500K playchips FullTilt freeroll

I found out about this tournaments the other days.

To get in you need 500.000 play chips and it's a $40 freeroll. I know it's very little, but the first 18 get paid, and when you have around 30-35 players, it's quite easy to get into the money, which may not be much, but when you're broke, like i am, any amount is good.

My account was under a dollar ( a bad week ), I got $2 at that small tourney and today it's up to $15.

I'm saying all this because i find this way of getting some $ much easier than joining a 2700 freerolll where you'll get almost the same amount, playing against x100 the number of players and spending 5 or 6 hours extra.

Hope this can be of any help for those that are broke.

Nice one coljung, i think that would be a great way to build a decent bank roll from play money chips.
It goes one better than starting from freerolls to build a roll.
I would love to see you posting in the near future that you have like 100/200 bucks from this endeavor.
Good luck.

ya i saw this im tryin to build up 500k play chips to enter

thanks for the info man!
i shall start building my play money bankroll

the 500k free roll sounds cool but im kind of lazy to build up that much

what i did was begin playing 10000 playchips sng, then i moved to 100000 sng and in less than a day i was at around 700000 chips.

then the at freeroll its quite easy to cash in, given that there's around 35 players, and the top 18 get cash,so just play tight and wait.

It is nice to get confirmation on these opportunities. Prior to this I had heard rumors. There also might be another opportunity when you get to 1 mil, also a rumor until verified.

Question, is it a one time thing, or are these available all the time to anyone with 1/2 mil play balance?

I'm close enough to probably get there in a few hours if I concentrated.

I don't recommend this freeroll much. I've done it before. It takes ages to get to 500k and then all u get is a measly $2 which will all go if u get unlucky in a $1 sng. Much better to get 1 million chips on pokerstars and sell them for $10 than this.

I have been in these when i had 15mil playchips but i lost em

i dont know, i played once and i got my $2, went right away to a 9 person $1 SnG and won $ 4.50 . Since then i've been slowly building back my bankroll ( very slowly). I got to $15 today.


And yes, this tourneys happen once a day, i think at 20:40.

Also, i understand time to get to 500K, but i rather try $2, than have a few million of playchips.

Btw, these tourneys are very small, i played once, and saw it another days, and both times there were less than 35 entrants, with 18 getting into the $. Pretty easy i think.

new info for me again...lol

do u ask around? or peeps who are interested in buying will ask for it?

i still havent herd of these before what time again?

Thanks. hpefullt I can reach that soon. do you know when exactlly it is?

I don't see this tournament on the list. Is it only shown to players over 500K chips? What day is it done on?

click on play money go to tournaments and it should be right there

if you look at the payout of the freeroll, the 1st Place gets $5.
Therefore if u win it twice, it'll cost u 1million playmoney for $10.
Isn't that the same as selling 1million playmoney @ $10 the same?
But in the end, the decision is all up to you.

btw, i've decide to build my first million of playmoney at PokerStars.

Thanks man. I am going to try get in this free roll.

I had never seen this before just find it now on FT its quite good.

Sounds like a good option, although it will take a few months to get to 500k in play chips.

i've send u a PM

great idea,takes awhile to build..
currently @ F,T, 51822 play chips and building....

Where do you go 2 sell play $ chips on PokerStars?

Were you go to sell 1 million play chips for 10$

still building down to 36,100 lost with medium full house too a high full house,
had to see it, has anybody reached or close to 500k yet?

laterz

Oh wow i never knew they had something like that, and ive been playing on full tilt for a long time now. Well thanks for the post, ill start trying that!

Nice find. sounds like a much better way to start than a freeroll... guess ill be seeing you guys there too now

too bad i cant play at full tilt but this selling play chips at PokerStars.... whoda thought that play chips would be so interesting

I might give it a try. But it doesnt sound worth it. I mean building up 500K play chips to enter a $40 freeroll?

Yeah i dont really care what i get as long as i get something.

I think it would be a better idea to just do it with the play chips.
First of all, not as many people, easier to win.
Second, it doesnt take 6 hours to win a lousy 15 dollars.
I had 4 million play chips in my account, but never knew about the play chips freeroll, now i have none. Got to try and get them back up there.

man.. early this morning 4:50am i was in a 250+25 playchip tourney,pot was 34,000,plus, i was in the chip lead and final 9 table and i passed out with my eyes open,only got 2534 chips or something like that, i was bummed out when i woke up,nobody was betting everyone was scared to bet.. if they didn't see it in the flop they folded that game took forever...i was like its just free chips not real money aside from that still building my free chips... :P
