At 5c/ftp and no deductions, counting the value of points, a rakeback player makes 76.5% rb at full ring and 60% at 6max while clearing those bonuses, so it goes up a bit.

Rush week. 7 days x 1000 points = $300. Actually $219 since it was taken from rakeback. Pretty decent promotion still, especially compared to the promotions sites like Stars are running now a days.

Very true. I already hit 500 about 3/4 times a week, so this may very well push me harder. It'll be hard to do it working full time but when I move up to NL50 it'll be doable for sure. When I went for the top level at Rush Week I wanted to kill myself, though, so playing a ton 7 days a week is going to be a pain in the ass sometimes.

I definitely like the program and wasn't complaining at all. It's a good addition to the Iron Man and I think if they do eventually add higher levels FTP will be able to take aim at more of the midstakes regs.

Edit: PS I think the physical card thing is pretty cool, but I get excited about pretty small things so take that with a grain of salt.

No, but we sure can throw out wild guesses...

I was hoping this card was gonna be similar to the concierge thing Stars does. Maybe eventually after regulation comes in the US, that will happen.

Neither FTP nor the players on FTP want you.

Keep your slow ass on Stars, tyvm.

If you're playing 18 tables on FT, then you're doing it wrong.

Extremely surprisingly, yes, even the great minds at 2+2 can't draw conclusions without any information to base them on. Insane, I know.

Yeah, this. Even though the software on Stars is so slow, 24 tables is nearly the same as 16 on FTP.

Edit: I like brokekid, but just based on that post, have fun at Stars.

i believe that was his point; we can't and yet so many people are attempting to. i think all these intensive, specific calculations can wait 4 days

It could just be that I'm drunk, but his post still sounds more like bitching than sarcasm to me. The "neat" is what really makes me think that. Could be wrong though, who knows.

really wished they hada showed the store now. but they probably were hoping to see peoples reaction and see what people thought etc, gives them time to readjust the store.

pretty sure im getting excited over nothing. ie hoping for a alot more rb only to get an extra few %. overall though, doesnt matter how crappy it is, its still more rb

I play 18 tables on full tilt, just got to know how.

Spoiler:
I play 16 mttsngs and then add 2 schedule mtts, for some reason the software allows this.
