This. Especially the Multy entry ones. Also Rush tournaments and Rush on demand Sngs were amazing. Full Tilt Poker was so awesome, don't change anything imo.

Can't wait for FTP to be back up and running.

+1 to the flat rakeback of X% with the oppurtuniy to earn ironman, medals etc.. On top of the flat %.

Please keep the tournament level structure the same, where they would start with say 10 min levels, then go to 15 min as it got med/deep and eventually reached 20 min for the last few tables where the huge equity is. This was really innovative and exactly the kind of thing that made tilt>>>>>stars.

Also to encourage action and discourage nit/bot mass tablers it would be nice to see some big changes happen with cash games like only 6 max and heads up, or even some new kind of hybrids like 8 and 3 max, that would be really epic.

The biggest question is still unanswered:

Where is my black card?

****yes the 8.80 token tourneys.

Also this may be divided but the Rush On Demand tourney SNG things were a great idea (the ones which start with a certain amount of ppl but you can late-reg).

While this may seem minor to most, if/when FTP comes back to us US players, this is pretty significant to some of us....

fulltilt also needs to keep the 5/10c NL omaha h/l tables. stars only offers 5/10c rush.. the non-rush on FT was like the most profitable thing for low-levelers ever.

Definitaly a good idea. I have always liked playing with only 2 other players so 3 max tables would be awesome and would create very interesting dynamics at the tables.

US players sat on points and medals for years b/c of the monthly updates you provided. You constantly would tell us how the US store would improve so many of us didn't spend our points.

If you truly are sorry you will do everything in your power to work with your new employer and pay us back the points we earned if the DOJ stiffs all US players on points.

I have 40 or 50+ months in Iron Man and something over 100k points. some players have 1 mil points. I can't remember exactly how much I have b/c your old employer stole my money and I had to wait over a year to hear anything about it.

give us back our pts if it becomes regulated in US, i dont care if i wait a decade. i want the value of my points.

You encouraged us to sit on them so we did. now we have ****. If you are sorry, do everything you can to make sure we get our money.

Did FTP purposely keep Season 1 of Alf and other useless crap nobody would buy in the us store so everyone would save up there points and get screwed? brilliant strategy.

I feel like a dick for posting this b/c Pokerstars owes us nothing. But i feel like you do.

will there still be a link with Cardrunners, so that earning full tilt points credited you with free access to the CR site? i think it was called trulyfreepokertraining.com iirc.

Our money was stuck in there for a year and a half. Now we're getting it back, I'm not whining. Of course I'm ecstatic about it as the next guy.

But before when it was GBT who wanted to take over or any other investors in that matter, I always thought if they don't make huge promotions I'd cash out and move to PStars. New owners cannot act if nothing has happened. I know whatever happened is not their fault. But if you can't take the blame, don't take the name!

Now PStars is the one taking over kinda blocked that strategy. I mean I can't make peace with myself if not only they won't do anything for the customers who wants to stay loyal and still play in there, but there are even speculations about PStars changing rakeback on FTP so that would even F us up more.

I know PStars is the savior in all this, but they made a 'deal', they ain't doing charity. So I believe they should make efforts to compensate somehow the pain this company has caused as the new management.

To better days..

I for one hope that FTP maintains a fair amount of autonomy in its software, game offerings, tournament blind structures, rakeback, promotions, etc.

Variety is a good thing, and FTP had a lot of things that appealed to casual and mid-volume players.

+1. I will start playing again if it stays like it was before.
I do not like stars at all so I do not play currently.

What i miss the most is:
27% rakeback for everyone. Which means I can join the same SNG as everyone else since the breakeven point between being a winning and a losing player is the same for everyone. On Stars RB varies between 10-63% RB which means a person being gold star cannot join the same games as a SNE and expect to be winning (Yes many of the 100$+ games players only profit from rakeback, and unless you got enough rakeback you are a losing player).

Shorter/shallower HU in 9m SNGs.
Mid year bonuses that is not deducted from RB (basicly a free 600$).
Iron man
Black card
Happy hour.
SNG madness.
No antes in SNG and the better structure.

I ordered a bunch of items from the FTP store pre-shutdown that I never received. How will Full Tilt be dealing with past orders - will they resend the purchased items or reinstate the amount of FTP points spent?

Being an American living in Germany and having played and using my US pass port as ID validation - I think I can safely answer this.

Yes.
