Anybody care to share their experiences? I've never played one of these but think it will be a nice mix to normal MTTs.

Lloyd,

They're pretty dang easy. The structure is nice and slow so you are definitely given the opportunity to win your first table. I've probably made the FT about 5 out of 15 or 20 tries. Once you make the final table, the play isn't usually that difficult. Overall, I'd say they're a steal as long as you have a good sense of the aggression needed to succeed in sngs.

Good luck.

Thanks. I've played a lot of SNGs over the past year and think that these could be a good combination of MTT/SNG skills. We'll see.

How do they compare to the level of play in the WSOP double shootouts?

Slightly better but not much. The play is still awful.

Where can I find these double shootouts on pokerstars? In which section of the lobby? I looked, just could not find them.

Yes, I'd be very interested. IM me sometime at TheBigWhatsUp on aim and we'll talk, I'll watch you play some and whatnot. We'll go from there.
