FTP Answers 9/30 - Page 7 - Internet Poker

wait a minute... as of yesterday I was qualified for Iron Man, and now I'm just a Gold, because "Unable to qualify at 250 points per day" (I have 3 days with 200<points<250). Is it fair to change points requirements on the last day of month???

Same for me, beginning of the month it was requirement to get 200ftp's per day, now on the last day of the month I am unable to qualify for iron even though I finished the qualification requirements yesterday. Usual screw the player imo!

I know this has been said before but I just wanted to echo:
If you're big on faireness the most fair rb system is rakeback from pots won.

6 players dealt into a hand. Everybody folds except for SB/BB which go all in for $50. Pot is $100, rake is $3. The only person who is affected is the person who wins the pot.

WTF!

I would have earned ~450 bonus medals from Ironman plus this month, and now I see it is not registering them under the ironman page.

I was trying to hit 3k,4k etc. points in a day to earn these medals and now I don't get them?!!?!!?!

I'm not going to argue about the whole fairness/unfairness of the "LAGs benefit, nits get punished" thing where everyone's biased depending on their own style; I'll just vote with my feet like a standard customer.

So FWIW, FT...I'm a FR Limit player (yes, there are still a bunch of us), with RB, who plays a fairly standard/reasonable 19/12 style and paid a lot of rake the last two years. I was 80% sure I was moving to Stars after this year, but still hopeful that you'd come up with a competetive rewards program that would keep me around. After this month's changes, I'm now 100% to leave. Later.

Also, a clarification about the weighted contribution calculation is needed. Are uncalled bets counted as a contribution? If not, this favours the fish even more because god knows the ones winning pots before showdown a lot are us.

DONT GO ON THE SKY DIVING TRIP FROM THE FTP BLACKCARD STORE. % CHANCE UR CHUTE OPENS IS BASED ON HOW MUCH RAKE U GIVE FTP EACH DAY.

Neither do I. But I've read several stories on here of people's friends/family playing on their account thinking it was play money.

Or in other words it's as if you'd get +25 medals instead of +10 medals like from the old IM+

Lol solid counter...butnahhhh. Some of us have people come over all the time

Fix the 20% RB I am gonna lose, and then I will be happy. The IM **** was just the icing.

Hmmm contributed rake huh? I'm not sure how that will play out just yet. If it increases the action then that will be good, but I'm pretty nitty by nature so it will probably mean less rakeback for me. Hmmm...have to wait and see on this one.

I just did some quick calculations but I think this is going to increase rakeback for a solidly winning 6max player by about 10-30% to around 30%+ overall.

So as a relatively low volume player who isn't going to get black card, this update effectively gives me about -25% rakeback (20% vpip). Thanks Full Tilt!

THanks!

Ok I see the black card status using the widget, so that answers #2, unless the physical black card in the mail actually does anything.

However, WTF! I would have earned ~450 bonus medals from Ironman plus this month, and now I see it is not registering them under the ironman page.
