MiniFTOPS time yeooooo

Really disappointing in the schedule as I'm not a fan of rush.

Schedule I'm thinking of playing:



Missing $26 SS 6max KO and ME because of exam next day

Why the Cashout? That is such a stupid format...I can't believe Tilt has still held onto it.

Because fish burn equity by cashing out which means more money for me?

I suppose that's a good reason. I still stick with the last part of my statement though

Some guy cashed out in 7th in the 6max cashout today, loool

Looking for one more runner for ftops. My friend and myself have a two-way deal and are hoping to get one more person. I have only 30-40 tournaments online and 70 s'n'g's. I am at a 55% rating and 18% itm over those tournaments. I play live poker.
My friend is 98-98% rating and around 7500th overall last year on OPR. He has a ROI of 30% over 2700 tournaments in nlhe and 32% over all with over 37k in cashes. This is a young guy that I helped teach to play poker and play at his home games all the time so he is willing to split with me because he knows I can play.
Anyone care to deal? We are going 60/40 in favor of the guy who cashes, 70/30 if it is final table. So with one more it would be 60/20/20 and so on. Message me if interested.

lmao, there's your value right there. Of any strategy I've ever really read about the cashouts is that the only real positive to playing them is if you know you might be time constrained, so you can play and then still cashout if mid-tournament you find out that you NEED to leave and don't just want to bleed chips away into the money. But IMO, if you know there is a good chance something is going to come up mid-tournament, then you shouldn't be playing in a tournament, lol.

What did the guy cash out for? What was 7th place? That just cracks me up.

IMO the only real positive is that fish cash out their chips, which because they only get 50% of what their chips are actually worth in ICM terms means they are basically handing you money.

He got like $80 I think plus 7th place money which was probably another $50, pretty hilarious as 8th had just busted so went from 8 left to final table in a few seconds and then all our chips got cashed out and money credited - he must have been like WTF

yea, making it to the final table I know is huge just because of the cashout bonus and then regular play

ICM bubble is huge, only thing where ICM is more important is a satellite I imagine but cashout bubble is even more fun because you don't just want to fold into the final table because you burn equity in doing so - conundrums!
