    I took all my money off of Full Tilt a few months ago, needed it in real life. I had been saving up for a Full Tilt chip set with my points, but now that I don't have any money left there, I was thinking about trying to qualify for some tournaments and see where that gets me.

    So what's the best use of 15,000 FTPs?

    those are good choices, but they also have 1800 pt 9-mans where top 3 get $26 tokens. not that bad of a deal i think.

    Play the 50 FTP 54 player Satellites to the $750,000 Sunday Guarantee. If you just play this, you have 300 buy-ins. That should be enough to get you at least a few entries and possibly cashing in the big on.

    these are super-satellites to the 2,5k FTP satellites.

    i would advise you to just play 6 of the 2,5k satellites, no need for 300 BuyIn-kind BR management with FTPs imho.

    Well, he could play the 300 FTP winner take all Sit & Go to the 2500K FTP Satellite. It's a little bit easier to satellite you way in doing it this way. With this route, he would have 50 buy-ins. I actually got an entry to the big tourney this way and cashed.

    I took some of these suggestions.. Won my way into the 2500 FTP 108 seat guarentee on Saturday to the 750k in a 500 point MTT. Also played and won a 1200 point SnG to the 50/50 tonight, where I'm 32/299 going into second break. If I cash there, hopefully I can work that into a bankroll of some sort again.

    And of course I'm saving up some points for stress balls.

    Totally agree! Do the 2,500 satty on satuday night to the 750k guarantee, and the 3500 satty to the sunday brawl saturday during the day. I have made my way through both of them on a few occasions (brag) and parlayed them into cashes. But I would advise to take the tournament dollars which I have also done.

    The 50ftp sattelites are not bad either. Plus if you can always satty into the daily double or midnight madness. With 12,000 ftps you could potentially take a big shot and try to getinto an FTOPS event. Not good FTP point management, though. GL

    The Brawl has been cursed for me.. Used to play it all the time, but get coolered around the bubble every time. Love the 750k, though.

    Right now sitting 5/267 in the 50/50 from points.. Trying to keep it going.

    Well, after one night of trying the point thing, it's working out. I just took 20th out of 950 or so in the 50/50 for $260 on a freeroll. I doubt that chip set was worth $100. And I still got 13,000 points left.
