I have built up some FT points and some academy points that I want to turn into $. I can buy a few tournament tickets, and step tickets with the points, but only step 3 tickets and above can be used for normal tournaments.

What do you guys think are the best tickets to buy to just make the money bubble? I normally play the $2 level so I am intimidated to spend all my points on 26 dollar tournaments.

Any suggestions?

ive played a few of the $3.30 step1 T-6max sng's for the money bubble of like $2.70 with FTP...
It works out at a profit if your winning everytime... as obvously points = -rakeback...

FTA points... i belive these do not affect your rakeback...
If i was you, id go for a 26$ tourny... play your A game and take down some big winnings

I am not set up for rakeback, so I don't really know anything about that.

I'll try, but I am running really bad for the last 10K hands. But Ill try the 26 dollar tournaments then. Any suggestions on an easy one?

Trying the 6max.

First try went out on bubble
2nd try I am short stacked and we are 5 handed 130 hands in! (every allin as been a sick suckout on this table the entire time)

I spent them all and bought a sh!# load of step one tickets.

I was able to go out in 4th place and collect $2.7 in the 2nd 6max i tried. We were 5 handed for over 150 hands. The blinds got to 120/240 before the bubble burst

theyve never done the socks lol...
I could get you a nice Jumper though :P

Those 26 dollars SnGs are an awesome deal to boost your bankroll. To get 3 or 4 of the top 2 spots its a nice thing. At least if you play on low stakes. Cuz that wont matter shit to you if youre on 200NL lol. If not there is nothing really usefull you can do with FT point but to stack them up and buy awesome electronics! There is plenty of stuff to get there. How much do you have?
