so Ive been running well on FTP
winning many tics via satellites ($11-$129)
i usually cash them in for tourney dollars (or played like an idiot in a few 26$ ones:()
well with the FTOPS going on, I have won 4 $55 sats to bigger sats(for main events) but have cashed out all
I also won a $129 for event 19 (nl holdem knockout)
my roll is around $500 cash/tourny dollars
Id love to play the event (providing I have the time) but taking the tourney money is using smart BRM
I also won a $109 game of the week tic- so I do have a big game to play soon

would you play it or keep the cash??
thx all

p.s. those sat. games rock!!

Are you comfortable at tourneys of that price? If you are I would go for it... Cashing or running deep could change your roll greatly and if you lose.... Meh... Get back on the grind my friend. For those of us without large rolls this could be a great opportunity... Don't pass it up bud. Just my opinion though and you may take it with a grain of salt if you disagree :)

thx Jb
thought Id get more responses
of all the events I think the knockout would be my best choice,
haven't played that many big buying games ($129 would be the biggest for me)
so I don't want to be the scared money
it also started early this morning and I have to run out:( or I really might have,
so missing this one:(
but will keep at the satellites and maybe get an event in yet
I do like the idea of a big gamble now and then
can't always follow BRM;)

Think like this..... Was the satellite within your bankroll management? If it was then in my opinion there's nothing wrong with taking a shot because your technically only risking your satellite buy in price. Why play satellites if not to take shots at higher stakes when you win? :)

well I just won a $320 tic for FTOPS event 23
cashed out (27trip draw not really my game)
but I will play a big buying or two now for sure

Ive been running well for awhile now, might as well maximize my good luck streak:)

and to answer your question,
I play satellites cuz I win them a lot
if I played all the tics I won, Id likely be broke;)

Imo the knockout is the best deal...you have a chance to get money other than the pruze pool and still get big cash if you hit final tabl gl in your crazy journey :)

What would 'I' do? or what would I do if I were 'you'?? ;)

What satties are you playing in for these? (do they have any larger field ones with stuff like 25seats or 50seats gtd.?)

what would you do was the question

they are mostly smaller field games (1-2tbl) and lately mostly hyper turbo (300chips) (dunno why I started playing hypers even, but they're paying off)
sure throws off regular tournament play when you're in flip or fold mode
I had won 3 $55 tics and wanted to play the 50seat added for event 1 but ended up missing it
maybe I'll try and sat. into the main event:)
I really want to play one of the FTOPS yet
