Festivus for the rest of us...now with complimentary terts (LC/NC NSFW) - Page 10 - Beginning Poker Questions

I got an email today from stars saying my fpps will expire on Jan 1st because I haven't earned any this year. Orly?

Yeah I got that and asked about it:

Quote:

Hello,

Thank you for emailing us.

FPPs will only expire if none are earned over a full calendar year. If you
have earned one or more FPPs in 2012, the absolute soonest your FPPs could
expire is January 1, 2014.

Some players incorrectly received an email indicating their FPPs would
expire on January 1, 2013. We apologize for any confusion. Please do not
hesitate to reply back to us if you are unsure if you have earned any FPPs
in 2012.

So basically when they say "your points will expire" what they actually mean is "your points won't expire".

example hand:

Poker Stars, $0.25/$0.50 Limit Hold'em Cash, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #14953971

Preflop: Hero is MP with A

Hero raises, 3 folds, BB calls

Flop: (4.4 SB) 3

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls

Turn: (3.2 BB) 4

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls

River: (5.2 BB) A

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls

Spoiler:

Get the Flash Player to use the Hold'em Manager Replayer.

I don't understand. You raise a marginal hand in MP, and then bink..... guy has a pair, so obviously he is going to showdown....

Only read OP, but it seems to me that there is NO WAY that anyone ever gets to 27 pts, unless that person is the ONLY person who gives a damn about winning it.

I don't see how that makes it the best game ever ...

thats what i believe the OPs point to be....people stop caring in games (especially the game mods or creators) and they die. in this game if people stop caring it really livens up and i guess will cause people to start caring again and then...well...it should be interesting to see what becomes of it.

there is a WW game that has been running for like 3 or 4 years so who knows...
