    10 handed sng, top 5 payout a flat payout of double the buy-in. Example $200 buy-in, plays till 5 are left and all 5 all make $400.

    Your edge is going to suck if the competition isn't horrible. Make them winner take all.

    The reason people hate stars' tourney payouts is because such a big percentage of the players get paid, that's the problem with sngs and paying more people like the double up sngs makes it even worse.

    I too have been playing a good bit of these the last couple of weeks on Cake. I agree with you, i like them. There is a totally different strategy in these, and the play is extremely weak in them. Time will tell if they can be profitable in the long run.
