So I've been playing these Round 1 Daily Freerolls over on FullTilt for the last few months! In the beginning I just played a straight game. After a while I started to realize that it just takes too long to sit there for nearly 2 hours battling donks for a ticket.......SO,....I decided to play them:
PS/BrM All In Shootout Donk Festival style
...as I do in the BrM Tourneys on PokerStars...!
Well,...it's payed off quite handsomely to the tune of 200 tickets,.....PLUS the approximately 25 or so that I have already used,...but I have the 200 banked up that are good for 10 years.
I only wished THAT strategy would pay off a little better in the PS/BrM tourneys, where I've only amassed about .15c or .18c so far shoving EVERY hand since that leaderboard started a few weeks ago and about 140 games since...

Thanks teddy...!
I don't think I'll EVER use them all because I win them WAY faster than I can ever use them. Maybe someday if FT doesn't offer this tourney anymore, I'll have enough banked up for the future.
PS has its promo 'Road To A Billion Hands',....well I'm on the 'Road To A Thousand Tickets'...
Hope to have 1,000 by next fall or so. I would share them with the Mobsters, but FT says they are NOT transferrable...
I had a bunch of tics from the NAPL (North American Poker League) that PS used to have,...but after Black Friday, they stopped it,...and then gave me credits for the tics I had banked up there...!
I'm thinking that if FT shuts down this tourney scheme,...then maybe I can get some OTHER kinds of tics in trade,...or maybe a few cents each for my tics....

Good work Demo, but do you not think that your time may be better invested in playing other games where you may win tickets or money that might be of benefit to you, cos essentially, if you are not going to ever get to use all those tickets, it's a bit of a waste of time and effort! Sorry to take the gloss of what is otherwise a preettty cool achievement that should be applauded.

That is a nice set of results you have going for yourself and many congratulations on winning the 200 tickets. You do seem to play a lot of Tournaments and you must be playing poker 24/7. I can only play about two tourneys before i get an headache!

It usually only takes 2 or 3, or maybe 4 hands to know if you're gonna get a ticket. If you don't get knocked out immediately, then you only need to win a few all ins. You know they're gonna call.
This is how it works:
300 Starting chips:
Games early in the day here, which is early in the evening in Europe, there are many players. You need to get a stack of about 1,500 - 1,800 chips, then just sit out. You will win the ticket.
In the evening here when all the Europeans are all tucked away in their beds,...you only need to win about 700 - 900 chips
1,500 Starting chips:
Daytime here: You need to win about 15,000 - 17,000 chips
Evening here: 7,000 - 9,000 chips
Essentially, you are only spending about 2 - 3 minutes playing to win enough chips or go out.
You just play these along with your other games while you are at your computer. Real easy with almost NO time invested...
Before I leave my computer for the night , I register in the 3 upcoming ones that are played overnight. About 30% of the time you will find you have won one while you are sleeping...
Picked up 3 more last night (1 while sleeping) for a total now of 203 tics
i've got 2 of the weekly
