During that 1%, you will lose: ~$5 + ~$10 + ~$20 + ~$50 + ~$100 --> so like $200 after rake.

Also, you really have to being playing your absolute best game or a bad day of play can really compound on itself.

I guess all I'm saying here is to be careful to how you approach this if you want to try this. That's just my two cents. I'm sure you've thought about all this anyways tho.
This is why I do not play 6 or 9 handed SNGs like this. Fortunately for me my win % is much higher than 60% in HUs. I have yet to lose more than the first 2 before winning the third, but the possibilty does exist even if it unlikely. My theory is that this bad run could happen in any wagering system with detrimental effect, but I believe this strategy actually limits my exposure to variance.
