Or is it not planned to discuss these things for now and will we most likely not see FTP back on these networks in the foreseeable future?
Great question, please answer...

The only thing these offer is a way to make more rake from each player, because normally they would only make .20 cents from a 2.00 Reg MTT, now that MTT you can buy in 4 different times, obvs most if not all would do it , just to compete with others, so instead of .20cents they would make .80cents off each player, very easy way to raise money tho if you needed it, but these are bad for players and the MTT community as a whole IMO.

Anyways my only solid reason I can come up with that make Multi Entry MTT good are that the site makes more rake.

That is all.
All the recreational players I know love mtts with more people, higher 1st place, etc.

Would you rather play an mtt with 1000 or 5000 people? If the latter why does it matter how many unique people are there?

I'm an American player who moved his account to Canada after BF. As I understand it, the account will be considered Canadian. Is that correct?

When I moved to Canada, I had two outstanding withdrawals which I had requested but had never gone through. Will that money be returned to my account?

I had one successful withdrawal in Canada, then made a 2nd withdrawal just before you shut down. That withdrawal also never went through. Will that money be returned to my account?

Thank you


Edit: To be specific, I requested a check just before you shut down but it was never sent. I do not want the check sent. Can I have the money returned to my account instead?

Yes you have a point, however I do not want to multi table. Get it, I want to enter once, and If I only enter once, my odds are way down when everyone else is entering the MTT 4-6 times, (I think I seen one of the Sunday Majors last going off you could buy in 8 times, LOL at this) This is not poker, Multi Table should be left for Cash or SNG, or you can still Multi Table MTT's just enter different ones.

Actually I'd rather play in smaller fields as you have higher odds and less variance to actually BING a MTT. I've only been playing since 03.

Anyway's I want them gone , I think we should have a poll! Peace

Definitely this. I literally moved out of the US on July 1, have over 4 million points, and its gonna be ridiculous if I get nothing from the DOJ for them.

im a low stakes player so i like multi entry tournaments. they were my bread and butter before ftp shut down. I would say the best solution is to cut down on them but not completely get rid of them. Perhaps only have 1 or 2 mtts at each level a day that offers a multi entry format. I do understand its bad for the regs are mid-high stakes tho but imo ftp should keep them.

I keep seeing this asked, but based on the documents that I've read this looks set in stone.

Please, please , please keep ftp the way it was. I like pokerstars, I also like ftp. I like that they are different, have different software, different promotions, different tournament structures. Please keep them different and never blend the two sites.

Not only will it make us happier, but will make Stars(corporate) more money in the long run by having two very different products to offer to players as opposed to two similar products.
