FTP Answers 9/30 - Page 141 - Internet Poker

Idea for getting rid of PTR:

Give everyone a 5 hour time bank a month to observe. That's 5 table-hours, which is 5 hours of watching 1 table or 1 hour of watching 5 tables. Every x hours you play, you get time added to the observe time bank. This way, noobs are incentivized to play.

Your lobby claims there are like 20K tables, and let's say 5K of them are cash games. PTR would need to create 720K accounts to get 24/7 coverage for 5K tables @ 5 hours a month. God bless PTR if they can do make that many accounts without being obvious about it.

Should be easy to implement. Obviously, you can tweak the numbers. And it has the added benefit of getting rid of the panhandlers.

maybe we can throw the noobs a bone and say 10 hours a month of free observe and another 20 if they make their first deposit. ;-)

You are officially smarter than anybody working at FTP.

All I care about is that they took money away from me and many others, under the banner of a fabulous new rewards program, and I want to try to get some of that back. I don't care if they do that in a "consistent" way or not.

So please don't appear to be pushing for something that will HURT us for the sake of consistency. Yeesh.

"we're big into fairness over here." still makes me laugh every time I read it.

The five hour observer time bank is a great idea, I hope stars picks it up.

How about proposing an alternative instead of just saying "meh" and wasting cyberspace?

Are you guys serious? Players should be allowed to observe the games for as long as they want. FWIW I think all HH's should be public and observed HH's should be mineable. Fortunately FTP is too busy loling around to ever put something like this in place.

I am multitabling on FT and tables are tiled (options Display table on action and Highlight bet amount are checked).

Problem- when one table needs my attention its not highlighted (highlighted is the one I clicked last), so I have to click on that table to activate it.

Also, most annoying thing is that I have to double click to "bet amount" box to input my bet.

Is there a way to fix this, so the table that needs attention highlights bet box and it is ready to type my bet without need to click on it?

This isn't my biggest gripe at all.

This is.

I was just establishing that they are blatantly lying to us no matter how FT tries to spin it when a portion of the rewards program is distributed one way and another portion is distributed differently.

I wasn't pushing for both to be weighted contributed. I want it all via dealt.

Like you say, they cut from our bottom line under the guise of a new reward program. This bothers me most I'm sure like the majority of posters. The glaring contradiction just adds to the tilt factor.

FYP

Yeah, it is pretty funny that the PS rep is on 2p2 all of the time, and FTP and their people just pop in when they feel like it and do **** all when they get here.

At FTP, they just feel they want to settle for being #2, and at the same time, make their customers feel like they just stepped in it.

Way to go *******s!

Why do you think PTR it's bad for FullTilt? Because they say so? Because they prohibit it?

Everything that makes the games tougher like PTR and poker schools it's good for poker sites...

tougher games = more rake
