Default Great Value on FTP

I dont know if these have been talked about yet but the $8.80 18man turbos for $26 tourney chips is a great value. I just discovered these yesturday and so far I have been using bap money to get my chips and enter $24's which is great since im only using $8 is allowed. Payouts are as follows


1-5 tourney chip
6th $14

the rest go home unhappy, if your good at turbos then you could make a killing getting tons of chips for cheap price. If you get a chip 1/3 times then you break even. I just won another one so far im 2 for 2 in these things.

Ya this is what I got the token in that I used for the KO tourny that I hit 2nd in. Basically one double and you can cruise to a token!!

I think the long term expectation in these for a good player is probably around 50%, but that being said if you are playing $26 MTTs or 45s, then this is a great way reduce variance.

My wife has run quite a few of these and I think she cashes about 50% of the time. She takes the tokens to the Tier 2 18-mans which pay the same ratios but pay out $75 tokens, then she takes those tokens to the $75 single table SNGs. She has made it to the $75 step 4 or 5 times, with at least 1 win and at least 3 cashes I believe.

If you play 38 of the $8.70 Turbos and win 50% you will have 19 $26 tokens. If you can cash 40% in the $26's. you should come out with 7 $75 tokens. If you win 1 (or 1 second and 1 third) of the $75s you break even. Any additional cashes are all profit

Don't know who the referral was, but if it was you, thanks. I've already +Repped him twice.

We could use another handful of jhill's around here. Stick around and spread the word.

getting back on topic just won another chip


getting back off topic, Jhill has been one of my most consistant investors. Actually think he has invested in all 5 of my baps. Plus I just threw $50 into his current bap because lol he is good....good reason to me. I actually thought he came because of my staking blog... but guess it was jake who I got to go to PTP who in turn found Jhill who he refered here so in some off the wall kinda of way I refered him... thats confusing to me and I typed it up!

any getting back, back on topic yea the $8.70 turbos im loving now!

Thanks for the heads up. I won a chip on my first try. Easy-peasy.

I am 2 for 2 on the 18 man, 0 for 1 on the 6 man and 1 for 1 on the Frenzy tournament.

I have been using them for some of the $26 buy-ins. Fun fun.

If you all are interested and have time to play them, there are 2 sattys that start at the same time sometime around 6:30CST I think for $14 that feeders into the 50/50. They are very soft and if you play both, you can almost always win a seat. I usually don't have a schedule that allows me to play them, but when I can fit them in, I never miss them. Great value and now you can also unregister and get the T$.

By 6:30CST I hope everyone understood I mean pm.

I am not feeling so lazy today, so I actually looked up the times, and they start at 19:40 FTP Time. $14+1 Satellite to the Fifty Fifty.

The first one usually gets about 100 players and pays out about 25 seats. The second usually gets a lot fewer players like 60 or on average and pays out around 15 seats. These are weekend numbers, during the weak it may be 10-20% less.

Finally scored on the 3rd thanks to a nice triple up and then a nice suckout (although I would have still been in - just knocked the shortie out on the bubble).
