    Default Making FTP my tourney poker site

    I'm a cash game player, and 90% of my roll is at Pstars, but I have built up a 1K BR on FTP playing rushhhh, and have decided that I would like to play some MTT's every now and again. Since I don't get RB on FTP it's now my tourney poker site, so I come here to ask you:

    What tourneys should i play?

    I'm guessing everything is pretty soft but I was thinking about playing the $11 rebuys to start until I book a good win.

    Any suggestions? Also haven't practiced MTT bankroll strat anywhere what $$$ should I be playing with a 1K roll?

    I wouldn't play $10r without at least a 4-6k roll. For big 1k+ field MTTs I think you should have at least 100 buyins. Stars has more tournies to choose from, but FTP has some $10 freezeouts and $3rebuys that would be okay. You might want to check out the $12 rush turbo 135-man SnGs once you build a little more...they are incredibly soft

    I use 200 BIs for freeze outs/ 1000 BIs for RBs for regular events, loosen up a little during FTOPS/COOP.

    100/500 is probably OK since it seems like your volume is mostly cash. Make sure you play the $10 super stack(s) that fit your schedule, soft with good structure.

    It isn't about skill level, I'm sure you'd do fine in a 10RB or 24/50 freeze, it's just about risk. So if you are OK with reloading from PS if it goes bad I would add that BR in. I can always use more money on stars if you get low.

    QFT

    If you don't really care about losing the money on FTP, you can play pretty much whatever you want. If you want to be conservative about it, I would play $11 FOs max. For $11s, I would limit huge fields and play smaller ones if possible. If you are being conservative, I would avoid rebuys until the BR is bigger.

    Disclaimer: I am a huge BR nit.

    Cool thanks for the responses

    I think I will play some FO's then prob the $20 ones, I think I can take a bit more risk since I do have a larger roll with which to pull from if I have to.

    BTW Congrats Courtie on the huge cash!

    Does FTP have $22s aside from the double deuce? You'll be playing mostly $26 then, which means you'll only have like 40 buyins. Hopefully you just run good and don't need to worry about it

    I like small fields with guaranteed prizes. The over lay is so sweet. Its like getting odds to play.

    I like those too. That's the main reason why I still play on Absolute. But you're right, it's difficult to find those on PS, not sure about FT as I mainly only played rush.

    I've never seen a small field MTT on Fulltilt w overlay? (and have rarely seen any MTT's on FT with overlay... occassionally the 50-50 & the DailyDonker, but neither are small fields (~1,000 & ~10,000 entrants).

    OP you might want to try the $3rebuy on Fulltilt too ($10,500guar. at 20:35) and the SuperStack $10+1 as already mentioned.
    The $26donkaments don't have much play in them once the blinds get going. By second break they're pretty much a shovefest as there'll be many resteal-sized stacks on the tables (& SS's).
