    I recently won a seat to the FTOPS ME on FTP and was thinking about taking a shot today. If you had the choice would you play the FTOPS ME or 2 other Majors like Milli/Warm-up etc...?

    If the $500 (i think that's was it is anyway) is a decent size addition to your BR I'd just take the money. If you don't mind losing 500 or are just in a shot taking kinda mood ... glglglglglglglglgllglglglgl. Just make sure you play your A game.

    Thanks for the thoughts everyone. My roll is about 7k. I play mainly $10-$75 MTTs, so the padding would be nice, but that top prize is mouth watering!

    If your BR is 7k it's a no brainer. Play the main event.

    I thought about it hard and the $500 is too much right now. I have had BR managment problems in the past and really try to play with average 200 BIs for MTTs. Still in the $129 KO...hopefully I run good!
