    180 players and it pays 40 spots? Is this some crazy ass free-roll?

    If you really want to take first, you're going to need to steal a LOT of pots around 50 players left. Everyone will have in their mind "make the money" in a tourney like this.

    No it's not a freeroll. It's 240 buy in but I plan on playing in the single table satelites for 40 bucks to get my ticket into this like I did last time. So there are 180 players average at 200 + 40 entry fee. 1st gets a minimum of 12,000, and it pays out to 40th position I am sure. We start with 2500 in chips and blinds go up every 20 mins.

    On another note what I've noticed in the single table satelites were guys who spent the entire day playing them and getting tickets into the main event. And on the main event day they would sell their extra tickets for profit. I plan on doing this this friday after work. Last time I played the satelite I got 2nd my first time and got my money back (the 40 bucks) the second time I took 1st place in 10 mins and got my ticket into the 200 + 40 event.

    This time I plan on trying to get as many tickets as possible and selling them for 200 which will save those people who buy into the main event 40 bucks and I gain a profit of 160 on each of them.

    heh I might call off work so I can do it early in the day when Im wide awake and well rested, rather than go to work then drive down there and do it. I think i'll make more money doing that than spending my day at work :rockpoker

    2500 TC starting, but what are the blinds? and 40 is an INSANE amount to pay. Look to get top 3 ONLY. 40-4 is not going to pay very well, due to how thin the money is spread. You need to play to win.

    Ok I just called my bad it's this: if they have 180 players TOP 18 get paid. if they have 200 people top 20 get paid. the blinds start at

    50/100
    100/200
    200/400
    300/600
    400/800 and so on every 20 mins

    What do you guys think about the other money making idea I mean I saw the guy do it, and I had guys asking me to play in the satelite to get them a ticket and that they would buy it off me for cheaper than they were asking at the casino.

    I think I should try to go to win like 4 or 5 of the single table satelites and turn around and sale the tickets. Or just do it all day and see how many I can win and turn around and sell them and start a small bankroll lol

    Very common to win multiple seats and to sell them off....

    Those are STEEP blinds for only a 2,500 TC stack (25 bb's. what our M Beav?) Pretty much gonna be an all-in slugfest. Just stay away from stupid PF situations and you'll do ok.
