Hi cardschatters,

somehow I can't decide. I won tickets in Spin&Go to the Micro Millions and have still two $3.30 tickets left over. One I want to use this evening for the progressive KO. But about the other one I am not sure so far. There would be another progressive KO tomorrow noon, but unfortunately I have no time at this time.

At midnight I also could play the hyper turbo, but it is kinda late for me.
Does anybody know how long they take usually and around how many people usually are registered to these at 00:00 CET?

Another possibility would be to play a satellite to the main event...
But really not sure about this, cause usually I'm not a big fan of satellites.

Furthermore it looks to me, like these tickets are also valid for other tourneys after the Micro Millions. At least there are other tourneys appearing, when I click in Tools on this ticket. Does anybody know about this, is it really possible to use afterwards?

How would you decide in my case?

These tournaments take forever. I played one the other day. Must have been at it 4.5 hours, eventually getting beaten, by some runner runner from left field.

Find something that fits your bankroll, but more important, find a starting time that really works for you. It is no good going deep, and finding its 1 or 2am. Finally, you are at the business end of the tournament, yet you are tired and stale. All that effort to be in a sub-optimal situation, is not the best strategy...

Thanks a lot for your reply. It is really a good argument, playing tired is not fun...:boring:

You should foreseen approximately 5 hours for most of the MM games, kitty.
But you mentioned that you will be on a vocation next week, so maybe Main Event worth for you? And I suppose there will be less donkeys, compared to low BI entries - check this out: (naah, did not saved that one kicked me out from today's 1,10 MM - OK, I was short-stacked after this unlucky one: https://www.boomplayer.com/24731003_2EC3F50333; and after a while I got dealt AQ diamonds, UTG3 raised and I shoved and get called by the same guy. He had 96 clubs :eek: and hit a 6 on the rainbow flop, grrrrrrrrr)

Glad you earned those tickets, you should observe their Expiry date. If usable for other tourneys, you should not be in a hurry :)

Whatever you choose to play, I am keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck mate :top:

Thanks my captain for reply. ;)
Damn, really unlucky you was and lucky this donkey. :mad:

The expiry date is in 2037. So if they are really valid for other tourneys as well, I guess I would prefer to play one later, otherwise I have to play one Satelite for the one $3.30 ticket and then I'm not sure to pass this.
I already played in 4 different MMs and even cashed a few in 3. I know they take pretty long. But these wasn't the hyper games. I expected, that they will be a bit faster. But when they also take so long I will fall asleep probably during night. :-D

Damn, I run against aces with pocket 88 at late position in this $3.30 freeroll game. I am so terrible short now...grrr
