$40 Freeroll!!!

Hello, I just wanted to tell everybody of a $40 freeroll I found on FT a few days ago. It cost 500,000 play chips, and theres like 50 players average with 18 ITM. I never played play chips before because it didnt seem like I was learning anything from playing them, but today I went from 1,000 play chips to 473,000 play chips, so its not to hard to get enough chips to play in them. Im not sure why not people many do.

ooops i forgot to add that it is located under Play Money~Tournaments
maybe people dont play in it cuz its hidden lol

(moved this to Poker Rooms)

I never knew there was play money tourneys there I never play with the play money because it seems to be a waste of my time ..guess I was wrong about that might have to check them out thanx

wow! whenver i get alot of play chips i usually waste them on 100k sit n gos and 10k tourneys! now i will have to save them!! I really did not know about this thanks alot!

Ive never had this many play points before but it sounds like a great freeroll as Ive not seen that many players enter. so the odds of cashing are reasonable

well i played in it today and got 14th, i lost a race against but still happy about the $2

i didn't see this $40 freeroll listed, not that I have any play chips anyways but there are lots of other little sat's in there...midnight madness, early double, even one for the ferguson

I play in play chip tournaments all the time. It gives me patiences and teaches me the game better. The more I learn the game the better I become. So why play for real money if you are a beginner. play for chips.

i don't mean this in any way to be disrespectful but I always looked at play chips as complete all in fests that did not really follow what one would consider to be tourney strategy.

What i did not know was that you could convert those play chips into entry in real $ tourneys.

Other than FT do you guys and gals know of any other site that does this (allows entry into real $ tourneys with play chips)?

Thanks,

checkout

I dont know about this in FT, sounds good, thanks.



i know that the steps in carbon give $1.

Enter a sit of 6 and the first place get a ticket for another step, dont remember if are 3 or 4 steps but the buyin is only 250 chips.

well some of the games are all in fest, but once you get to 500,000 play chips and a chance for a few dollars, people play more seriously.
its great because most of the players are just so inexperience against a decent player its really easy

Wow. Thanks. Never would've thought to look there for anything. I guess I'll have to try to get my play chips up, then maybe I can do the same to my bankroll. Thanks again.

lol nice to know , i'll try this ^_^ atleast for fun

anybody know how much time requires to make 1000 play chips to 500k ?

Thanks for the tip....When I get enough of those play chipes I will check it out.

tnks phil

i didnt know play chips on ft r any other site would give u a cash tourney
for play chips , will deff check it out cheers






LOVE LIFE PLAY TO WIN

If you are playing play chip poker, you should want about 20 million playchips to play in these. You have probably been playing the good playchip games at 10K buy-ins or bigger maybe, and have found a bastion of actually good poker. If you get to 500K and blow it all on one tourney, then you will have to wade through all those crummy lower level games you have learned to dispise all over again.

Start learning bankroll management so that when you do get some real cash online, you are approaching the game sanely. You can practice good BRM with play chips too.

At first I had never known about that..But one day, I searched play money chips for real money and it showed a thread on another forum about this..Since then I have always wanted to join those..But gaining 450K Chips has been difficult..When i get that..I will join that..And hopefully only 18 will register so i can wish some cash! Good Luck
Take Care

ya i've seen the tourny and it shouldn't be hard playing the other play $ tourny to get the 500k.

i've read online thet there are a multitude or quality players in the play $ section, so don't let it fool you that these players aren't any good. i also read that they generally don't bluff as a rule.

i started w/ play $. that's how i learned to play HE. and the reason there probably aren't as many entrants is the fact a lot of players don't venture or search arround. plus the novices probably can't aquire that much play $ and if they do can't hold onto it lol.

i haven't played in one yet, but i'm almost there. i haven't used play money in quite awhile. it's just been sitting there.

but i did play some of the play money matrix games, to get a feel for it.

I play at Full Tilt and to be honest, I never even tried the play money out. Thanks for the info.

im glad i could help some people out
hopefully a few of you can start major bankrolls from ur play chips

I was wondering if there was at all a freeroll at FT! Thank you for the information and gl at the tables!

Yeah i've played in these quite a few times. There's rarely very many people in them, so quite a good chance of getting paid. The standard of play is quite high too, so it's all good

Wow never known that there was that freeroll thank u very much for telling man i will try to make the 500000 :P

Yes, I've played in these a few times. It's a great way to potentially turn play chips into real money. The top 18 get paid out, and there's usually about 40 or so people in them, so you have a good chance to win at least $2. These tourneys are held once a day - just kinda hard to find if you don't know where to look.

how many people play these things, i mean how big are the fields usually?

Thanks for the tip - nothing listed for today though. Might inspire me to go back to play money for a while - building up to $500K will be a challenge!!!

Found the tourney - starts at 20:40 FT time, pays top 18 - $5 for 1st, $3 for 2nd and $2 for 3 to 18. Today are 57 runners. Much better odds than the $100 freeroll with 2,700 runners. Have started working on those play money chips.

God that sounds like a lot of work. Not getting donked by fishes to get 500,000 play chips... to get a chance in a tournament that has a 40 dollar prize pool.

The free sngs at Carbon seem to be a better route to me.

Yeah one of my friends told me about this ,but it would be the middle of the night for me which sucks, and also it would probably take a long time to get 500k playchips lol

does carbon except US players?

alot seem to think it will take along time to get to 500K chips, but as i posted, it only took me 2 days.

what i did was took my 1000 chips and went to a 10/20 NL omaha table, where almost every1 goes all in every hand. wait for a decent drawing hand, and bet your 1000. if you win you will prob have 7000 in chips, if not get another 1000 and try again. i used that 7000 at the omaha tables until i got it to 35,000. then took those chips to a NLHE table where i put (which is way to much, but wasnt caring at the time) 17,500 on two diff tables. played for an hour or so and had about 100,000. took the 100K to a higher limit and played 4 tables with 20K on each(leaving me 20K) played another 1hr or so and got up to 400K. the next day, i sat down for a few minutes and got the last 100K.

its not to hard once you can get to the 50K range. alot of people at play chips arent very good, so its easyto take advantage.

yeah thanks for the info....I've never noticed that there is such an tournament, but I only have 8000 play chips. I think I have to play a long time with the donks til I reach the 500,000. I'll try it and I'll inform if I made it.

well,with,these,forums,it,wont,be,to,long,till,it, starts,to,fill,up
i,had,had,about,20mil,in.play,chips,but,was,just,p laying,cash
or,freerolls,until,one,day,i,got,bored,and,donked, most,of,them,off.
lol,now,i,wish,i,hadnt,lol

thanks for the lead on the tourney.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't play the play chips side of Tilt but I will take a look at this.$40 and a small field sounds good.
