    Hey, you're making it tperty deep in the freerolls tperty consistently, it seems. Just need to get over that middle hump where you need to double up a couple times and maintain till the last 50 or so.With the play chips if I were you, I'd stick to the 9 person sng's for a while I find them much more +ev over the long haul. It takes a little longer to build up the bank, but if you can multi table successfully, you can make it to 500k tperty quickly. Just need patience. When I did it, I treated the playchip bankroll like it was a real $ bankroll because, in fact, I was using it to get real $$. I got it up to 3 mil I think, and shaved off 500k any time it wouldn't drop me below 2 mil. That way I always had about 4 buyins as a cushion. It was easy to win the 100k/9 sngs, so that was a buyin right there (or close to it). While I was building the playchips, I stayed with the 10k games until 1 mil (boy THAT was a grind!) then went for the 100k games. If I fell below 800k, I had to go back to the 10k games again. It seems silly to take playchip games seriously, but wen you can make them into real $$, then take that and build a real $$ bankroll .Keep up the good work! Make yourself a plan where you won't touch your $$ until you hit a certain number that makes you comfortable. Stay away from the multitable $$ games until you have a decent bankroll, the time between cashes can be brutal. My .02c2a2 (oh, and just because we'd been talking about them so much, I played a few playchip games recently it was fun a friend of mine equated it with being the big daddy in the pool swatting all the kids around love that analogy)
