I was wondering if anyone has any experience playing at king of the hill of similar limits At FTP. I tried it as you can see in the picture below, but I did not last very long at the high limits, they were very demanding. If someone could offer advice on how to play at these stakes, it would be greatly appreciated.

go to the play chips section of full tilt, and look at holdem under the highest limits. It is 50k/100k i think. it is the only heads up table in all of play chips at full tilt, and the best players play there. There is usually a waiting list. tell me if you still can't find it.

I wouldnt recommend playing at those stakes unless you are 100% confident in your game. There are some great players there, and most of them will eat up a average poker player (I'm not saying your average)

Issac cares.

who is issac? yeah, anyways when i played stakes like those, i had upwards of 100 mill in my bankroll so i felt safe with playing with 7,5% of my play chip bankroll. After playing at these stakes, do you think i am good enough for real money?

It is possible to sell play chips. People usually buy them for $1 per 200k, but i didnt want to get in trouble with FTP, so i did not sell. However if i did, i could have had a potential $500 on my account from play money. Just some food for thought,

Isaac

straight from the FTP website:

Run It Twice



full tilt poker now offers players the chance to Run it Twice, an option that provides two outcomes for one hand by dealing community cards twice.
When players sit down at a Run it Twice table, they can select Run it Twice by checking the box at the bottom of the screen.
Once two players who have selected Run it Twice are all-in heads-up, the remaining community cards are dealt twice. This can be done pre-flop, post-flop, or after the turn card has been dealt. The winner of each outcome wins half of the pot.*

hope that helps it is too hard for me to explain otherwise.

If you have 100 million play chips why don't you try the 500,000 play chip tourney with the real money prize pool? Also, when you asked if playing there meant you were good enough for real money here's a tip. Play money and real money are basically different games, they have no similarites other than that they are both poker. Playing styles, moves people make they are not similar at all.

have you played high stakes play money and micro real money?

IF you haven't I dont believe you have the authority to make a judgment call on this topic. If you have, sorry go ahead.

As for the 500k $40 freerolls, yes i know about them, I am a PLAY CHIP PLAYER.

Yes, i have tried them, and i have won the two dollars 3-4 times, but failed to do better than that. However, today i am deep in a horse freeroll and +$1 in freeroll winnings today, with the play chip exp preparing me for real money, thanks for your opion, but i have to disagree respectfully.

Cheers,

Isaac

The play chip experience prepared you for a freeroll, while freerolls give out real money prizes they aren't real money games. Tell me how you do once you start playing real money, where you buy-in with real money.

trust me the play chips high limits helped to prepare me for low limit razz and holdem stakes. I would play with you if you all willing to play low stakes razz like .10/20 or something. I am up to $9.75 and i am not moving out of those stakes unless i get to $50.

Obviously you have worked hard to get this far with play money but I would think its time to play for real now.

thanks stu, that means a lot, yeah i have doubled my investment so far, but it is tough to grind at the low stakes, but i guess i must start somewhere. what is your alias and do you often play at full tilt?
