Official FTP Relaunch Thread (OP updated October 26, 2012) - Page 133 - Poker News

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I have a couple of questions about my existing FT points. I have about 15k points in my account, and it sounds as though it’s possible to transfer them to Stars.

a) What does 15k FT points equal in Stars VPPs?
b) If I transfer them to Stars, will this affect any bonuses I have on FTP?
c) Is there any time limit by which time I can transfer them to Stars?
d) If I make a cash transfer from Stars to FT or FT to Stars, before making any points transfer, will this affect my ability to make a points transfer?

I’m looking at trying to aim for Supernova on Stars next year, so I’m wondering whether I can transfer the FT points on 1st January next year to boost my Supernova push. Any drawbacks with doing this?

You cannot transfer points.You can only transfer cash

^ They are being run as separate businesses so the idea you would get loyalty bonuses from stars for playing at FTP is highly unlikely imo.

You could try clicking the show full cards, and or Standard cards at all sizes in the options.

Hi andy,

I just did that and its slightly better but the cards on the flop are really small, there is alot of space on the table for them to be made bigger i think if full tilt can increase the size when you tile tables. I really didnt think they used to be this small.
Juast compared it to pokerstars and the cards on pokerstars are much bigger.

$200 is the minimum. Maybe they decided you deserve more

.
I think they will correct any mistakes though so I wouldn't worry too much.

Ungar, FTP cards pictures on your screenshot - is it from some mod? Looks very nice.

It says that I am unable to download until Oct 31st, but it is Nov 2nd. Is there another way to download the software?

Ungar: you could try resizing each .SVG file for the cards from 50x70 to maybe 65x91 by using Inkscape then change some settings in the layout.xml so the numbers don't overlap the cards.

settings for smallest window view:

And I got the probably max $1k bonus but lets not go back to old FTP ways please.

Well simple answer really,I imagine the more you have played and raked before black friday happened the bigger the bonus you will get.Imagine a player who averaged 8 hours a day at the table getting the same bonus as someone who logged on for a hour or two every now and then for a laugh,makes no sense to issue every one the same.The more you played the bigger your reward will be....simple.

Many thanks! Will give it a try, I like that it says "10" not "T" for ten. Really makes it easier to read.

There doesnt seem to be a formula to determine the exact amount but this was always the tendency.

not really, if you can put mods in your folder you could do it. some notable settings that you might need to adjust:

Code:

<board x="398" y="195" dx="-7" dy="83.0" spacing="2.0" rx2_dy0="-27" rx2_dy1="46" />

Code:

  <podcardsspacing>
    <values vector=" 0; 0" />
    <values vector=" 0; 0" />
    <values vector="35;65" />
    <values vector=" 0; 0" />
    <values vector="16;16" />
    <values vector="16;16" />
    <values vector=" 0; 0" />
    <values vector="15;15" />
  </podcardsspacing>

Code:

  <tablepots dx="0" dy="0" id="2" >
    <tablepot x="343" y="170" />
    <tablepot x="536" y="250" />
    <tablepot x="536" y="280" />

I am sure it's been discussed but I dont know what to look for in order to know the answear.

Since the FTP debacle, do we at least have the right to create another account so we can have a new nickname ?
