Got in a tournament tonight, really by accident. I was doing a transfer on Titan to friend, and noticed I had a free token to the Rio Jackpot sit n go's, worth around $20. The last day to play it was the 23rd (today!) so I went ahead and hopped in.
Ended up winning the thing, and felt very good about how it went. I didn't get the best cards in the world...never a hand better than JJ, but I did double up with the JJ giving me a good stack of chips. I was able to hit a few good flops and steal some chips along the way.
Word is, if you win 6 of these in a row, it's worth $25,000. Another guy in the same SNG who finished third, noted he had won 4 in a row. I actually hoped he would win, because I was in essence freerolling, and heck, it's always nice to see someone cash in on a big promotion. Well, obviously he didn't win... finished third.
Makes me wonder if one of the reasons I played pretty well was because I wasn't under any pressure? Actually pulling for another player? Odd.... --- Maybe shooting for second is the key to winning sit n go's? ;]
Disclaimer. Please don't take what I just said as legit strategy and lose your tail off, playing for 2nd play money. This is just a small ramble from an largely incoherent mind, after pulling an all nighter.

Hey,
I seem to play a little better when myself if the money invested isn't too important to me at the time.
I was reading some stuff by Mike Caro the other day, he says cheering for the other guy is a good thing anyways!
Hard to imagine that in most cases!
