same thing

lol sigh i spewed off like 1k and still managed to finish +300 after like 12 hours which is like 300 hands which is like 15mins of rush LOL but oooommmmgggggg after i spewed off and was stuck like 1k i took another adderall and then like owned by force after following my ''never bluff live ever'' rule, im going to paass out soon since i was up all night but i have one LOL hand that needs retelling which ill post when i wake up

Yeah... WTF is this ****. Rush is lagging like insert witty line about cripples.

In regards to the point change thing, we'll see. I'm pretty confident.

it specifically says that they're changing them to correspond to the changes they made to the point system earlier in the year though

to me that pretty much makes it seem like they have to raise the prices since they've already devalued them by making the points easier to get in the first place

Yeah, but they are already losing people due to the black card change, and if they start the new year off badly they'll lose even more people to Stars. Plus, Stars is almost certainly going to have some cool changes in the next week or two which FTP will have to compete with. Consider the value of tournament tickets is > the value of cash bonuses, and the cash bonuses were created AFTER the point change, it only makes sense that prices would go down. Also, the cash bonuses are a better deal than buying any electronics through the store, which means they can't raise the value of the electronics.

So to make sense out of that ramble.

Cash bonuses were made after the bonus change.
It's better to buy cash bonuses than electronics.

This means that since they won't be raising the cost of cash bonuses (because they made that change after they introduced the new point system), they can't heighten the price of electronics because they're already a bad value. However, they're not willing to go so far as to make everything worth the same value as a tournament ticket so they intend to lower the price of the electronics by a bit (to match with the cash bonuses slightly better), and likely lower the price of the cash bonuses by a little bit (to keep a similar ratio between electronics and $).

Also, to quote FTP doug.

Maybe this'll be enough to quell the dissenters? Oh, and by no means do I think it'll be some drastic change.

Full Tilt also tried to describe the Black Card changes as entirely positive/beneficial.

And they got a **** ton of hell for it in the black card thread. They acknowledged that they shouldn't have hyped up the black card and created such a buzz because clearly they're not good at meeting high expectations. So their new strategy should be subtle, and have as little buzz as possible while being a positive change. This situation sounds a lot like that.

Also, not that my understand of this situation needs any more support, but it makes sense that they'd off you bonuses to get rid of your FTPs before they made them more valuable. Why would they make them less valuable and give you a bonus at the same time (it's like saying "Hey, the dollar is about to go down in value, let me buy them all up and give you a bonus!" as opposed to my understanding of their message which is "Hey, the dollar is about to go up in value, if you sell them to me now I'll give you a bonus!") One of those situations is beneficial to the company and makes the consumer feel ok with spending them before they gained value, the other is not beneficial to the company and makes the consumer feel happy that he spent them before they became cheap.

Maybe it doesn't matter who starts the FTP regs thread if all the regs move to the Stars thread???

i'm hoping for the best, but i don't like the fact that they are being ambiguous about it. you would think if the prices were going to be lowered they would just come out and say it

This would make a lot of sense, I'm just warning that Full Tilt is capable of anything

Remember how excited we all were for black card lol.
I distinctly remember people saying it was like xmas eve.

Does anyone else's FTP freeze occasionally when they press the 'options' button on the table? I accidentally press it far too often and pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and then ESC sorts it all out. Maybe it's just my computer.

me
always happens when i have a set

Clearly this is a byproduct of black and white avatars.

but Stars doesnt have the crack cocaine of poker.

^^^ 6 month self exclude was my best decision all month

if any of you is hochiminraise, stop using half your time bank to slowroll the fish. you're just wasting our time. kthnx
