fandango:
Nice score John! I haven"t looked at schedule, but perhaps why not use the T$ to play more than one event?

Good luck whatever you choose may you run well..

AAroddersAA:
Really easy snap take the T$ for me.

They exist, they are basically the same as real money (assuming you were going to play tournaments on there anyway) and you will make more than the $530 by playing them. The razz event may well be soft, I would not know, but it sounds like to big of a shot (depending on your bank roll, I don"t know what that is).

That"s just me though gl with whatever you decide.

MintTrav:
So that"s that decided then. I"ll either:

- Play the game for full value, as Waz & Steve said
- Play it and sell half, as Wayne & Adam said
- Bank it and use it to play a number of events, as Andrew, Carl & Rodders said
- Sell the T$ at 80-90% value, as Andrew also said

Thanks for the input - it has helped to clarify things for me. I"ve now got more options than I thought I had to start with. It would have been simpler if I came second and got paid in real withdrawable beer tokens instead of this, cos I wouldn"t have considered buying in.

One thing I know is, I ain"t selling them at a discount. I think I"ll go the staking route, if I can find anyone who wants to come along. This is kind of a combination of all the options, as I get to play with the grown-ups and to find out whether my star would have soared in this event and I still have a possibility of a good payout, albeit a percentage of what I might have won, though with less concentrated risk, but I also get to spread my buy-ins over more than one tournament.

I might test the water to see if I can sell part of the Razz, say 60%, which would use $200. There are a few $300 + $20 tournaments I would like to play, ie Stud, Badugi, 2-7, so if the Razz sells, I might spread the rest across those and try to sell the balance (or 50% if that is too much).

Denis67:
Very well played John and good luck whatever you decide to do

Dear John

I"m worried about how to beat boredom during those long live poker afternoons. I was watching the Damon Hill lookalike on my left at the ECOAP last weekend, and he seemed to have a desire to lean back and balance chips on his forehead, but clearly got it very wrong. Do you have any thoughts on how to improve the tilted forehead chip stack balance for future weekends?

Thanks

Dear Boring

You may have heard the expression "Old accountants never die - they just lose their balance". Well, I earn my keep in the accounting trade and I have clearly lost mine, as the waterfall of chips demonstrated.

I used to have no problem balancing untold quantities of chips, as you can see below, but that was before the old-timers disease kicked in.



Chip-balancing is a skill developed by experience. If you wish to develop this skill for yourself, I suggest that you try to go deeper in tournaments in the future than has been your usual practice. That way, you can build a large stack of chips, which you can then practice balancing.

Now, what was I doing?

John
