Default what should i use my $75 token on FTP on?

so i took my roll of around 110 bucks and played a buncha sattys for $26 tokens and won 4 of them. I then lost 2 of them but turned one into a $75 token . so now my roll is at 0.99 cents lol, but ive got a 26 and a 75 token remaining. what u guys think i should use them on. p.s. u cant exchange them for cash or transfer them.

Hmmm you effectively took your 110 bankroll (manageable) and turned it into a 26 token an 75 token (not manageable) Basically you forced yourself to take 2 big shots 1 for 75% of your bankroll and one for 26% of your bankroll. I think you need to find a game that you have high cash rate. Heads up? I don't know you put yourself in a really interesting predicament.

use the 75 token for a 9 man sng, 26 token for a 90 person turbo sng or enter two big tournaments with them and DOMINATE THEM

I say,.. 'Donate them'. In the token frenzys you get a handful of regulars who are solid players and then a bunch of longshot takers as well. When you play in the $26 & $75 buy-ins,.. you get a TON of avid solid players and the occassional rich donk who doesn't care about losing money.
Fulltilt used to have a couple of these buy-ins (Mtt) with a 15% payout structure,.. now they're all only top 10% payout.
Agreed with comment re: Heads Up,... maybe if ya just go allin every single hand you'll get lucky??
Otherwise,... why not try to tier up again and go for the $216 buy-in,.. or go for the $1,000 Monday tourney.
Personally, I don't even consider even going in the token frenzys unless my bankroll is over $250, and then will only enter them as long as it stays above $250. To put it all on the line for a couple of tokies??.... Good Luck my friend,... I have a feeling that you will be needing it.

Maybe try watching a couple of the $26 sngs prior to playing in them. They are a completely different animal in comparison to the cheaper ones.

did a $26 90 person KO. 15 ppl left, blinds 500-1000 and i have around 7k. mp makes it 2222 with 9k behind, i push with black 8s on the button, he calls with K9 of clubs and the board comes AJ7 all spades, turn a red 4, river a red 9 ((. so then i do a $75 18 person and push with AK against 66 and JJ and the board comes QJxxx, sigh. now i really need my rakeback payment lol.

Default Your missing the best option in your situation

The best option for you is to play in the nightly KO tourney where the KO's are $15 of the $75. This way, if u dont cahs in the tourney at least u have a chance of getting some of your moeny back thru KO's. Ignore the rest of these fools/
