Hooloovoo Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Tried something yesterday which i never done before. Played a "Tier One", an $8.80 18-entry sng, where top 5 won a $26 tournament ticket. Did well and won the ticket. Then played a "Tier Two", a $26 4-entry HU-sng, where the winner gets a $75 tournament ticket (2nd gets $21 in cash). Won this as well, so now i have a $75 ticket which can buy me into any $69+$6 tournament. Now the problem is that the range of $69+$5 tournaments is a bit overwhelming, to say the least. That buy-in is also a little bit above my normal, so i don't have any experience of these. There are a load of guaranteed tournaments, along with satellites to some really big tournaments. Those of you who have experience with these, what would you recommend? (On a side note, where can i find a colour legend for the Full Tilt lobby? I almost get a seizure when looking at it :lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppie Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Re: Best way to use a Full Tilt tournament ticket? Legend is on the side of the main page-Tourney Types-letter and colour coded. The guarantees are normally reached so i guess it depends if you want to go for it there and then-probably the best idea if it's already above your normal buy in. Can it be used for the $70 + $5 because if so they have a couple of knockouts if thats your preference. Use your filter so you only have your $75 buy in range and take your time to decide when it's best for you to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooloovoo Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Re: Best way to use a Full Tilt tournament ticket? Thanks for the input. Legend is on the side of the main page-Tourney Types-letter and colour coded. Yep, type letters is on the right side of the lobby, but i meant the colours of the different tournaments. This shows what i mean Pink, brown, blue and so on.... it doesn't seem to be mapped towards the type letters...? Gtd tournaments are displayed in pink, but what about the others?

Guppie Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Re: Best way to use a Full Tilt tournament ticket? Red means there is a Pro player in. Orange are regular stack satellites i think Purpleish deep stack satellites Pink Gtd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooloovoo Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Re: Best way to use a Full Tilt tournament ticket? Seems to be value in some of the $69+$6 gtd tournaments. For example, a $22,500 gtd is about to start in a few minutes. 22,500/69 = 326 players needed to fill the guarantee. Right now about 200 players registered which means $22,500 - ($69*200) = $8700 in overlay :loon Is this much of an overlay standard...? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooloovoo Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Re: Best way to use a Full Tilt tournament ticket? 260 entrants when it started, but Late Registration pushed it towards 300 now :( I guess they have late reg to minimize the risk of having to put up the overlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooloovoo Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Re: Best way to use a Full Tilt tournament ticket? Nice one! Well done! :clap Thanks :) Anyone know how lengthy these are? Quite late start time (midnight here). Could be tough to get to work monday morning, but on the other hand, if you get to the final table, you can probably afford a day off...! :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
