Default Great Value on FTP

I dont know if these have been talked about yet but the $8.80 18man turbos for $26 tourney chips is a great value. I just discovered these yesturday and so far I have been using bap money to get my chips and enter $24's which is great since im only using $8 is allowed. Payouts are as follows


1-5 tourney chip
6th $14

the rest go home unhappy, if your good at turbos then you could make a killing getting tons of chips for cheap price. If you get a chip 1/3 times then you break even. I just won another one so far im 2 for 2 in these things.

Ya this is what I got the token in that I used for the KO tourny that I hit 2nd in. Basically one double and you can cruise to a token!!

I think the long term expectation in these for a good player is probably around 50%, but that being said if you are playing $26 MTTs or 45s, then this is a great way reduce variance.

My wife has run quite a few of these and I think she cashes about 50% of the time. She takes the tokens to the Tier 2 18-mans which pay the same ratios but pay out $75 tokens, then she takes those tokens to the $75 single table SNGs. She has made it to the $75 step 4 or 5 times, with at least 1 win and at least 3 cashes I believe.

If you play 38 of the $8.70 Turbos and win 50% you will have 19 $26 tokens. If you can cash 40% in the $26's. you should come out with 7 $75 tokens. If you win 1 (or 1 second and 1 third) of the $75s you break even. Any additional cashes are all profit

Don't know who the referral was, but if it was you, thanks. I've already +Repped him twice.

We could use another handful of jhill's around here. Stick around and spread the word.
