On some pokerrooms you have a sit n go called Double Your Money!!! This means 10 people sit n go and top5 get payed 2 times their buyin. So $5 + $0,50 and you get in top5 you earn $10! I think this would be a great way to spice up your bankroll just play tight agressive and 65%/70% you get in top5 i think!

Most fun is when 5 players eliminated, then tourney goes on although everybody is allready in the money, then allmost everybody go allin with every cards and it ends with 1minute

The only downside is that with 6,7 people left and a real big stack you dont have to play cos you probably get in the money so then people dont risk anything and its more tight then normal sit n go cos you're playing for top5 not to be 1st... But thats poker

At some pokerrooms you can pay the fee with points so $5 + $0,50 wud be $5 + 10points or sometin so in fact you dont pay any fee And offcourse after finishing you get points for starting the sit n go yeah life is wonderfull
------------ I think it wud be a great sit n go for every pokerroom but not much pokerrooms have the sit n go's, also in combination with paying fees in points. I think you can expecting much more playing traffic so pokerrooms lets do it!!!!!!!!

i think these tourneys sound rubbish. all tight play is no fun. 6 ppl must last ages. and 2nd or 3rd positon may as well fold Ks unless their knocking a really small stack out. ud get absolutley nothin extra if you work hard to knock ppl out. plus i think a double up is rubbish for any tourney. its not worth the effort. you'd have to play and win loads to get anywhere and i would imagine in cases where u have to wait for cards to make a move, a lot would come down to luck. the soloution i spose would be to raise the blinds v quickly to prevent ppl from playin too tight. its just my opinion but im surprised everyone else seems so keen on the idea.

Your right awood88 its a little bit different poker then other sit n go but if you can make money with this kind of sit n go why dont you do it? I was allways told to find the fishes and this is also a kind of fish dont you think? But your right these sit n go's are little bit boring
Yeah, if we could have this type of Sit & Gos like these at Full Tilt Poker would be nice. If they are turbo games it would definitely be better Great idea

Its sounds a lot better than a headups match. I never heard of it but I think its a good idea.Would be a good idea if sng ends when 5 players are left but doesnt really matter.

i noticed this this format as it is new on PKR (i somehow like PKR ) and have to try it soon!!! if you play patient you should be able to to make a steady plus there if you ask me
or if the others get impatient, what happens a lot on PKR in my experience
more interesting..Doomdoy..thank you for this notice but i prefer play with traditional roules. or the sng where the winner take all.. there is more risk but it is also more emotional
