I can't decide which $24+$2 tourney to enter to get the best value out of my token. Opinions welcome.

Thanks,
JFH11

That depends on what your goal is.

If you'd like to play a satellite for the Borgata, or in the 200K guaranteed event (both $200+$16 buy ins), then spend the token on one of those $24+$2 satellites. If you'd rather take a shot at a large field "normal" tournament, then play one of the $24+$2 6K guaranteed events.

I'd think about which end goal you have and then move accordingly.

Win a $4.00+$0.40 SNG or finish high enough in a MTT with the same buy-in to win one.

so getting these tokens enables you to compete in big satellite tournaments for free?

That's right. It's how Chris Moneymaker entered the 2003 WSOP Main event, though it was not earned through FTP.

Watch your advice turn him into the next world champ grip. Lol. He'll enter a 4$ satt and when his way up to the 200+16 and win that! Then he'll suck out on a few people and win the WSOP Main Event 2006

I would hold on to the token.

If you don't know which tourney to enter with it, save it until a tourney comes along that grabs your interest.

Or, even better, save it until you go bust. Then you can use it to enter a guaranteed cash tourney. That's what I did, and I avoided redepositing.

It's always good to save for a rainy day.
