I withdrew another 2.5k yesterday and it was approved and processed as per norm within 30 mins. I fully expect the money to be in the bank by no later than thursday given today is a bank holiday.

Personally when I actually played online poker I'd sit with anyone starting at 6m/FR and then sit alone at them. Then I'd join all the global waitlists for both for w/e limits I was playing. Then I could leave bad games. So how many 6m vs. FR tables I had up just depended on how good the 6m games vs. the FR games were that particular day.

Another official update by FTP. All they essentially say is they're still working on getting us our money.

Does anybody else find it disturbing that they said that they are "raising capital" to speed up US player payouts?

yeah, right after they said they arent bankrupt. the funniest part of it all is, its been approximately 45 days since black friday. me and SA16 did some calculations that were very lowballing, and calculated that FTP rakes about 2-3m/day and thats a lowball number. So its probably more like 4-5m/day. So that means in the past 45 days, they've made approxiately 160-200m. JEEEEEE DURKA DURRRR you might be able to use some of that money to pay players out.

seems like it's fairly obvious at this point that it's a cash-flow problem and not a legality problem.

full tilt isn't willing to dip into worldwide player funds to payout us players, so we have to wait until-more DOJ releases of the funds, tilt earns enough $ from rake to replace the frozen usa funds/credited but not received player funds, or the owners sell part of a ownership share of the company to cover the locked up funds.

At least half of that is going to affiliates/operating costs. Still a good chunk but not as much as it looks on the surface. Also I'm curious how you get 2-3m/day because that seems kinda high especially with post black friday traffic.

Forbes estimated they make 100mil/year and I think that was before BF. So yeah 2-3m/day is way too high.

god been reading/posting in the FTP update thread, it's so full of idiots it's useless. Just a bunch of morons that probably don't have more than $100 on the site talking about how the sky is falling FTP is busto and no one will see our money. I offered to bet any amount that we see our money by the end of the year. No takers so far lol.

Recently I got into this thing called Heads up, I know it sounds unusual for many of us nits, but been messing around with few friends 4 tabling 10nl 200bb deep on fake chip tables and then just shipping money some other way. Its actually quite a bit of fun and I haven't enjoyed poker for the longest time like I did earlier today. If any of you guys want to play some time, just pm me. I'm willing to even treat it as 5nl or 2nl, or possibly higher.

not looking to see who has a bigger e-pen. Just trying to get better, plus if there is any edge between two regs it's pretty small and comes down to variance. I'm not really looking to burn money plus I'm no balla like you and it's mainly for fun. Willing to play you at 10nl, otherwise sorry can't do.

nonono. Sky IS falling.

All 2+2 regs should leave FTP as a response to this.

I'll stick around and make sure they havent run off anywhere/games are still running.

mtt grind starts today. Pretty pumped but I also know the majority of the time I will want to kill myself by the end of the series. But I'm playing up to 21 and I have action for people playing a total of up to 54 tourneys. Someone's gotta bink one of them right?
