Any hints?

Should I just keep bullying and stealing blinds? There is another +20k plr at my table... How should I handle it?

Edit #1: It's a Full Tilt, $1 Main Event Qualifyer.

Edit #2: Should I look for a player to "dump" my chips in or is that bad etiquette?

Edit #3: I got knocked out with a full house over pocket-full housing. "oncemorechance:" ty. "ramdeebam:" Dumping chips means you knowingly lose a hand to help another plr---that you, in hoping---that will give you a % of their winnings.

How many get paid with a ticket? I guess it's all aggression now regardless as only the top few will pay?

Dump chips in? As in...?

When the blinds were 500/1000, it did turn into a shovefest Average stack was 40,000 with 3,000 ppl left.

Cheap shot at a decent lottery imo. Even if there isn't any overlay, a good player obviously shows up to a lotteryament with more tickets than your average joe.

avg. stack 40bb's deep with 3,000 players left..... doesn't sound so bad.

Also, what tournament doesn't turn into a shovefest? (aside from a very select few with exceptionally good structures)

Pretty much.

Once I found out that it was another ticket-based earning, Icalled some random hand. Not into those things. I'm not gonig to waste a multiple of 10 hours or so to win another ticket and go against another 30,000 ppl.

Am I wrong here?

Top 3 paid out of 35,000?

I wouldn't waste my time. There are freerolls that are worth playing, this certainly isn't though.

This week it's a $2 buyin with Top6 guar. WSOP MnEvent pkg.
With a smaller player pool I'm guessing this one will have overlay (can't picture there being 36,000 entries (even though it is a MET).
Might have to use up some of my FTPs to pick up some entries to this. Yah it's a lottery, but winning a MnEv. pkg. for 50pts. would be nice!!
