Announcers would also lead you to believe he's the one of the greats from the sand as well, however he hasn't cracked the top 25 in that category for 5 years.

I do think Phil was/is very creative and when he is on seems to be ridic on/around the greens. I also think people remember the absurd flop shots, short sided up and downs, etc. and that is the basis for their observations about his short game. I remember 5-6 years ago when he was a disaster from 3-6 feet and people still talked about his as one of the best putters in the game and that obv did not compute. Of course, I am not using any stats either to back up my claim here....lol
a lot like how we judge ww skill around here.

do i understand the ftp thing, right? we can't apply for our money til the 18th? so there is nothing to do today or tomorrow
09-16-2013 , 01:57 PM
there is a small chance i won't be eligible to get my money because i never deposited money on ftp. fml so hard if that turns out to be the case. i don't know if i deposited or not.

I wondered if that was a typo or just poorly worded myself

Like was it supposed to say "have money on deposit with FTP"?

gtpitch: yes!

I'm fairly sure the FTP thing involves account balances not deposits

I made the mistake of trying to initiate a cashout on 4/15 that ended up in limbo so I'm excited to see how that plays out
09-16-2013 , 02:01 PM
Got the email finally, also a chance I won't get paid due to one of the exceptions FML

i would guess that to be eligible to withdraw, you have to have made a deposit at some point. it doesn't matter how much you deposited.

there was some poker site, i think it was pokerstars or lock, i tried to make a withdrawal and they wouldn't let me because i never made a deposit. i had like 10k in there, but i had to deposit like 100 before i could withdraw any
09-16-2013 , 02:07 PM
the sites have rules like that for their own benefit but I wouldn't imagine the DOJ would care

There are some funny ideas circulating about from credible sources that they might deny people who were 'affiliates' of ftp from claiming, but unclear what they define that to mean.

i'm too scared. and what's the point anyway?

rakeback affiliates? hopefully they mean only the affiliate and not the people who got rakeback

affiliates don't have to be for rakeback but basically that's how it worked. They got part of the rake generated by an account that was created from the affiliate's site. Affiliates had special codes in the download URLs for the software and when you registered an account you would also enter a code

That'll be so raw if filthy doesn't get hit FTP money. pwns should probably share some of his on principle.

To each according to his needs.

you can't check balances yet

i did email full tilt to ask tho a week or so ago
09-16-2013 , 03:56 PM
Filthy, you absolutely have to man up and deal with this in the most proactive way possible. You need to make sure of your balance asap, and ensure your email is right, and get on top of any problems.
