24h player point race advice
So I've been invited to a 24 hour player point race this tuesday on betsson. 45 something players who know some betsson VIP guy was invited by him and the first (and only) price is a sponsorship for 15 online "grand series of poker" events worth around 2500 dollars total.
You get 1 point for every raked cashgame dollar and 5 points for every tournament rake dollar. How should I best approach this with my 1,2k dollars to have a decent shot at winning, never done anything like this before

I might try my luck playing turbo DoN's (they're pretty high rake) as much as I can for as long as I can, I don't really have anything to lose
Good luck!
While I have benefited in a lot of promotional races, as soon as I see on the leaderboard that it is not worth the extra effort, I stop racing and just play my normal +EV games.
you don't feel like you're overreacting slightly? I get that you want to make your point across but the way you wrote it is just propaganda playing on peoples emotions. The DoN tournaments are right in my comfort zone and I've played and studied them quite a bit before, only reason I don't grind them harder is because of the high rake lowering my roi. I'm smart enough to quit if I feel like I'm messing up after 10 hours.
Also I'm really suprised hearing the words no guaranteed cash coming from you. You're definitely smart enough to realise that it's 2,5k tournament entries and like 3-3,5k $EV. sure you can bust all these soft euro tournaments even though you are an all around players with solid roi's for all the games played but that's just variance, really suprised you didn't instantly see that for what it was. If someone offers you 1000 dollars cash or a 1200 $EV spot you take the 1200 $EV spot every time unless the variance is ridiculous.
so what your saying is i need to run all my poker decision by you guys because i still don't understand whats going on ????
