no its pretty true at least it has been in my case, maybe I dont have enough of a sample size. I have about 15-25 logged, but yes I think a solid player can cash in these 50% of the time. Hell after 3rd blind level you are down to about 80 players, and if you double up a couple times you are there. The average chip stack that makes it to 18 is about 15k.

they also let you in with any hand very cheap, I usually run and suited connectors or gapped connectors from ANY POSITOIN becuase they think raising blind 2x is a good raise with AA or KK when the blinds are 10/20. And they will push all in on flop regardless of what it is thinking they have you trapped. Again my sample size may not be enough but from the ones I have played I have won 4, final tabled about 8 and maybe just cashed 4. I wouldnt play them if I didnt feel they are profitable, I havent played many latley except for last week when I took one down, I want to work on big MTT's and single table playing MTT's.


edit: I just realized what I wrote in origional post, what I meant was you could cash in 50% not final table. sorry for confusion.

I think if you played 1k of these a solid player could be expected to cash in at least 500 of them, which I dont believe to be true for MTT's but these I think are different.
