2 dollar rush tourney, plus the double guarantee made this a pretty nice ROI. For those of you who aren't aware, Fulltilt is running double guarantee's on all of their guarantee tournaments, through Sunday I believe. They have peppered these with the previously mentioned 'JJProdigy' enhancement, which namely allows you to have multiple runners in the tournament. In this particular one, you could have up to 4, which I did take advantage of, and a fair number of rebuys, probably around 20 bucks total investment roughly.
I know I've seen some rumblings about the 'JJProdigy' enhancement on FT MTT's, but at least for this week, with the double guarantee's, you can play for a significant payday for a small buy-in. Tournaments I usually play that are $26 dollar buyin, and normally carry about 900 runners, with a top prize of say 6-7K, are getting ridiculous runners (4x), and with the added entries per runners, your getting some whopper of prize pools. Especially in the evening tournaments.
I would suggest however if your going to buy in multiple times, to look at the payout structure. When you only have 1 runner, and you make the money, you make a small profit. If you have multiple runners, and only one min cash's, you've lost money. So at least know per entries, where you would have to place to recover, but I suppose the real added value is that you are allowing yourself a change to go deep. Ask Shaun Deeb...who won last night's 1k, had 4 entries for a whopping 4k in buyins, but won the tourney and collected a cool 317K. Now there is a real ROI!
Get it while you can folks!

Edit: As I posted this, I noticed CK has a very nice, well thought through analysis of these tournaments. My comments are more of the 'high level' variety.

LOL. Thanks for the link. After I posted, I started scrolling through Google reader and got to your post. Will edit with a link back to you.
Congrats on the cash!
I think that it is great that they are doing the double guarantee. It can makes thing a little more interesting and It is better for people that they are starting in the business.
