Re: Matrix sngs: These are great. There need to be a lot of new sng forms, it's silly to have the same old ones that everyone has mastered and just turn into 30 or 40 minutes where 6 out of 9 people play really really well and grind out some small edge. Adding new and varying forms of sngs is awesome and only really a bad thing for the human robots who grind out sngs with the standard strategy for standard SNGs and can't figure out how to win at other forms of poker/sngs.

These will also be way for fun for recreational players like a friend of mine who told me recently that he hates SNGs now cause the first 20 minutes are always super boring these days as opposed to a couple of years ago when he played them all the time. While I haven't thought through the ideal strategy too hard on these, pretty sure it doesn't involve just folding anything but huge premiums until 50-100.

Please do NOT add DON's.
I really don't like / care for these matrix sngs, and I would imagine these tournaments = MUCH less rake made for FTP, they'd also take away from the current sng player pool, I just don't get it.

+1 option to change your s/n every Xmonths, though I doubt it will happen.

+1 buddy list (but I think you addressed this in the last update)

+1 iTouch in the store (+other stuff)


I've had the client freeze/fail at least 4 times in the last hour of play, and each time it erases my password from the login window (yes I am clicking "save pw") which is tilting when i have a really long complicated PW.

I'll give you that. The only real benefit for those who play for money is that there appears to be a significant amount of strategy in these that many may not pay attention to.

Doug,
I'm not a fan of the new Matrix STTs, but if they catch on it's obvious they're here to stay. So could we at least cut down on the number of them cluttering up the SNG lobby? Like super-turbos, there could be 7 or 8 levels, and maybe only 9-mans.

Use the custom filter, check everything bar matrix

The password will only get saved if you close the client, sounds like yours crashed. Login, select save pw then close the client, it will be saved from now on

i try to download software, and it says problem decompressing archive and won't work. anyone else?

obv right after i type that it works. fml ftp.

I have to do it every time, and what it does it cuts 90% of my notes!!!!!!! I open new xml and see there only few people instead of tons!!! Deleting file doesn't help. Ugh...

i had it first time too, just restart client again.

can you please, please, please make sure that when people buy in to limit games that they cant leave and come back with a lower buy in, instantly. Ratholing isnt as big of a deal in limit games, I understand this, but there is still some advantages, and i think its pretty unfair for someone to constantly be doing this at the same table.

Something I've been interested in lately is when the popup for a waiting list comes up saying my seat is available to give me the stats on that table. If I signed up for that table a long time ago I want to know if it has changed drastically.

I think if if you changed the HA games to NL/PLO instead of PLH/PLO they would get alot more traffic. Or atleast add NL/PLO in the lobby and see how people like it PLEASE.

FTP DOUG

heres my suggestion to make the matrix tournys better. What if for example take the 2 + .25. Instead of splitting that 5 ways change it to a 3 + .25 and put the extra dollar for the matrix pool. I think this will greatly increase the popularity of these. especially for the sng grinders.

I never posted what you quoted me as saying. Not sure if done accidental or not but fyi.

I've requested this before too.

Yeah, do the easy stuff first. But matrix is interesting. Although I am not sure why so many tournaments at fulltilt have to emphasize knockouts.

Please don't.

Doug,

Cash game filters please.
Also, nice work on the email login.

SERIOUS BUG! NEEDS IMMEDIATE UPDATE!

I've narrowed this down to playernotes with "ä", "Ä", "ö", "Ö", "ü", "Ü" in it (maybe more). After the .dat to .xml-conversion all seems fine until the next login. Then this error occurs. If a playernote with those characters is found all of the notes below this are deleted.

Little workaround before the bug-fix:

1. Close Full Tilt.
2. Delete [screenname].xml.
3. Copy the first [date].[time].[screenname].xml to [screenname].xml.
4. Open [screenname].xml with editor
5. Replace all ä,ö,ü with ae, oe, ue.
6. Start Full Tilt and try again.

i just payed one of the atrix 5.50. i hate it. i thought i would get good value, and i may have but i was mistaken that the points meant something. they dont. they "give you and idea of standing" but they dont. i think value is lost with chopping up the prize pool like that. i wont play another one.

For me, it was the dash that I had inserted that was bad. I did not have any characters that you mention within my file.

For the store, you ever thought about minting some FTP coins? Gold, Silver and Platinum.....

How about having Omaha hi/lo be part of the matrix SNG's also. Seems silly to exclude certain SNG's.

There might be multiple problems.

I think there is also a problem where you have quotation marks ("--") in your notes, which makes the xml format unreadable for that node.

Confimed: Following node was removed from the re-saved xml doc: <NOTE PlayerId="I Am Ari" ColourIx="2" Text="Ari “BodogAri” Engel" />

haha i knew the xml would be trouble
