3 month contracts are pretty normal for hiring of new employees. Here in Florida EVERY job is on a 3 month probationary period where the employer has the right to terminate, fire, layoff, let go, whatever word you want to use here for no reason at all other then they feel like it. Just gives the employer an 'out' to get rid of you in case they feel youre not working out or the right person for the job. I wouldnt read into the short contracts at all...

That's lucky haha. I guess counting cents I have 7 figures locked up

just hope that with FTP software and improved support (hopefully) and our rakeback, im playing at FTP2

I'm from the USA and would likely play at the new FTP as well (assuming regulation, licensing, etc.)...

Just explaining what I meant. Plenty relaxed. Celebrating on 4/19

I still want my ****ing black card.

Seriously tho, it's not a competition. We all deserve our money back and hopefully it will be before WSOP.

At first glance I thought this looked great but then read that everyone will play inside the stadium ELECTRONICALLY! pfffft screw that. Just the same as playing online but without the added benefit of HUD's!

It sucks that they are having the hearing in Alderney, how much of the 'public' can they expect to turn up there!!

They had the FTP hearings in London last time and understandably that was a great turnout, eventhough we were all chucked out afterwards lol. Seems like a strange decision to hold it in Alderney rather then London.

Doesnt give much incentive to travel out of the US to this event to play electronically.

Seems very inexpensive to me...plus not so enticing for too many "observers".
Although after the last "transparent" hearings who the hell knows what the agcc are doing. I'd be kinda surprised if they had any idea themselves

Doesn't give us Brits much reason to play either ... no huds, no multitabling other events, in a football stadium (no comfort), queueing for toilet breaks, etc.

Spoke to the AGCC and they said this is standard procedure for all applications and no decision on the licence will be made on the 3rd. We've updated our story to reflect this

You seemed to think I was arguing with you, I was not. Just going through the remission regs and explaining my opinion.

Now, I am arguing with you (respectfully) on two points:

They seemed to know that they would only knock off $9 million or whatever it was from the total liability by adjusting the phantom deposit accounts. So as long as they actually do that, or have done that, at some point over the past year, I don't see that holding up a potential FTP cashier cashout process.

Agreed on the intent of the consolidated petition regulation, however, given the wide discretion given to the Ruling Official, I could see him just considering everyone with money in the FTP2 cashier (from the U.S.) as an implicit group of consolidated petitioners. Or alternatively, as individual petitioners, but the petitioner process is through FTP2. So cashing out and clicking some DOJ acknowledgement type consent form would qualify as the individual petition.

YOU MAD BRO!??!

My black card has won so many CCRs that people won't let me play with it anymore.

Gaining my FTP roll back, one dinner at a time!

+1.. Its like taking all the bad things about live poker and combining them with the bad aspects of on line poker.. The worst of both worlds! Going to Wembley to watch football is bad enough already, let alone going there to play a super turbo crap shoot!

Yes what they are hoping for is a big turnout just like last time. How foolish of them to make it difficult to attend.

I think i have read EVERY post on this entire thread. One thong STILL makes zero sense to me!! WHY? Just WHY would Tapie want to buy Full Tilt?!

Any Jackass with $400 million could surely just create a new site and open it to ROW players. Sure Tilts software was the best, but how difficult could it be to replicate it. The only thing actually worth anything hes buying is the client list?! Which is like 80% American anyway???

SO, therefore the only conclusion that makes sense to me is that Tapie MUST have strook a deal with the DoJ that if he cleans up this whole mess he WILL 100% get a license to re-enter the US market as soon as it gets regulated.

Am I crazy?! Would he be paying 400milly and taking on this whole mess just to open FTP2 to ROW players only?!

So you actually carry that thick ass metal card in your wallet?

So much fail in this post, the only bit I liked was how you managed to use the word "thong" in it.

I doubt they want the Hdemet's of the world showing up and being disruptive over what should be a 'routine' process.

How else would anyone know he has it?

Brand recognition and player pool.

think it was only like 55% US players
