I bought 4x 20$ SnG hero tickets with my partypoker points. I just played 2 of them. In the first one I got to almsot 1400 chips then lost 4 all ins in a row so I wasn't lucky there but it was just a 2x spin (40$ prizepool).
In the second one the spin was 80$ and this time I was happy to not be bounty again. I busted a guy after only 3 hands with my A10 vs his A9 blind vs blind. He called my 4bet shove with the worst hand and my A10 held Then I busted a guy who limped KK with my 84 suited (flopped bottom 2 pairs) and easily won the heads up with Q10 suited turning a set vs his ace high. I just couldn't lose a hand. Hopefully I can do well with my other 2 tickets, they are very nice bankroll boosters xD (107$ CAD profit)

well this is great, unless you actually buy 4 tickets and go out with many hopes to change your financial life and such and go busto in all of them holding aces and kings vs villains rags... but hey this is not your life story, you managed to win one for a fatso $80 and still have 2 shots left...congratz

Am i mistaken to say that your Party Points are money. IMO it is so you bought four tickets and played two at $20.00 each and won $80.00 so your profit is $40.00 and not $80.00.

WTG !!! TheMachineQC ruling That's a very nice way to use your points. I usually exchange mine's for STT or MTT ticket's. It's way much more lucrative than simply exchange it for money. As for the STT's, when I have no points and want to use my own money, I rather play the 8 player 50/50 SNG, you have a 50% chance to win since it ends after 4 players are dead. The one's on P0KERSTARS, you get paid by the amount of chips you have in the end, and I already managed to 4X up the buy-in at some of them. Once these STT's are turbo I make some several double ups in short time

Unless that in your opinion points are not money.
However a profit is always nice to take.
Yeah of course but since party are going to remake the whole points system we have to use them in the next month or we will lose them. And most of these points came from the riddle. Thing is, a jab (5,50$) ticket usually costs like 155 points, so buying these new 20$ or 100$ SnG hero tickets gives you about 4x the value for your points. That's why I bought these tickets, not because I am a fan of the format xD

With your explanation now i understand very good and your move was what you had to do. Congratulations for your move and win.
what a nice interesting profit you made there with just only loyalty points and the other good news is that you still have tickets left to surely add more cash to your balance so I wish you good luck buddy

Many congratulations to you on winning this Sit and Go and, with another two tickets left, i hope you can add to this. You seemed to hit every hand on your way to winning but, sometimes, you have to run well to win these things

A goof use of your points there. If party poker didnt have this change on the horizon, you may had used your points, in another way, getting different results But so far so good. Good luck with the other two tickets.

Very well played, TheMachineQC! For 160 PartyPoints you can purchase a $20 Sit & Go Hero ticket and for 800 PartyPoints you can get a $100 ticket? That's an absolutely irresistible deal to me. I really need to check out the full lineup of items on sale at PartyPoints store!
A wonderful investment of points and the most important thing is that you managed to turn tickets into tickets ..... of course these tournaments are very fast and the chance of winning is not very great because there are not many chips and one should hope for luck ... but the main thing is that everything ended well

Yes it is indeed a very good deal compared to the ones prieviously available. I still have 2 20$ tickets and a jab ticket (they have 1 month expiry date which is nice), I will probably use them soon. I have about 110 points remaining so if I can manage to make 50 more points before 22nd may which should be easily doable I'll be able to buy another ticket. I don't know when the sale ends though.
It is a good value the spins for the points only difference with Party Poker's format and 888Poker is the bounty prize. I have played close to 900 blast sit n goes in the past month mostly $1 buy ins and biggest multiplier was a 10x next one up 100x is 1 in 2500 the right click at the right time. Good luck

Sorry my friend, I am not yet rich enough to give away my money to random european players with 1 post on the forum I think the most important thing you can get is poker knowledge not money. Read, watch profitables pros play ect. Money is secondary. Once you're a winning player, all you need is to play a high volume and take advantage of all bonuses available on poker rooms, because they are rakeback afer all.

i personally am totally shocked that there is nothing for our bulgarian friend with 1 post on the forum out of all of this situation. i mean we should be more respectful and generous to a guy who after being a member of this site for 4 years finally gets enough courage to fire away the 1st post...

Yeah, it is equivalent to a 25% ($20 ticket / 160 PartyPoints ($80 in rake/fee)) rakeback, which is pretty damn good. I don't find any better deal on the PartyPoints store at the moment. Good luck with your tickets/game.

Gratz for your nice cash with your second SnG ticket! That´s a really good return of investment of your points. It seems, to use some of your points at Party Poker for this tickets was a verry good idea and now you have the chance to win more with your next 2 tickets. GL
Then I busted a guy who limped KK with my 84 suited (flopped bottom 2 pairs) and easily won the heads up with Q10 suited turning a set vs his ace high. I just couldn't lose a hand. 
Hopefully I can do well with my other 2 tickets, they are very nice bankroll boosters xD (107$ CAD profit)
