I have 1,000 FTPs

What would be the best way to use them?

Most of the tournaments are just satellite tournaments where only the top 1-5% move on.

Here's what I suggest... buy a steps tournament ticket if you are good at SnG and can turn that ticket into a big buy in, where if you cash at all you make good money.

However, if you are like me and are not so great at SnG, the best way to use those points would be to use them on MTT and try to win either a satelite tournament to a good tourny or you can try those tournament ticket tournaments. Really good pay just or FTP and you can use them for SnGs, MTT, or cash if you don't mind paying a bit.

Of course you can just keep them and buy a Hat!:santaclau

best way is buying a tournament ticket. why i say that? a lot of donks and irrational players are playing at points mtt so u should lost all of your points.

Well, if you got a rakeback deal, then you should keep them!
Otherwise, use them in the store!

Maybe collect some more points and get some great stuff from the store

You can buy into tournaments with step tickets?

Save up your points, to get a few thousand and then buy some MTT Satellites for tournaments. 1500 points usually gets you into 50$ + tournaments.
or use them for daily dollar or daily double sattelites

certain ones, yes

I've never seen them, how would I find the tournaments I can pay for entry with step tickets?

Yes, as Niantic said, depends if you get rakeback, if you do, then you will lose most/all of your rakeback for the week, if you dont get rakeback or you just wanna spend the points, id advise trying to earn yourself another 1000 points by tourny or sngs etc and then enter the $100,000 tourny they have....2000 to enter. i think im gonna enter it, if i cash it will make up for losing my rakeback for the week.

You can use your step tickets only for other steps until you reach step 3, then if you wish you can enter any tourny/SnG for $26 or play the next step to reach $75... and so on. Gl at the tables

I usually don't use my FTP's unless I am totally broke. If you get rakeback it can mess that up a little. Step ticket is you best option with such a small amount.

daily dollar tickets...thats the way i go

thanks. i have to buy something to get into the 50k holiday freeroll. I think I'm gonna buy a daily doller ticket. Maybe try to satellite into the 100K FTP Guarantee.

You can play in some satellites and then unregister for the tourney you win into. So, if you want, you could try to build up a FPP bankroll.

I suggest you just keep em and keep collecting FT points you don't know when you might need them

Also if you want to spend some try the SnG 60 FT point buy-in it pays 2 places to the Daily dollar. Should be easy enough for you if you play SnG's

I can't enter that one! I spend all my points not too long ago, so I'm kind of in a bad position!
I might try to play a sat for it though! It's a pretty good tour
Wish you the best of luck and patience if you're playing it!

Save them and buy a hat....those points games are a crapshoot....At least if you had the hat it is a guaranteed cashout.

It does? I've never seen any.

Get a hat ^ (like this one here!).
Although this one I got for free from Gavin Smith (Negreanu's sig. on brim).

[x] Guilty of hi-jacking for not so subtle brag

I'll occassionally use the FTP's to play the 650ftp SNG Super Sattellite to the $750K (as 2,500ftp satellite), but rarely play the 2,500ftp satty, instead just unreg. & keep the pts. (I'll sometimes do this when planning on purchasing stuff from the FTP store).

There's that 2,000ftp $100K tourney comin' up after Christmas. Maybe you could play the 650ftp sng sat. to get some extra pts. to play in it? (the 650ftp satty, 1st & 2nd win 2,500ftp, 3rd gets 850ftp. You get a huge variety of players in it.... many who are REAL bad & will get it in pretty wide in early levels... also some players who typically play in med.-higher buyins (ie. $40-$55 avg. buyin for SNG).
