you have to have super patience to play those.... I've made final table several times an it pays good... remember... that tourney is gonna last 6 hours... or longer.... for a couple of hours only stay in when you know you're likely to win... and never go all in pre-flop with any donkeys

Last night I played one $1.1 sng of the double or nothing variety after midnight and I lost (on carbon).
I played five more of the same sng's today and I won each one.
For awhile there my bank roll had been taking a beating from my experiement with late registering at bigger tournaments.
My bankroll is now up to $26.46 and I am not sure what my vip points are because I used some of them to buy in to a sng.
I'm not going to be able to earn enough points to get to the first vip level and redeem the points for cash so I should probably use them before they expire.
I'm going to eat dinner in a little while and then I will grind out some more sng's on carbon, play me if you dare!
My poker user name on carbon is JosephHoodie.

I just played the $1k freeroll fury on carbon and I didn't go that great.
I finished 528 out of 1007.
I didn't even make it to the first break.
I played enough sng's today to get a ticket or coupon for the freeroll fury and my bankroll on carbon is $30.64.
One of my goals earlier in the month was to build my carbon bank roll up to at least $30 by the end of the month.
Now my goal is to win at least five dollars each week playing $1.1 double or nothing sngs on carbon.
My goal for the last week of freeroll fury is play in the freeroll fury on thursday and friday.
So I would have to earn another coupon before then.

Last night I played the freeroll fury and I don't think I made it to the first break.
Today I played the freeroll fury and I made it a little deeper, 207 out of 1012 and I think the top 179 get paid so I know I got a lot closer than last night.
Next month's promotion on carbon poker looks interesting and it looks cheaper to qualify for the freerolls.

i just finished the po freeroll and i came in tenth place.
so i won $0.90 so far tonight.

[Joe]

after the po freeroll i late registered for one of the big tournaments with a $1.1 buy in on carbon.
when I registered there were 80 people left and 9 minutes left in late registration.
before late reg ended there were about 90 people who had joined late like I did but they didn't last very long.
I finished outside of the money in 77th and only the top 76 get paid.
i found the late registration for this particular tournament very appealing because at the time that I registered there was only a few minutes left in late registration and there were 80 people left with the top 76 paid. so if i won one or two all-in or fold hands then I could sneak into the money, but the late registration strategy hasn't worked out for me so far.

Hard to argue with your logic in that situation. Keep trying whenever you get a similar setup.

Last night I played the daily mission freeroll and I finished outside of the money but I think I finished alot higher than I did on sunday. Also over the weekend I lost a bunch of the $1.1 double or nothing sng's that I had been playing for so long. On sunday night though I went through an upswing and won most of my money back playing the same double or nothings. I think I just need to be more patient, especially during the freerolls.
My results for the daily mission last night was 66th place out of 243 total entries, and the top 45 spots get paid. Sunday night when I played the daily mission I don't think I even made it past the first break.
I expect to get better results in these daily mission freerolls because so far there have been alot less people playing the tournament.
I know that the prize pool for the daily mission is much smaller but its also a lot easier to earn a ticket into the freeroll so I would expect more people to enter the freeroll.
