Official FTP Relaunch Thread (OP updated October 26, 2012) - Page 146 - Poker News

+1 Tournament tickets are better value anyway (at least during the sale)

ie.
Tourney tickets:
$75 - 170fpp spent per $1.00
$26 - 176fpp/$1.00
$11 - 184fpp/$1.00

Ring Game tickets:
$10- 253fpp/$1.00
$25 - 250fpp/$1.00
$50 - 245fpp/$1.00
$100 - 237fpp/$1.00
$200 - 220fpp/$1.00

So if you want to fully-stack (auto-top on) it's best to use much bigger ticket value than the max-buyin of the table.

Eg:
If I want to play 50NL Rush fully stack (auto-top on) is it the $200 Ticket the biggest i can use?
What If i loose and the current value of the ticket goes under $50, I will be forced to play shortstack to still can use that ticket at 50NL ?

Shyam, please clarify this! Thanks!

Ur right, beside the fact, that Ring Game tickets will be like "real money", because i can use it to buy in for any ring game.

Tourney tickets will be be turned into "Real Money" as far as u reach ITM.
Therefore they are cheaper!

From the website:

Quote:

Use your ticket to buy in to the ring game of your choice whenever the ticket’s Current Value is equal to or greater than the minimum buy-in. If your ticket’s Current Value is larger than the maximum buy-in on the table, you’ll be able to use the remaining value to reload.

There are tons of people who want to play ASAP, but no one knows for sure what time FTP reopens.

probably will reopen around 13h cet which is 7h et (change in days to launch about that time)
BTW first of the freerolls starts at 8.05 et meaning it will be open before that.

people really can't recall 18 months to how these actually worked? if you have $25 on your ticket then $25 is all you can buy in for with it. as such, if you're one of these people who thinks that they will be executed by the secret poker police if they ever drop below a 200bb stack, then get a ticket that is a few times bigger than your standard stake

Sorry if this was asked before, but I couldn't find it through search.

How are they going to calculate the rolling averages from the relaunch? Suppose I start earning 250 ftps every day starting tomorrow, will I immediately get diamond status? Or will they:

1) really take the average of the last 100 days (would be lame because we weren't able to play

)
2) take the average of the last 100 playable days including the ones before shutdown

Why doesn't people just check the FTP Website?

There's a grace period for the "old IronMan" getting Diamond instantly, her it is: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/promotions/ironman

they probably dont know for certain what time they will be up themselves. They will have a target time in mind for sure but would be foolish to announce it to the nearest minute or second IMO. Technical tasks can be unpredictable and no need to cause more annoyance to players if they miss their target by a few minutes or hours

Beside that, there is the Mid-Year-Bonus, for all who qualified on old FTP as well as the depositer bonus for new customers.

It's well known that South Korea has the best Internet connection/ speeds in the world. Not sure what his post had to do with North Korea though!

Thank you Sherlock without your post I would know difference between them...

P.S
In general, what kind of tools and services are acceptable?

The following types of tools and services are generally acceptable:

Tools, services, or charts that simply tell you odds, starting hand recommendations, etc.
Tools and services that profile your opponents, but make use of only information which you have accumulated through your own play.
I guess GG to PTR.
