I'll be playing in the Big Little Tournament on FTP in a few minutes. This will be just my second time ever playing in it. My first time, we were just outside of the money when I was dealt kings. managed to get it all in preflop against QQ and the other guy rivered a queen on me!

Does anyone have any tips or hints on how to make it as deep as possible in this tournament? I'd love to take this one down... Pretty good money for first place, considering that this is just a $2 buy in!

Sorry, I should have said that earlier, lol.

The buy in is $2+0.20. The prize pool is $200,000. 7,500 places pay. There are 35,000 people in it right now, and seating will last until 1:00PM full tilt poker time.

With 35,000+ players, it should play much like a big freeroll. You will need some luck, even playing tight. (Prize pool is $200K, ITM @ 7500, top prize is $18K). I'm in it, too. Hope the volume doesn't freeze up FT.

Good luck!

I love huge fields. When FTP had their Record Breaker tournament with 50,000 players I managed to get 800-something for $40. Not much, but at least it's money!

And it's fun to see half the field gone after an hour hahaha

I played one of these and made the first pay scale or so when it was a $5 tourney a month or two ago, but no big cash. I joined this today, and hopefully can TID!!! 18k would be nice! I didn't realize it was a turbo, till after I joined it, but that's ok just means I'll get to the FT faster...
I satty'd in for .80c too woot.
My free Pandora account is reaching it's 40/hr a month limit... hope I don't run out of music, only thing to drown out the sound of my GF voice and TV, my 2 major distractions...lol

Seems like alot of Cardschat-ers are in this one. I'll be glad if one of us can take it down.

Vfranks - I didn't realize that it was a turbo tournament until after I registered, either. But like you said, just means that we'll make money faster :D

It could become expensive but why not teach her how to play poker?

I've reg. for this donkament today, winning a 70cent sng makes it even sicker if one happened to luck out & go deep.... look at it like a cheap lottery ticket.
There is HUGE overlay in this tournament (over $100K overlay!) but no doubt the biggest donkfest out there.
GL to all who play.

I try to teach her, but it doesn't interest her at all... maybe one day she will come around.

Does a ftops jersey ftp avatar mean that person took down a ftops event?

Yes, I think it does.
Does someone at your table have one?

GOOD NEWS: just doubled up in the tournament.

Your table is the opposite of mine.... 3 to a flop, getting allin on flops with air, etc. Trade ya tables in a bit if I last that long.

I bust out ~6500 left, played very few hands, got AA and KK one time each enough to see me through to the moneyz!!! Will grind out BLT sats so I can play in BLT, CC games (other specials maybe) only I think, I'm truly done with FT as far as ring and sng is concerned, no Rakeback is a killer spesh when I'm doing so well on Entraction

Good luck to everyone left!

out @ 2871st for $12....not to bad for .70c satty in. Wish I could have gone deeper, but don't we all. QTs ran into AA when I shoulda prolly folded preflop.,Then QKs<ATo to leave me 800 chips and no chance with my k2s lol.
GL to anyone who is still in.

Yeah since I have a small roll I been trying to play the BLT sng satties to build my roll this past week. I am ahead at those, but behind at ring, so hopefully I can pull off some more winning sessions today. I found the DD sng .25c sats to be a lil softer than the BLT sng sats, by a lil.
