How does it work

I am going to earn my first iron man this month, definitly Bronze or most probably silver, what do I get for just one months iron man?

I sound like an idiot but I just dont get how it works lool read the full tilt page but it doesnt make sense to me.

u get an entry into that whatever level u qualify for freeroll

bronze
silver
gold
iron

unless you decide to take medals instead....you can save up medals to spend in the iron man store. also u get a badge next to your name.

What would you recommend doing??

Also what is the top prize at the silver freeroll?

personally i save up my medals....really depends what you like more

in the freerolls there are alot of sitouts and its been said fairly easy to make the money..so if your a decent tourney player...i'd say take a shot at the freeroll

however if you think your going to make bronze silver gold or iron man each month for awhile...i say save up the medals and buy a cash bonus after a year or 2 of saving them.

Top prize for silver freeroll...im guessing here....7K maybe?? not real sure but its in that area

Do you get rakeback? Just know that using medals for FTP or Iron Man store items might have rakeback hit implications.

Generally, the freeroll is supposed to have the best value on a purely $ for $ basis if you have rakeback.

Buying and using tournament tickets from the Iron Man store does not affect your rakeback, so if you can't or don't want to play the freerolls then using your medals for tournament tickets is the next best thing.

If you don't want to have to play tourneys to get cash out of your Iron Man medals, then use the cash bonus (just know it will affect your rakeback).

NEVER use your Iron Man medals to buy Full Tilt Points. It is a pointless waste.

I am also saving up my medals. I haven't decided whether to go the bonus route, or save up until I can buy the 100k ft points.

There was a great thread about iron man that was stickied..
Iron Man: Use it, it's free!!!

Likely be getting a free entry to the FTOPS MainEvent.... or even sponsorship. (that's what my friend told me... so don't quote me on that one)

PO how and who is getting a free entry to FTOPS MainEvent...or sponsorship...details?

If you're an MTT player I would take the 'Freeroll' over the medals. Payouts are a bit on the flat side with ~1/3 of the field gettin' paid. (you can search for them in the fulltilt lobby.. just click on 'completed'... I think they run at around the 12th-ish of the month.. or second Sunday or something like that).
