Doubly sweet

I'm constantly on the lookout for poker sweet spots. Periodically, I find them, but none thus far have proven to be permanent. So, poker nomad that I am, I move on :-) There are many axes of sweetness; two of the most obvious are poker flavor and buy in. If you can hit the sweet spot on multiple axes at the same time, you're doing very well.

Although I've only played a tiny sample of sit and go 8-game tournaments at the $9,000 buy in level, this combination has the makings of a doubly sweet spot. Here are my place counts so far:

place    count(*)
1    3
2    4
3    1
5    2
6    1
count(*)
11

This translates to a profit of $70,900. I'm going to run the sample up to 100 tournaments (for a start) and see where I am when I get there. If I can keep up my current pace, my profit will be just shy of $645,000 at that point.
