I saw these things and was curious how profitable they can be. Seems variance would be slim and non since top 3 get paid. However, seems only way to make any real money is to win...alot...

So im curious if its as/more profitable than full table SNGs

You can only play one table at pacific. But the players are much worse than on Party. It's basically casinopeople wandering in.

Been playing some super low limit 5 player SNGs on Crazy Poker (.75 + .25), and the 3rd place payout is .75, 2nd 1.18, 1st 1.87.
They go by super quick, and it's pretty easy so far to get in 3rd anyway, but that's a money loser. Really fun quick games (had one that was done in about 10 minutes) especially when your opponents are crazy.

Should be really good for low variance cheap learning, assuming you can get 3rd consistently, though I've noticed that the games are playing out a lot different than the 10 seated ones. Don't know about profit potential, the margins don't seem that great to me but if you won all the time on a higher limit I guess you could do well.

I play on pacific alot. The idea of these tournaments does appeal a bit. The rake is kinduv high though when you consider you pay the same to play a tournament half as big.
