You guys on a budget who want in a $216
 
This sounds like a bit of work, but if it wasn't easy I wouldn't bother posting about it.

At Full Tilt the run 18 player SNG's for 6.60 and 8.80. In the 6.60 game the first 4 places get a "$26 Satellite Token" 5th gets a few dollars, in the 8.80 game 5 players get a token and 6th gets a few dollars.

You can use the token to play in a $24+2 satty to the $216 game that, depending on the time of day draws less than 50 people and there is one seat for every 9 players and usually 3 or 4 places get the leftover odd cash.

These 18 player games are EASY, I am 7 for 8 getting a token in these games.

So far I have finished on the bubble twice in the bigger satty and got small cash three times. The other two tokens I used in a $24+2 regular tournament (which they let you do, they even call them TOKEN games, but you can buy in with cash as well).

In any event if you are decent at SNG's at all this is a cheap way into the $216 game at Full Tilt, I WILL WIN A SEAT to this Sundays game, book it!

Wow, that does sound pretty easy. Maybe I'll spend my full tilt cash that way, as all their other games suck ass.

Penguinfan 06-13-06 05:07 PM

Yea, not much in the way of action there.

It's easier doing this than trying to get through one of those $3 rebuy games at Stars. Of course you don't get the million dollar tourney for your $200 entry, but what are the chances of getting through that 6000 player field anyway?

I may have to go sign up there.

Gonna toss me some "bonus" $$$ to go through your link TP?

Talking Poker 06-13-06 06:29 PM

I'll see what I can do, but chances are: Yes.

asshat, its PRINT IT:D


Ive seen these, was 3/3 in the turbos $8.80 satty, ans 3/3 in losses in the token MTTs

studiopet 06-13-06 06:38 PM

I was thinking of signing up tonite but I'll hold off need be.

BrianSwa 06-13-06 06:39 PM





you called someone a asshat now thats kinda funny. Thats your one this week.

Talking Poker 06-13-06 06:42 PM

No need. You can do it now... just PM me with your details afterwards and when I confirm with FT, I'll toss you some dough. It's not loads, but I think I can do in the $30 neighborhood.

Penguinfan 06-18-06 01:56 PM

Now 15 for 19 winning a satellite token, 0 for 12 winning a seat with it though, picked up $48 for catching the bubble twice and used two others in cash tourneys with no luck. I have one token left, which I will use soon as a last ditch effort to get my $216 seat.

So I am actually in the hole $117, not counting the token I still have, maybe this was not such a good idea?????????

eejit101 06-18-06 02:28 PM

lol, your looking at it the wrong way.

Its like a cash SnG, you won $26 each time, your just not counting it up the right way.

Penguinfan 06-18-06 02:48 PM

It must be the math where you live thats different from where I live because -117 is -117 no matter how figure it.

studiopet 06-18-06 03:57 PM

I played my first 8 dollar one last night. Didn't win my coin.

Blinds move up *FAST* in these things.....every 2 minutes.

Penguinfan 06-18-06 04:05 PM

Yea, the 8.70 game are turbos, forgot to mention that.

On a side note I just lost my last token when I got all in pre flop with KK, of course the only hand my opponent could have possibly had was AA.

Yes God, I hate you as much as you hate me.
