    I am a low limit sng grinder (Recently $10 buy-in average, Driew on Starsand FTP)and have managed to burn through all my cash on FTP just to seehow many tokens I could get and then go for larger change.

    My situation is as follows on FTP... cash= $5.30
    $26 tokens= 18
    $75 tokens= 4

    what would you do from here to most efficiently utilize these tokens and not go broke before I run out??

    I'd take the $75 tokens and play in 4 SNG's.

    Then, I'd prob. play in the 26K or the 14K a bunch of times with the $26 tokens.
    Be careful though, they are both major donk fests for the first two hours.

    This is one part of FTP that is severely lacking, the ability to convert to T$/W$ and the ability to unregister from a tourney (won via satellite).

    Not really sure what answer you're looking for other than "play an mtt and place ITM". Depending on confidence leve, you may want to play in the ones earlier in the day where the fields are drastically smaller. It's few places paid but probably less donks in the minefield that you need to maneuver through.

    Don't play the Daily Doubles. High rake and huge field full of donks.

    First learn how to play razz, then what he said.

    BTW, the weekend tourneys usually have an overlay, but the weekdays often make the guarantee.

    Margaud -

    The rake in the Daily Doubles is no different than any of the other 10+1 tourneys Daily Double = $10 entry + $1 Rake + $1 Jackpot entry, where is the xtra rake? And yes, it is a huge field full of donks, so run goot and get it in ahead...

    I thought playing tourneys with donks is what we want?

    19K and 26K on FTP. Huge fields around 1000 entrants. 50% are usually gone by the first break. The 19K runs roughly to 2 am-ish EST. 26K until 4:30 am-ish
