5 person SnG's on PokerRoom (top 2 get $)

I just discovered the 5 person $10+1 SnG on PokerRoom last night. Only played 2 (didn't place in either, no bad beat stories here [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] )

Anyway the payout is the top 2. That's a 40% chance that you will make a profit, pretty nice. I'm not sure what the payout is 66%/33% or 60%/40% because I didn't win anything but these games seem to be very fast and pretty fun.

Anyone else play these?

I found out it's 70%/30% so for $10+1 you can win $35 & $15.

Do you think that playing an SnG starting with a short table is a bad idea (5-6 handed)?

Stars has the 6 person 12/1's that are pretty fun.

65/35, low rake

Damn finally won one. Two losses and one 1st. Total profit of $2 lol. They are fun though, short and sweet.

I played a couple, and in my own opinion, they aren't worth the time. The regular SNGs there aren't much harder to beat and the payouts are better.

I love them.. On a pure money view, they probably aren't as good, but they are a lot more fun to play. Allows you to actually open up and play some poker instead of sitting back and being really tight..

Played about 20 tonight playing 4 at a time. Was in the money over 10 times. Was a great time, and I made some decent money.
