You aren't skeptical at all, Ringer? I mean I feel great and everything, but there still is a chance we get screwed somehow. I really wouldn't feel completely safe until I know that money is on its way to me.

I mean the only thing to be skeptical about at this point seems to be "will we get 100% of our money in US". It seems like a done deal for euros getting their balances restored.

I'm just hoping we don't fine out we only get like 75% of our balance.

Pretty sure FTP shareholders still have to agree. I can't really see a reason they wouldn't but we're not completely in the clear yet I don't think.

This is what I was alluding to. And the fact that, idk, it's just possible for sh*t to go wrong somehow until we actually have the money.

not a fist pump but i don't think i can fold

I think this is super hard to answer without having been at the table. Even some true whales have issues with sticking 7k in at 5/10 with a meh holding whereas others are perfectly capable of having 54 or A8 or some ****

online I'd always have AA and they'd always have 52 in that spot. Drove me insane because I NEVER filled up and felt like the fish always getting it in behind in those spots always vs those type of superwhales.

I had a fair # of points and was somewhere still clearing a 5k bonus. I'll be happily shocked if we ever see those points again. Only chance I think is if FTP holds them until we're able to play again (which is lol atm). No way does the DOJ imo could ever understand that system other than it's not $ so no.

Euros will not be getting 100% of their balances right away. As we seen the spanish players that got called up and those are the most likely options such as the equity, with a penalty, etc. Either way you are celebrating too early, considering something goes wrong it would be a heart breaker including some **** with DOJ.
11-17-2011 , 09:39 PM
umm what? From what I heard unless you agreed to something else you would still get 100% of your balance on FTP if you were not in the US.
11-17-2011 , 09:39 PM
Biggest pot BBwise I ever won online was while playing Rush Mobile on my android. I got a $900 stack at 1/2 and got AA vs KK against a big fish who also had $900, lol.

they will get 100% of your balance eventually, but are not going to get it right away. Don't you remember group tapie contacting european players by phone?
11-17-2011 , 10:14 PM

ferguson>conan>rest is unwatchable btw

in most cases (me) cashouts were "processing" so it would take terrible accounting and shady characters deliberately trying to short you

On a related it seems like every single grinder I have discussed it with had 700k-1mm FTPs saved up so they sure picked a proper doomsday.
they are trying to "make players whole" i dont think screwing thousands out of thousands would qualify as making players whole. obv the risk is higher for US players since they cant play on the site and FT will be working hard to rebuild its customer base from ROW players. Also points are a liability just like if you buy a gift certificate they usually have expiry dates so they can account for the liability.
