I like the 2500ftp satellites which you can satellite into for 650ftp if you place in the top 2 of a nine player SNG.
The 2500ftp satellite is on Saturday nights. 50 seats are guaranteed, and there's usually 70-90 seats by the end available. Takes four hours or so to play thru to the end. There is usually a few sit-outs as well which help.
I've cashed in four of these in the past year, winning a $216 ticket each time. The ticket isn't redeemable for cash, and is only good in the $750k gtd and "some" ftops tourneys. I cashed in the $750gtd the first time I played in it, so i'm ahead still...and the rakeback hit is about $10-$12 i think.
