Full Tilt $30 Million Double Guarantees Week

http://p.fulltiltpoker.com/double-guarantees-week

For one week only – Monday, January 24th through Sunday, January 30th – we’re doubling the guaranteed prize money for every one of our Weekly Guarantees, culminating in one of the biggest Big Money Sundays ever.

In addition, we are converting all guarantee tournaments for the week to our new Multi Entry Tournament format.

Anyone going to play in any of these huge tournaments?

750K guarantee now 1.5 Mil.

I'll prob play the Daily Doller with 4 or 5 entries as prize pool would then be 20,000.

Exciting promotion, i noticed this on the ads that get posted on the left side of full tilt. I think it will attract a lot of attention and interest from the players.

Yea - I will be hitting some of these.

will be playing a few of these during the promo. hopefully there will be some very nice overlays.

O shit!!!! i thought this promo was going on this last week...not this next coming week...niceeee i thought i missed out

Has anyone played in any of the Double Guarantee Week tournaments at Full Tilt and noticed overlay despite the multi buy-in catch? Or are all these tournaments covering the double guarantee?

I don't think that starts until next week if I am correct it said the 24th.

it starts next monday

I want to. My favorite tourney, the ten cent one is full already. still 5 days away.

yea for sure ....will be interesting to see how any more entry though will be in each of these or if its about the same except some of the lower ones like the daily dollar..

just join the waiting list and you should get in eventually

There probably won't be much if any overlay - so many people will register for them.

I think it sucks that FTP has chosen to add this new gimmicky promo during the Double Guarantee week. I believe this makes it more difficult for the recreational MTT player (ie. alot of MTT regs. will be entering 4x & am guessing many recreational players won't be, especially newer ones). This will make for a higher proportion of regs. to recs. which I think will also hurt it for the regs. as well.
I'm not opposed to FTP bringing in this new type of tournament (although not really a big fan either.... so does this mean an m/a'r might have 16-30entries into a tournament? lol), but to make all of the double guar. tourney 'multi-entry' kinda sucks.

I agree PO!

My feelings about FTP are well known I am sure but for anyone that still loves playing there do you kinda get the feeling that they no longer care about the hard core poker player and have instead switched to making everything feel all very play-land and casino like? Where as Pokerstars introduces home games which I feel is geared towards the hard core poker player.

I mean Matrix, Multi-Entry, even Rush is all about them not the player.

Ugh - I will probably not play any or many of these. I am playing one multiple entry now and huds don't work.

so no huds work in the multi entry tournies?

that sucks!

Bizarre. I played one and the HUD worked fine. With regards to what's been discussed, I doubt there will be any overlay in any of the tournaments in all honesty. They usually make the guarantee normally, considering more will play you only have to have an average buy in of about 2 per person to make it. Even though will buy in once, some are gonna do it 4-6 times so I can't see any overlay.

With regards to Kmixers points, I can See what you mean about these new game types being for them since they generate more rake but both rush and multi entry have proved massively popular from what I can see and I think FTP is just offering more options. Every poker site is a business and I think that Stars and Tilt both do a great job of attracting the recreational player as much as the regs or grinders.

Very bizarre - mine never worked on either table the entire game - I was playing another FT tournament and it worked fine there.

Do you use PT3 or HEM?

this double guarantee week starts tomorrow dont forget ppl

first tournament is midnight madness (40k Guarantee, $10 Buy-In). Anyone gonna play in that?

Thanks for the update on these events. Will definitely look into to whats going on. Good Luck to all that play in these.

i would if i didn have to get up at 645am for class

They made another $.10 tourney at the same time tomorrow. It has about 800 people in it so go register !

Hem.

Me too - so still a mystery. Is there a recent update I might need to do?

they added a second one.

double deuce is $400K...sik monies

22 dollahs and a dreaaaaaaaaaam

lol and you can enter up to 4 x in this tourney

1) THere will be virtually no overlays at all
2) THey won't be reg fests. Regs can't play their regular schedule and then multiply it by 4. They don't have the bandwidth. So they will have to be selective as o which tournies they multi-reg for.... leaving the other tournies less full of regs.
3) PT HUD works fine.

4) This is the best thing since sliced bread for a +EV player in a given tournament. THere may be more regs, but there will be fish-sticks regging 4 times too especially in low buyins. More dead money!

I Love these things. The hard part will be trying to figure out what to play.

I am going to be sooooooooooooooooo pissed when my hud does not work on some of my regular games!!

My laptop has an old version of HEM which seems to work whereas my PC one doesn't - when was the last time you updated?

I'll be avoiding the double guarantees; on the plus side because of the 16 table cap and people getting 4 entries to these tournies there will likely be less regs in other regular tournies and large field SnGs

* thought I'd fix that for ya so you didn't have to edit (figured it was a typo)

Im gonna check the schedule, and will probably play one to see what the multi entrants are like. I am guessing that you can open every one in a separate window just like in multi tabling different games?

Lots of speculation "It will be better for xxx, worse for xxx" It WILL be interesting to see what its like, seems to me its just like having 4 10$ games open at once (or whatever buy in) since you can only make one cash per player, I dont see a real difference to 4 entries in a 10$ game and 4 10$ games of similar entrant size. But I am just speculating as well...............



I do agree that all of the juicy doubles are in this format and that sucks, they should make this promo with out combining it with an unknown gimmick. Still, if you enter a game and dont mind a large field I cant see what the difference is. It can actually be a + since your reads will possibly still be useful at another table.
