As of late I've been grinding out 1$ sngs on betfair to earn points for their 150k ticket promotion.

So I got a ticket, entered one of these tourneys, which guaranteed 300 33$ tournament tickets. The turnout was only half this, so Betfair credited all the entrants accounts with two tickets :D.

So seeing as these tickets combined basically equal my roll on Betfair at the moment, I'm stumped about what to do with them.

They can be used on MTT's and SNGs(Reg, Turbo, DoNs).

Do you think I should play two Dons and hopefully cash in one, as a pretty safe option to make 60$, play two Turbo 10 man SNG because it's my normal game(although the competition will me much harder), or play two MTTs and hope for a big score.

Winning a 9 man SNG($150) would allow me to move up to 3$ SNGs which I want to do, but it's not that often I get a chance at hitting it big in a 33$ MTT.

I really dunno what to do, thanks for any advice.

I am guessing from your comments that you cannot cash the tickets in and you have to use them to buy into a $30+3 game. I would play the DoN's. Your chances of doubling up in at least one of them must be pretty good. Once you cash I would go back to doing what you have been doing and starting over again without putting too much of your new bank roll at risk. It sounds like you have found a decent way to improve your bankroll. If you cashed in your first DoN you could use the other one to play the $150K game. Good luck whatever you decide.

I spewed them off playing 2 turbo SNGs. I was so nervous playing them, I wasn't playing my usual game at all. Played way too many hands early, started bluffing, made dodgy shoves.

So angry with myself, but I did earn a lot of points for the next one because of the 6 $ rake lol, so it's not all bad :D

Yeah it's pretty good I like their promos but as only bridge said, it's unavailable to US players unfortunately.

Id be safe in how you use them, id play a double or nothing first to see if you can get to 60. If you get there, then you can go for the gold in a tourney if you are satisfied with $60.
