Full Tilt Academy

#1 17th June 2009, 3:33 AM

Anyone messing around with the Full Tilt Academy Challenges? I've completed one of Phil Gordon's and now am working on one from Chris Ferguson. They seem to be good ways for me to make sure I am staying aware of what I am doing and why. And they give you "Full Tilt Academy Credits" which you can either get stuff like with Full Tilt points.... or you can for 5000 credits, get 5000 Full Tilt points.

ya, definitely if you play often on full tilt. it's almost like a seperate benefits program designed to improve your game. you can earn points to spend in the store while you play. you earn points by doing the challenges which are like achievements in a video game that you complete while you play. like there's a holdem leaks challenge for instance. where they ask you to open raise 5 times to exactly 3x the bigblind with AA, A-K, K-K, A-Q, QQ, T-T, JJ, or A-J I've only checked out some of the introductory stuff, but it's mostly stuff you probably already know and do. They also have monthly freerolls which you can earn entry into by doing the Sit & Learns which are also basically watching a 5-10 min video of a pro talking about a subject then taking a quiz on it. If you score in the top 1,000 you earn entry into the freerolls which are next on July 11th I think.

I've definitely seen some improvements in my game. Mostly because looking over at the tasks I have reminds me to think about what I am doing though. A lot of the things are probably things you are already doing, though if they aren't, maybe they should be.

So far I have racked up 327 points.

The lesson videos are to short, and mainly for beginners.However, I have taken two challenges so far, and finished One(bankroll management). I started Aaron Bartley's SNG Challenge. A good thing about the challenges is you can repeat them up to ten times.
