careful how you use "top player"

[GrandMelon]

So Im a cash game player with little tourney experience trying to qualify for the PCA (more the experience than the donkament). What would you recommend I do to try to qualify? Ive played a few rebuy qualifiers to the 650s and theyve been sick soft but Im not sure there worth my time when I could be grinding my normal games for a few hundo/hr (plus they dont run too often so I cant mass multitable then)

[BrandiFan]

if you're making a few hundred an hour playing cash, just buy some $W and play the $650s. I don't think you can get much more than $50/hr in expectation in rebuy sats (turbo or otherwise) especially if you don't have much sat experience.
I suppose it may be worth your time to play a couple so that you're comfortable with bubble situations when you get there in the $650.

Woot.

Won the FTP $75 25k Gtd for 8.5k yesterday.

For some reason I can give solid advice and [censored] but then when it comes to deep in a tournament I tilt really easily and spew a lot.

But yesterday I feel I played every hand perfectly so I feel awesome, as well as it being my first online MTT win and biggest cash by over $7500.

i am so sick of the blatantly rigged pokerstars account i have. for over 1 year its nothing but bad beats repeated over and over. its not fair. please mr lee jones or whoever turn off the 'auto lose' switch for mrshimsham. please, im begging you. im one of the few ass wipes who can't win his fair share of 70-30s, 60-40s, coinflips etc... hence im just a whining donkey, because all of your sex buddies will tell me that its just variance, and small sample size and they of course win 80% of their 70-30s, and 75% of their coinflips. im sick of hearing from the experts that the site is not rigged. play my account from my IP and then tell me its not rigged, and [censored] swongs. come on lee jones, help me out.

i dont wanna spend more than 3 or 4k trying to qualify so that could be gone pretty quick after 6 or 7 failed 650s.

I thought when you moved up they respected your raises...That's $109 of real money, not play right?
