Official FTP Relaunch Thread (OP updated October 26, 2012) - Page 99 - Poker News

In my opinion I would MUCH prefer a max 30% giveback and FTP NOT pursue the mass tabling grinders (SN/SNE's). The benefit of this to the overall playing experience and the higher proportion of recreational players and poor regs is MILES better than a better rakeback offer in my opinion.

I think that's how lots of people feel. The worry is though that the 25-35% will be hard for low volume/stakes players to achieve. There's not much benefit (to the players) in cutting higher rewards if you aren't giving some of it back to the lower level players.

Will I still be allowed to limp fold?

Further, what are 397 play chips worth and will I get them back?

Thanks.

Won't be long now, the wait's nearly over!

Hmm, I don't know why I feel a bit excited for FTP to return with its sheety RB, I just get some kind of nostalgic feeling when I think about playing on the software again...

See this thread:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...62/index3.html

It looks like a bug rather than the date has changed.
If it is the 31st where you are it will say 37 days
