I have just read one post about twister poker that gave me inspiration ,something i would like to share with mobbers.
i have played about 30 of them 1$ buy in on coral once prize poll was 20$ (i won that one ) but 90% of twisters iv played prizepoll was 2$ rearly 4$. (played 3,4 10$ each had just 20$ prize)
I believe .that Ipoker is mugging players here .
just think about it.
better play DoN -SnG and say f*ck you ipoker
i would like to hear yours experiences with twister 1000x buy in winns

How so? You are paying a small amount for a short SNG and sometimes you can win some prizes. I won $6 myself once after paying $1. I wonder how the prizes on the wheel are on the top buy in.

I think this is just another trick to make more profit, and you have to pay more than with another SnG on average. Always remember: unless you can compute it, don't use any strategies!!!

like i told playd 3,4 10$ twisters prize was just 20$ what happend to 10$? small ammoun but still bught in for 30$ total prizepool 60$ same as HUSNG
played arround 30 1$ buy in just once prize was 20 ,maby 2 times 4$
think u opend post that u did not get your prize money and that got me to ask my self is twister way to make money wit small investment or ipoker sites are mugging some serius cash from players.
dont need to be einstein to answer that .u can be sure if twisters are any good PS would have it.

no phi, its basically a poker with a twist, well just like its name suggest. the twist is, theres a bingo part attached to it. now i wouldnt mind it if it was ps type of bingo (golden sngs type) where you could win more, but no here you are basically guaranteed to win less than normal sngs.
There was a chart somewhere which shows how big majority of those tourneys will be min prize, with just 1 x1.000, per like 100.000 sngs. So while winning 2.000 with just $1 sng ticket sounds inviting, in practice it doesnt work quite that well
i played just a few to figure out in the long run its much more viable just to stick to normal sngs, with guaranteed prize pool instead of waiting to hit a bingo (which by the way, happens rather rarely, plus youll have to win it too). and nobody can guarantee you ur gonna win a hyper format sng, regardless of how good player you are.
so its a bingo + hyper sng with (usually) lower rewards compared to normal sngs. whats there not to like

From what I have played of them it has been quite soft and you are guaranteed to win a minimum of doubling up your BI for a very short amount of time. I know it is a lottery and a bingo but you can put in some good volume on it whereas normal SNG's you can win more but it takes longer, right? The wheel of fortune is fun as well.
Unless you can get fast 3 max normal SNG's somewhere else with bigger wins and I am just chatting some sheet?

i think twisters are quite good, even though i don't make much money overall there is always the chance of winning $100 or $1000 for a $1 buy in.Most of the time the prize is going to be $2. Another thing is that you get great practice for heads up play.

indeed, its a great chance to win 1k for just $1 !! In fact, if your chances to get that one were any better, it would be a steal. 1 in 20.000 to get either $1k or $200 and 2 in 20.000 to get $100 one make it really sng grinders friendly.
Easy money, just gotta hit that one in 20,000 which shouldnt be that hard really. With enough volume, lets say 250,000 of those per month you would surely have to get some higher multiplier twisters... maybe?

that is what im tryn to say + know that they take big portion of buy in for them self who can tell did they had 500$ buy and payed 500$ or they payed out just 250$ if u know what i mean

Well, I computed that you get a prize of $2,79 on average, so you pay $0,07 extra to make have a chance to win more or less.
It's just like a 7% rake/fee

How do you like them iPoker network?
BTW this is just a sort of SNG where on the long run the house always wins. You win some and you loose some, you win the ones where you could double or triple up your initial BI and you going to loose the ones where you could make some serious dough (or worst never going to reach those ones). Since these (with a nice prize) happen to be too rare compared to the ones where they offer you nickle and dime, they are robbing you blind.
I saw apples probability pic, but the thing is nobody going to inspect that they are really happening that way. They always hassle with the RNG and algorythm anyway, I'm not so sure this isn't just another way to mess with you.
