Re: FTP Answers 10/15
Add DON sturctured shootout turbo MTT's.
I'm not saying pay out double or nothing but pay out like a normal shootout but use the DON structure so that top 5 from each 10 person table move on to the next round and everything starts over with 10 people each table and obv playing down to final 5.
2k entrants would last about 4-4.5 hours...
Add it quick or stars will beat you to it!

Re: FTP Answers 10/15
i dont like the idea of a cashout tournament. now there are going to be even less chips in play later in the game, making for short stackers as blinds get higher.
im also a bit confused as to how cashing out your entire stack works.
"When a player makes a full Cashout during a tournament, they are eliminated in their current place in the tournament at the conclusion of the hand. For example, if a player who is in 21st place completes a full Cashout, they are eliminated from the tournament in 21st place and the Cashout value of their chip stack is credited to their account. If the player making a full Cashout has made it to a paid place in the tournament, the prize amount from the tournament prize pool is also credited to their account."
cool, so if im in 1st place when we are itm with 200 people left i can just cash out and get first place money? that would save me a few hours
also, any chance we can get a 6 max 24+2 mtt?

Re: FTP Answers 10/15
Cashout tournaments seem like a cool idea in theory, bu they do not seem like they are being implemented correctly. I thought the idea behind them was that 100% of the prizepool would be able to be "cashed-out" at any time. This 50% does not make much sense. Im sure lots of dumb people will cashout early, but effectively your chips are only worth half of what you paid for them until you reach a payout spot. Passing on the opportunity for a payout spot would not seem to make sense for any logical player. So in that sense, why would I not just play a regular MTT?

You don't get first place money. You'll have 0 chips left after cashing out, so you're eliminated. You get the money for the last place that's still alive in the tournament.

that makes a lot more sense, its just that in the example he doesnt say how many people are left in the tournament. 21? i guess so. in that case why would anyone cashout completely when youre itm?

Re: FTP Answers 10/15
Doug, could you consider working with a content distribution network for the updates? It seems like every time there's an update, many people have problems downloading the new client, either through the updater built into the client or from the homepage.
I'm guessing it's a simple case of too many connections, not enough server capability which is what CDN systems are built to handle.

Re: FTP Answers 10/15
I like the speed aspect of the ante tables; heck, I'd like it if all tables worked like that, so the more that do, the better.
