***Official 2015 Full Tilt Regs Thread*** - Page 16 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

Seriously though this is the key - it doesn't matter how pretty everything looks and how cohesive all the buy-in levels are across the site - what matters is we are losing players faster than we are gaining them. I can't imagine a scenario where switching to 500 has a noticeably positive impact on that problem but at the same time I'm not going to say no to a $75k pay rise.

375k/year, solid brag.

Does anyone know the secret to finding 5 handed tables? Even when I select the 5-handed options in advanced filters, I can't see them.

I didn't think we had 5 handed tables for cash games at all - thought it was just tournaments.

Wondering if we had them pre-BF and it just never got removed maybe?

those 5 handed tables are probably the ones that have 1 reserved seat, they used to allow you to purchase your own table with fpps.

or maybe they are going to implement 5 handed tables soon

Good shout with the reserved tables that might be what the option is for - I had forgotten about those.

Hi

Does anyone know how to fix rush HM2 hud when only 3-4 or 5 players sit on a table? When players number less than 6 my hud just crashes. I use HM2 2.0.0.8311

Thanks
Bye

It shouldn't crash totally just not work perfectly, most people just have a players stats missing rather than entire HUD crashing.

There is no fix but you should be able to get better functionality if you contact Fozzy on the HM2 forums and explain you have this problem. The bug has been scheduled for a fix but not till version 2.0.0.85xx.

Pretty common for that to happen with 1/2 and 2/4 - where 1/2 is dead but 2/4 running.

I don't keep track of the lower limits really but if you want a game to run just sit and you'll probably only have to play short handed for 10 mins before the pool starts to fill at the lower limits at least. It's good practice for when you want to move up to 1/2 plus as well because the games run short handed very often.

Any Russian or Ukrainian regs lurking this thread?

I'd be really interested to hear what it is like for you guys living there at the moment. I feel we get a pretty warped view of what it's like in the western media.

How much of a problem is caused by the structure of the black card leaderboards?

I wonder how it affects volume at 200 rush when the top handful+ of volume grinders at 100 lack incentive to play 200.

I would be leery about bumping 400r up to 500r. The 200 game barely runs and jumping from 100 to 400 is already a massive increase in stakes. I suspect that the games would be a bit healthier if players had a better avenue to move up and down through the limits...

I def. think they should. Homegrown pro's are much more effective for a site then bringing in an outside spokesman who doesn't necessarily believe in the product. Also by hiring within it gives other grinders hope/inspiration.

If people want to bet on chigga winning the rush high leaderboard I might be interested in booking some action against.

Hey people whats up with these nl200 rush games? It seems like whenever it runs there are tons of recreational players and not enough regs to keep the game fast enough. And whenever nl200 is on, 2/4 seems dead

I think in order to get 200 running more often, FullTilt need to make it more attractive to the 100NL grinders. One think that might help would be, to let points count for the rush-low leaderboard. This way some of the grinders might go ahaead and play more 200NL. Another option might be double Fulltiltpoints in Rushpools with less then 20players, to make it more attractive to play in those small pools.

I've also suggested having 1/2 count towards both leaderboards but I think actually just making the Rush Low leaderboard only go up to 50NL is probably better for overall economy although I could be persuaded either way by a convincing argument.

The irony of this being if you added 5/10 Rush it would run more often than 1/2 does now.
