Thanks for the tip - nothing listed for today though. Might inspire me to go back to play money for a while - building up to $500K will be a challenge!!!

Found the tourney - starts at 20:40 FT time, pays top 18 - $5 for 1st, $3 for 2nd and $2 for 3 to 18. Today are 57 runners. Much better odds than the $100 freeroll with 2,700 runners. Have started working on those play money chips.

God that sounds like a lot of work. Not getting donked by fishes to get 500,000 play chips... to get a chance in a tournament that has a 40 dollar prize pool.

The free sngs at Carbon seem to be a better route to me.

Yeah one of my friends told me about this ,but it would be the middle of the night for me which sucks, and also it would probably take a long time to get 500k playchips lol

does carbon except US players?

alot seem to think it will take along time to get to 500K chips, but as i posted, it only took me 2 days.

what i did was took my 1000 chips and went to a 10/20 NL omaha table, where almost every1 goes all in every hand. wait for a decent drawing hand, and bet your 1000. if you win you will prob have 7000 in chips, if not get another 1000 and try again. i used that 7000 at the omaha tables until i got it to 35,000. then took those chips to a NLHE table where i put (which is way to much, but wasnt caring at the time) 17,500 on two diff tables. played for an hour or so and had about 100,000. took the 100K to a higher limit and played 4 tables with 20K on each(leaving me 20K) played another 1hr or so and got up to 400K. the next day, i sat down for a few minutes and got the last 100K.

its not to hard once you can get to the 50K range. alot of people at play chips arent very good, so its easyto take advantage.

yeah thanks for the info....I've never noticed that there is such an tournament, but I only have 8000 play chips. I think I have to play a long time with the donks til I reach the 500,000. I'll try it and I'll inform if I made it.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't play the play chips side of Tilt but I will take a look at this.$40 and a small field sounds good. :)

You would be surprised how quickly one can go from 0 to 500k in play chips on FT. All it takes is a bit of intelligence and the ability to multi-table.

For the extremely lazy, I found a way to accumulate free chips without playing a single hand.

Just register for the 90 man SNGs that cost 250 chips to enter. Keep registering for them until Full Tilt says you have reached the maximum amount of tournaments in which you can register and just leave your computer. 75% of the time you will fold your way into the money, where you just double up. I did this all day yesterday and went from 2000 play chips to a little over 14000. A 12k profit per day isn't bad for not playing a single hand.

This doesn't work for the 2000 buy in tournament because unlike the 250 buy in, its not full of donks that go all in on the first hand, narrowing the field to half its size in the first 10 minutes.
