FTP Take 2 Promo

Just saw that the Take 2 Promo will be running again at FTP again in my Promotions page. Here are the details for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Remember that you have to opt in for it, and that you aren't just automatically going to get this promo.

Take 2 at Full Tilt Poker to earn up to $25 AND double the Full Tilt Points that you’d normally receive for playing in your favorite ring games.
Running from Friday, October 15th to Sunday, October 24th, play at least two standard ring-game tables at the same time or any Rush Poker* table during Take 2 to receive double the Full Tilt Points.
The more you play during Take 2, the more you’ll earn. Earn at least five bonus points on any five days during Take 2 to get $5 in cash. Do so on nine of the ten days to get an additional $20, for a total of $25. Learn more about Take 2.
You have elected to participate in Take 2. Stay up to date on your Take 2 status in the Take 2 Summary box on the right, and keep track of how many points you’ve earned in the calendar below.

awesome. free money. one of the best promos FTP runs. Wish it were $50 tho.

This is a good promo, I actually achieved the 25 last year without losing much if any in Rush.

I always forget how the point work at FTP. Is being in the hand enough or did you have to contribute to a raked hand in order to receive these points?

Is this bonus easy to make playing 10 rush?

iirc, it is easy playing 5nl rush. It has been a year though, I might have been playing 10nl, but I really don't think I was as the swings make me want to bang my head against the wall.
I am also pretty sure being in the hand is enough.

Whee... I love these. Only promotions I get to do for some reason.

I forgot they had Rush 5nl now. I may have to give that a try

Yay, way to go FTP. I've lost more than $25 so far this month with the change in how MGR is computed. Thanks for giving a fraction of what you're keeping back!

Very easy. I am playing 4 5NL tables of Rush and I could clear the 5 FTPs in 5-10 minutes easily

Dumb question from a SnG player: the changes are going to affect how fast you run up FTPs as well, meaning it'll take longer than it used to for nits to run up their 5 FTPs per day right?

I've signed up just in case but I dunno if I'll actually bother playing in Take 2 this time around. Taking the time out from my regular game for a piddling $5 won't be worth it, though I can see the attraction if these are your normal games.

Free monies? I'm in!

Free money for me too!

Probably the best promotion....EVER. Usually not hard to qualify for either.

I definitely agree with you PNJs dad , the Take 2 promo is the easiest that FTP ever had. Good luck and see you at the tables.

Did the change to the way rakeback is computed also change how you earn FTPs? Don't play much ring except for these promos so don't know. But if I recall its now weighted contributed rakeback, if FTPs are also then no longer would just being dealt a hand earn you ftps making this harder for people just playing to beat the promo.

* So I guess it will actually be easier now to achieve the 5 FTPs after reading up about it

"You earn Full Tilt Points (FTPs) whenever you play for real money. The more you play, the more points you earn! In ring games, 10 FTPs will be awarded to the table per each dollar raked from the pot, and then split equally between all players dealt into the hand. "

Im in and this time I actually have a bankroll for it.

Glad this one is back. I did this one with ease last year, also on the 5NL Rush tables. You can even fold your way to the 25... LOL. Compare to the last couple they have offered, this one is a lot easier to do, at least in my humble opinion

Best of luck.

Yeah FTPs are earned faster now.

???

So are they are getting more rake but giving more points?

Do you have to put money into a pot in order to get points or just get dealt into the hand?

I like these promotions. Good way to make a few extra bucks when you play the micro-limits like I do.

I havent gotten any bonus offer from FT
Guess they dont like me.

Everyone gets this one but you have to go to the My Promotions page and accept the Take2 Promo to be eligible.

Oh yes, found it thx, was just looking for it in the wrong place.

You coulda just read the OP.

ya, I could have...

You know there's something seriously wrong about FTP when $25 is considered the best promo ever...

This.

Also, I really hate those promotions based on how often you play instead of how much rake you generate. I pay FTP tens of thousands of dollars every year, but they actually want me to play on very specific days so that they give me some of it back? That's .

Anyway, I'll be lying on a beach by the Red Sea for the whole time of this promotion, and i very doubt i'll give it any thought...

Thanks. I might have to go for this with Rush 5NL

I wouldn't either mate.

Must be nice...

Whatever will you do without this awesome $25? Think of your BR man!

Have fun and it must be nice not to have to worry about $25 dollars.

Well, i used to worry about that quite often as that was the size of a 4bet at 100nl, but now at 200nl, it's just a really weird bet size.

I am sure I will make the $25 but most likely I will lose $32 trying.

It has to be for me since it's the only one my volume can achieve, but even more since it is the only promotion FTP ever offers me.

It's funny, $25 isn't a huge percentage of even MY bankroll, and for you it would barely be a blip. Obviously this promo is designed for fish, and because of that you should be grateful. You will soak up some of this "free money" on it's way up the stakes as it re-evaporates into rake.

Will you please, at some point on your trip, lift one glass of brainscan destroying, horribly addicting, sorrow causing, over taxed, evil alcohol-beverage in the name of cAPSLOCK whilst reclining?

Just be aware that last year, we had to complete just 1 FPT a day. This year it is 5 per day., a little trickier at the micro levels depending on how long you play or ho many tables.

Very true. I did the one point a day pretty easily. I am going to play Rush and see how it goes for this one. If I am not achieving the results fairly quick I will most likely just shoot for the $5 and call it done.
