You beat me to it. The STT forum has something new to talk about. I'll be there this evening.

Meh...1/13000 chance maybe for a very good player? I dunno. I wouldn't play them any differently anyway.

Meh.

i won 7 in a row at the $15+1 turbos on stars, it's "possible"

and i've only played 650 of those

[TStokes]

I have played under 700 and have won 5 in a row once and 4 in a row on another occassion.

Doesnt matter, once you play the software, you'll quit after 5 games, let alone 5 wins.

Worst. Software. Ever.

Yes of course it's possible. The point was that even if you're killing the game, you shouldn't expect to win 5 in a row, even after several thousand SnGs. It's incredibly unlikely for any given player. Think about it like the badbeat jackpot.

First off, aren't those 6 max games? Way to compare apples and oranges. (EDIT: Closer inspection on my part reveals confusion between these and actual 6 handed games, so my apologies.)

Secondly, who's arguing that it's impossible? Nobody that I see. All I'm saying is that I think it's sufficiently improbable that winning players at the 20s in up probably aren't gaining anything by going to play there instead.

Ditto, got 4 1sts in a row, never 5 though.

I think winning 5 in a row is very possible for a very good player single tabling. This jackpot makes me very scared. It doesn't seem incredibly difficult to do. So why would they risk giving away 15k??? Weird.

For a very good player I guess you're getting $1 from the bonus (if you can count on them offering it for long enough for you to get in anywhere close to enough STTs to have a real shot at it)...

The question is. Why would the very good STT players play thousands and thousands of these when they could play higher stakes?!?!

I *highly* doubt that anyone is caught in *that* much of a money trap.
