I soon realized that all FFP has are R/A BAH again!!!
The worst part is that the prizes start at the minimum entry so a 5$+0.5 turney will have bottom prize at 5$ NOT even the minimum!! I have wrote them trying to explain the game to them because when you do a R/A then you would expect that people would make an entry, a rebuy and an add-on maybe only a entry and an add-on. If you do the first then you have to get into 5th place to break-even and that doesn't make any sense at all. I checked other sites and no one has the prizes this way because it doesn't make sense!
If you sattelite up to a top tourney then you will realize that it's a R/A and now that ticket is not worth much if other people R/A.
Until they change it, I won't be playing there again. Now I'm looking forward to see how their withdraw works and if it takes up to 8 weeks to get the money back...
Can't wait til the American government opens up for online poker again so we have some to choose from and don't have to settle with sites doesn't feel like a ghost town when you enter!
If I sound a bit frustrated, it's because I AM!! but at least I live in SoCal so I'm not freezing my butt off ;-)
Have a great anything guys
No doubt that the payout structure and format for their MTTs is weird and different, and it can be frustrating. Still think there is enough value in the guaranteed events to make it worthwhile in the long run.
I can just vouch for using Western Union for deposits and withdrawals, it was about as quick and easy as you could expect considering the state of poker in the US.
Definitely not a rep lol just another suffering US player trying to find a place to play and treated decently. I was one of the losers that got stuck on Poker Dominicano/freedom poker/scam over the summer so just thrilled to actually get a withdrawal and responses.
