After putting in some crazy hours 5 tabling 2/4 and 3/6 I got the 132,000 for
the Samsung 40" LCD (neither the Sony nor the 50" are available in the uk)
But after shopping around a little I think I can do a better deal locally plus
get to choose from a number of TVs so I reckon thats what I'll do. (The deals
can only get better in the Jan sales too)
Soooo.....,as ive also had a couple of knocks lately ,now to convert them to
cash
125,000 will "buy" me $1,585 (with those Reward Bonuses)
121,500 will buy me T$1,935 (9 sunday entries)
(I think Id be able to sell the $T1,935 for about $1,750 , or just keep em and
use em which is obv no help as far as cash games go but thats ok as I do play a
fair amount of tourneys too)
Am I able to buy a ticket , unregister , buy another , unegister etc or would I
have to do one each week ? (or better still ...does buying a ticket just add
$T215 to my account?)
Oh yes ....for those that wished me well about my lung problems before
(ContactGSW and CHarrison spring to mind) ..thank you and I have finally found
the courage to go ahead and have most of the right lung removed (Apparently the
bubbles (bullae) have grown and could very easily burst which , im assured ,
would NOT be good)
Im going in on Monday the 18th and I just hope that I'll be out for xmas and
that the luck im currently seeing with the cards doesnt follow me into the
operating theatre

Seriously, good luck on that.
On your less important concern, I'd probably go with the T$ option and convert
to cash, or else play the tournaments. I believe the Million Ticket thing has
been discussed here, though, and you can only actually play the Million with
it, not convert it.

You say 121,500, so that's 13,500 each, which sounds like this thing:
http://www.pokerstars.com/fpp/store/tournaments/500k/
"Note: tickets are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and non-refundable. This
ticket must be used by the buyer to play in the designated event. If you
register and then unregister from a target tournament, your ticket will be
returned; you will not receive Tournament Dollars (T$)."
You should only buy this if you actually intend on playing the Million.
If you're +EV in that, it is probably worth doing from that perspective,
but at this point, the massive number of FPPs you have are basically
part of your bankroll. From a bankroll consideration, you might be
better off cashing out for real money. I'd take whatever option gives
you the best value per FPP, or mix it up by getting some cash and
some Million tickets.

It's been posted here that those tickets can't be converted to $T. You
should check with support.

My advice to you with 132,000 FPPs is to play in the 5400 FPP one table
sit and go satellites. Ten player table and four get into the Sunday
Million. These seats can be converted into $T.

I wish you the best with your operation.
