actyper;257215 wrotePlayed #29 yesterday, turbo cashout, I guess I didn't really understand what these cashout tournies really meant. Theres a whole different strategy to these. A guy cashed out in 7th for around $24k total including his 7th. 1st paid out $25k. Also for some reason 2 mtt regular cashed out right before the final table bubble. You also didn't make your money back until way later, 216ish paid out, you didn't get your $ back until 90ish. Can't remember what the cashout chips were worth. Anybody play these cashout tournies regularly?
He didn't "cash out" 7th if you mean that in the sense of a cash out tourney, but yea he got a huge part of the cash out prize pool. Basically the strategy is rape the final table bubble so you get a good portion of the cashout pool when you make it to FT. Essentially just play your normal mid-late game without ICM considerations (well there still are, but since half your $$ is based off of your chip count going into the FT, that's really important). So it's like a race to get chips for when 10th place busts. Also no one should be cashing out before FT afaik, I'm not sure which regulars cashed out, but they probably either a) weren't regulars or b) don't understands cashouts. Afaik your EV is always higher than your EV for cashing your chips out in any given situation.
