"True" Poker players at Full Tilt?

Nobody can accuse Full tilt of never mixing it up.

The site to describe what this is, is down but Im sure it will surface soon.

"You can earn your True Poker Player Badge by playing in any of our ring games, multi-table tournaments and Sit & Gos."

Waste of space badge

Each corner has badges now. True poker player, rush player, full tilt academy, and iron man.

I don't understand why anyone would want to show any of the badges. Oh so you made iron man last month, all that really means is you play a lot, you still might play like crap.

E. Badges: They might not be your thing, but lots of people like them. Four different badges right now, likely more to come eventually. You can turn them off through Options->Badge Display Options... (or through the Table Options). From there you can turn them off for you, for others (if you want to, uh, hide the fact that you play Rush Poker), or just disable the links. Collect all 4 and they turn *slightly* brighter!

you should unlock new avatars instead of badges.

Now that's an actual good idea. The more a site makes poker out to be just a game the better off we'll all be. More recreational players = more $$s in play = more sharks = more rake = more incentives = more recreational players. Rinse and repeat.

^^^ From what I read this is exactly correct....

So this is a new "True" player badge huh? So what's the criteria to get this? I ask because I only play one or two SNG's a night, maybe 3 times a week. So, is there a "False" player badge? lol

horrible idea IMO(the badge). my advice is to leave it on. had someone at my table ask "why does everybody got a badge except cardplayer". i said "because i suck at poker"(then turned it back on). 1st thing that came to my mind is to comment "because i'm a multitabling bot". i can just see the rigged threads now.

Hmmm i have to agree that these new "true poker player" badge is a waste of space. If ur gonna have any badge make it like pokerstars with the bronze,silver etc.

I for one would like to see them make more avatars, but at the end of the day these badges and avatars have nothing to do with the poker play.

**I do like the shapes of the new boxes the names are in.

true poker badge is totally worth playing for...... The only people who don't have it are players who have only ever played play money. I mean come on full tilt, where is your brain on this one. there is no reward system for the badges anyways. If they had earn 5 dollars for the rush badge or something, then it would be a different story.
