so ive never played even a 50r before but i feel like taking a shot in the 100r.

i run like shit on tilt obv tho, but i obv have the bankroll for it after my score.

FTOPS events tend to be filled with sooooo many satellite players who are not up to par for the buyin of the event, and the rebuys are filled with lots of people who satty in with no intention of rebuying at all.  With that much dead money and the discrepancy in play vs the buyin, and the fact that you are certainly rolled for it, I'd say you should most certainly play it... and good luck.

FTOPS is for taking shots...that's why I'm not doing it (LOL)...but so many ppl just do one shot and quit....my god you have almost 200k...I think you can burn up to 2k in this and maybe cringe a little :)

EDIT: 200k in one mtt.

deoxy it would be highly unlikely to spend 2k in it ppl dont gamble that much in 100r's tbh obviously some tables are an exception but i would say expect to spend 1k max usually 300-700
and bef99hwk ur nittyness tilts me to no end

Agree with all of ur post....I just threw out 2k and meant that he could spend that much somehow and still be completely fine no matter how bad he runs in the rebuy period.  Obv won't/shouldn't be close to that.  And yes, my own nittyness tilts me+everyone who lives with me lol.  Sick image post tho ha :)

If your even thinking of taking a shot, I'd suggest this event. I'd be willing to rebuy probably at least 3 times (possibly more). I'm no where near rolled to play an event like this but If I were, I'd jump all over this. With your level of talent, and with the scores you've acheived lately, I think this would be a great shot for you to take.
