Spending Full Tilt Points?

**TYggShipIt** · 10-08-2009 05:09 PM

So i got about 18,000 full tilt points, I do recieve Rake Back but the stakes i'm playing its nothing that i'm going to miss..

I'm not interested in any of the FT Gear, although that avatar would be sweet, but not going to happen in the near future..

My question is should I use my full tilt points for Buy in's to sat's and such? And which in your opinion are actually worth it? Last thing i want to do is use 18k in points end up with MTT Sattys which i dont place and go seriously 100% broke..

Anyone with experience spending these points?

spend these on tournaments if possible. Tournaments that don't have overlay will not affect your rakeback. However, this is really only useful during Miniftops. I would use them on 1800 ftp sngs where top 3 get 26 dollar tokens and 1200 ftp sattys to the double deuce where u get like 4300 ftps if u win. Once you get a few more points, i'd play the 3500 ftps satty to the brawl where 36 people get seats. Usually more than 10%get paid and it is pretty soft.

Sound good but seems expensive.. Risking 1/10 on 1 tourney.. eek.. love hearing suggestions though.. keep'm coming!?

I say just use them to stack up on $26 tokens. Or enter the double deuce for 4400ftp and get the big payday.

I am not sure what you mean by "sounds expensive." When using FTP to play real money tournaments on Full Tilt, you can gain $1 of tournament entry for every 200 points. Since you don't want the gear they offer, I would say that you are getting good value anytime you convert the points to money.

As someone pointed out, the miniFTOPS are one of the best ways to do this.

My biggest online cash came via points.. used 300points in 9man sng that paid only 1st into 2500sat into the $535 buyin 1.5mill GTD which i took 33rd and won $5k..
So in my opinion i think you should use them for satellites into the bigger tourneys.. Which if your wanting to play them and win big you can or if your sticking to BR management and the buyin (say $535 like that one) is out of your roll you can always just take the buyin in Tournament dollars. Either way a BIG score for sum "FREE" points..

This option of playing the super sats. also allow you to not use too many "expensive" on one tourney as well.. and theyre normally pretty easy.
In my experience with points tournaments (and ive played ALOT) Is that players normally play them as if they were a freeroll, pushing allin alot and playing super super loose trying to chip up and wait out the money
But I would say the supersats if you dont wana spend so much on one tourney..they have the 650point ones that pay top two into 2500point sat to the $750k..thats an easy one..

I think the saturday early evening 100 seat guarantee for the sunday 750k is a great way to spend points. I think I do pretty well in these cuz it is a donk fest.
You can buy in with points to the double deuce as well.
