwed up my first 2 by rivers.
I got 3 wins in a row and a few 2nd places(random)
But im pretty sure people here can easily get the five times in a row.
I normally play at party poker atm, and was thinking about the 6 step sngs there.
When you win 6 there you get 2k tops, and theres no actual price money for 1st 2nd 3th.. just the ticket for the next Sng. But these are so much harder because your playing an higher buy in for every further step
Well anyway everyone probly knows about Jp sngs already, but i just found out they are so profitable atleast if you play for low stakes.
So maybe they might be for others, and you might ofcourse win the 5 times.

The odds are tiny which is why the payouts are so nice but if I play a SnG at a site with this, I always play the jackpot SnGs because the fee is only marginally higher.
My best run is also 3 wins in a row and in the 4th I think I came 3rd. I think if I were in my 5th game and HU I'd offer the other guy $500 to chip dump to me!

I remember reading a couple of stories a while ago of people who won 5 in a row in Jackpot SNGs like these, and the sites gave them a hard time, claiming there was collusion because the same opponent was in more than one of the player's games (which the player said was a coincidence, and he didn't know the guy). So Geno, if you openly colluded like that in the software's chat I'm sure you'd get squat.

Winning five standard SnG's in a row is incredibly difficult, damn near impossible. Now, you can do it, but it requires getting extremely lucky. Even the best SnG players in the world would probably take over 1000 SnG's to get succeed, probably more.

5 in a row at any level is nearly impossible. I have managed to do 3 in a row once (18-seat $1.50's), but after playing several hundred of them. It's something where luck will play an extremely large role compared to skill.

This sounds like those step tourneys partypoker had.

Five seems to be the number to beat. I've won four in a row several times, never five.

Well if you did, maybe you should go for the
'Dirty Dozen' Jps they are 4 in a row for 2k.
But its probly as hard there because there two 6 handed tables.
Would be sick to loose heads on the 5th game @.@
