i've played in the 4.40 sngs won my first two easily. went on and won the 24+2 sng. played in the tier 3 69+6 sng and bubbled out 4th.
these are definetly beatable if you're good.
I will dedicate 50 bucks max from my roll to the 4.40 sngs. my goal is to win 10 $26 tokens then move on to tier two and win as many tier 3 tokens that i can.

has anyone played in any of these. Anymore information, I am thinking about signing up with FTP for all the cool tourneys

All i know is that the SNGs at FTP are very, VERY beatable. I have a small sample size but I think i have a ROI of 170%+ over the 40 or so i've played at FTP..

I am going to take a shot at them tomorrow and I will let you guys know how it turns out

I just deposited $50 into FTP last night, going to play the $4.40s until the money runs out and collect as many $26 tokens as I can. Once the cash is gone, I'll play through the $26s until those tokens run out, and then move onto the $75s and play those until those tokens run out. And then I'll see how much cash I have on that $50 investment. It might take a week or two, but I'll let you know my final result.

First night, I played two $4.40s, won one $26 token.

So my score:
1 $26 token.
$41.20 cash.

I put $40 into it and walked away with 3 $26 tokens.

Now I need to figure out if I'd rather use those to play the big guarantee tourneys or hit the S&G tiers.

I used one of them already on the $14k guarantee this past Saturday. I'm proud to say that I was the chip leader (double the next guy) at the 2nd break, but not so proud to say lost it all within 15 minutes of hitting the money. I learned a lot in that tourney though, and I'm confident that if I can be near the chip lead at the bubble, I can make it to the final table.

Hmm.... decisions, decisions...

Two more $4.40 Tier One SnGs last night. It was a night of suckouts, and I lost both.

Score:
1 $26 token
$32.40 cash

Bagged another token Wednesday p.m. into this a.m. A comeback victory, got behind but kept my head above water long enough to get into a long, well-played three-handed match. We all traded chips back and forth for quite awhile until I called a miniraise from the big blind with T9 offsuit and hit a sweet flop of 99T. That crippled one guy who kept betting into me (I couldn't get him all-in on the river) and hurt the other guy. Went into heads-up about even-stacked, but the guy was passive and let me have my way.

6 $4.40 entries
2 $26 tokens
$23.60 cash.

Guess that's a 33% ITM, 51% ROI -- not bad when only two places pay out of nine seats.

Don't know if anyone's reading this or not, but I started it, so ...

Played two more just now, a first and a second.

Built a huge chip lead late in the first one by taking a short stack out and severely crippling the big stack when I flopped a flush. Short stack was all-in before the flop, and the big stack also flopped a flush, but a baby one. I didn't have the nuts, A on the board, I had QJ. I went all-in to prevent getting nailed with another diamond with him holding the K. When he called, though, I was sure he had it. But he showed 85 or something like that.

Anyway, that left us with three players, I had 10,000-plus chips and the other two had somewhere around 1,200 each, so I just went all-in on every hand until I knocked them both out.

The second one, got heads-up about even in chips. I took a few of his chips on the first few hands, on about the sixth one, I had 98s, flop came 9TJ with one of my suit. I bet, he raised all-in and I went. He had a J and it held up, he took me out a couple of hands later.

Here's the score:
8 $4.40 entries
3 $26 tokens
$24.80 cash (got $10 for the second place).

Phish can you use the tokens for regular tournies?

Yes, you can use the $24+2 and $69+6 tokens for any tournies that match the buy-in value.

A quick update:

I've played 15 of those $4.40s now. I've placed in the last four I've played -- two firsts and two seconds. Just about the time I get down to only having enough cash left for one more, I nail a second-place finish for $10 in cash to give me enough to play a couple more.

These things are really a piece of cake if you play solid poker. Usually only about half the field is left when the blinds are still at 25/50, and people will call you down with stuff like a low pocket pair with four overcards on the board.

In one I played this morning, there were four of us left. I had about 1100 in chips with blinds at 50/100, and the other three were bunched with around 3,000 each. I caught a 44 UTG+1 and decided to go for it, guessing that neither of the other three would want to call with them so bunched together.

UTG raised to 350 and I pushed. SB folded, and BB called my all-in, and UTG folded. He showed KJ. KJ??????? My 4s held up, and I took the lead and KJ was crippled. I ended up taking second place in this one.

Anyway, here's my score:

15 entries
5 $26 tokens
$17.70 in cash
That's $147.70 total on my initial $50 investment (I added $2.50 in cash hitting a milestone on my $25 deposit bonus).
