I would like to post 2 questions and let some of you more experienced players chime in and help me out. First, I have acquired a substantial amount of FTP Academy Points. So if I decided to get the $100 Bonus for 20,000 points does this mean that FTP is going to put $ 100 into my Bonus account which means I have to play a $ 100 and Full Tilt will then add another $ 100 to my account? Or will FT directly deposit $ 100 into my real money account? Any info would be appreciated. Second, if I decide not to take the $100 would someone offer some suggestions on what size tournament tickets I should get with my points. I mean do you go for it all with a big money ticket or get several small and medium tickets and play in a lot more tournaments? Thanks for any guidance.

Pretty sure you'll get a bonus that you need to clear by running up Full Tilt Points, same as other bonuses.

With regard to tournament tickets IMO it's really up to you - if you regularly grind MTTs and you can get tickets for tournaments like the ones you currently play it's probably not a bad idea to go for multiple ones. I'd almost certainly take the bonus over tournament tickets though: guaranteed cash (assuming you're confident you can grind the points out) vs maybe a big score in an MTT but probably not much return.

oz is right on about that 100 bonus, ur gonna have to earn full tilt points to unlock it, like the deposit bonus.

i wouldnt go for that bonus especially with a $100 bankroll. nor would i go with tourn tickets, id go with full tilt points.

if ur thinking about tourn tickets with 20k academy credits, its like taking a one shoter by getting a hi tourn ticket or getting lil tickets that u should be able to get just by playing ur normal limits.

so the credits really wouldnt help u, its a 1 shoter or getting lots of tickets that u could normally get anyway.

full tilt points would be harder to get especially with some1 playing with only a 100 bankroll. id prefer the 20k in points.

id rather go after the full tilt points because the site offers some nice opportunities like full tilt point sngs and tourns that offer a chance to turn those points into something nice. some of them have winner take all payouts, which i dont like but a few of em have the standard payouts.

but i always like the 2500 pt saty to the 750k guar. or even the 650pt sngs to the 2500 point 750 guar saty tourn.

id suggest looking at the full tilt point tourns and sngs, u might find one that gets ur attention.
