- Booya SnG Challenge - $2k Anyone??

JimmyHo

This seems like a pretty good bonus for those forum members that like SnGs. If you can happen to win 5 SnGs in a row, you are entitled to receive a $2,000 bonus! Pretty good considering it applies to any SnG over $1 + $0.10. Here are the other bonuses available for SnGs (ends Jan. 31st):

Win 3 consecutive STT’s in a row and receive a $20 Bonus

Win 4 consecutive STT’s in a row and receive a $200 Bonus

Win 5 consecutive STT’s in a row and receive a $2,000 bonus

Place 1st or 2nd in 5 consecutive STT’s and receive $100

If you are able to cash out in any of the bonuses noted above, I would be interested to know how many SnGs it took you to achieve the resulting bonus and what level you were playing at, etc. Don't recall ever winning 5 SnGs in a row but placing in the top 2 is probably feasible. For you hardcore online players, this should be walk in the park. For the full terms and conditions, see link below:

During the Festive Frolics promo I won 3 $25 sngs in a row and finished 6th in a $1
Ok I was trying for an easy victory - the promo then required 4 in a row for $1000.

Great start, I started off 0 for 5. 3x $2, 1x$5, 1x$25.

started my quest last night: 1/1 in a $20 SnG; try to squeeze in another tonight (if the wife is in a good mood).... actually it was a 6 player tournament, so it didn't qualify... rats.... personally I hate the 9 player tournaments. Seem to rock the 6 player tournaments with in the money about 50% of the time.

Since you asked for numbers, I just updated my stats for Jan, so this what it took (to date):
Entry Fees: $1496.5
Avg Place 3.5
Win $2223
Net $726.5
48.5% ROI
52.8% ITM
11 - 1st
5 - 2nd
4 - 3rd
2 - 4th
5 - 5th
4 - 6th
4 - 7th
1 - 8th
0 - 9th

Total 36 sngs

I spent $149.65 in tourney fees to win a $20 (so far) bonus. lol. Good promo. At least my rakeback mitigates that somewhat.

Btw I suck at any sngs other than the Tribeca extended time sngs. It is all I play on Tribeca, no ring there at all and no sngs anywhere else.

I played 505 sngs last year for a 16.1% ROI and 40.7% ITM but it took me a while to figure out my best success was on Tribeca. When I sort by site, at Tribeca I played 185 sngs for 25.3% ROI and 49.2% ITM.

In total I spent $10780 on sngs last year. When I look at the #'s it seems staggering. At 10% in tourney fees, that is $1078 approx in rake just on sngs. Thank god for rakeback.

I did some more number crunching and found out that the only other time I won 3 in a row was last Dec, as I posted above, trying for the $1k bonus.

I've done:
five 3rd place finishes in a row once
four ITM's three times
four consecutive 1st or 2nds once, as part of a six tourney ITM run.

So I would say this promo is more difficult than I originally thought.

Maybe it's just me, but this type of bonus seems prone to collusion. Although maybe the site's actually fishing for colluders so they can seize their funds. Just my 2 cents.

Ok started an $11 sng on Tribeca Wed 10 pm.
1st big hand raised with AJ flopped top pr. Player dumps allin for 2x the pot, I call the obvious draw and hold up. 2nd in chips.
2nd big hand raised with AK flop top pr. 2 spades. Bet 2/3 pot, 1 caller, turn 3rd spade. Bet 1/4 pot, min raise - I fold.

You can rail from anywhere on Tribeca network - Doyle, Golden Palace, Booya etc. If you come by be careful what you say in the chat window.
