Paradise STT's - 4 places paid - better value?

[robilaruk]

just noticed they are offer 4 pay 10 seat STT's on paradise 1st $41 2nd $29 3rd $19 4th $11 so 1st has taken a big hit compared to normal 50/30/20 payout structures and 4th gets your money back. So are these better value than standard tounry's? the bubble arrives earlier which is a plus if you are aggressive and the blinds should still be reasonable at this point allowing for some play (50/100 100/200 I would think) as I have noticed that because of the 8 min blinds the bubble in a stadard game (generally) has blinds at 200/400 300/600, so there is no play at all really. Are people who enter this 4 pay tourny doing so with a losing mentality? i.e. "I reckon i can scrape 4th and get my money back, so i can't lose coz i might get lucky" and if so how do you play against them to maximise EV? Just wondering Damo

Re: Paradise STT's - 4 places paid - better value? I have played a couple of these on the Boss network. I find if your aggressive enough you can bully yourself into a position where your gaurenteed 4th because people are desperate for the money. Not sure they fill up as quick as the other SnG's though. Certainly good value IMO as you only need to knock 5 people out to get your money back at least.
