Default Cashing out of the Full Tilt $40K?

Big fish:

I donked my way into the $100+9 Full Tilt $40,000 through a $4 MTT (I flopped GOOT all night [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). My questions:

1. Should I take my shot? I have *NEVER* entered a MTT over $25. Ever. If I cash out, I can enter 4 to 10 of my normal entries. I have FT'ed and won a few $10 to $25 MTTs, but I still have much to learn.

If you advise to cash out, how? I looked at the tourney lobby and there was no "un-register" button. I sent support an email asking if its possible.

2. If I play, anyone have any experience with this event? Any trout to be aware of? FT is pretty far off the beaten path, but I like it.

Thanks in Advance,

Beachman

How much will you regret losing the 109? Are you building a BR or just screwing around?

I'm fairly sure Full Tilt is like Party - if you win, you have to play.

Oh, and don't do anything dumb in the tournament. In the first two rounds, don't overvalue even TPTK. In the later rounds, play to maintain when you're going card dead - if you're not getting service, don't try to do too much. Also, run good.

This is the best advice I can give for Full Tilt's bigger tournaments.

I don't care at all about the $109. My BR has several zeros behind it as I have a full time job that pays more than the bills.

I don't want to waste my time if I'm in too deep. Its more a question of how different are the larger buy-ins. I have won a PS $22 180, 2 Full Tilt $10 MTTs of 200+ runners, 3-4 UB $10 Limit MTTs, and FTed a slew of FT/UB/PS <$25 MTTs.

I feel pretty comfy there, but never had this opportunity. I entered with $4 on a lark & after 4-5 beers.

Thanks, OSU. I saw you recently had some luck at the $1K. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Looks like I'm playing if un-registering isn't an option. Go me!

Beachman,

The difference between an FT 24+2 and an FT 100+9 is a dozen Internet pros and a bunch of railbirds (and maybe more chips, I forget). Otherwise, the play is exactly identical and bad. Don't worry about it.

Play it and be amazed at how much softer it is than you expected...

I don't know I played the Full Tilt 40k Guanenteed on Saturday and took 4th place. I kinda felt it was soft, though difficult the people weren't very agressive.

The 4 grand is a nice reward from playing with softies
