Full Tilt Take Two

[LuckyChippy]

I hope it's the last post needed on the matter (or that it's been mentioned before) but if you add the Iron Man widget to your FT browser it shows your true FTP count in real time. It's not affected by happy hour or anything.

Also I think I got screwed over by the random points thing too. I apparently got 4.85 points on the 9th even though I got something like 8 points to avoid shit like this (according to the Iron Man counter). I plan on playing every day anyway since I grind cash and I'll only kick up a fuss if I'm forced to miss a take2 day.

i really don't get it. The iron man counter i use said i had 7ftps. This was yesterday and the Take 2 homepage says i got 5.08ftps. Everyday it seemed to stop rite below 5ftps when (according to iron man) i had at least 7ftps. im not grinding rite now and just trying to get these points and its a guessing game whether or not my points will be accurate

 

[LuckyChippy]

Hmmm, you're right. Iron Man said I got 55 points, Take2 says I got 45. Weird.

Are you guys playing rush? If not were two tables going at the same time the WHOLE time you were playing? Also if you are playing over 2 tables only the top 2 count toward take two.

Not implying yall didn't know this, just checking.

I'm guessing they didn't actually adjust your points. .

Well I'm guessing that you're guessing wrong, lol.
It was the pts. for the 8th that they had me at 4.2 (but this was on the 11th, and pts. for 9th, 10th, & 11th have stayed the same). I also got an email back from support, telling me they'd been adjusted (didn't get the email til' today, the '12th').
I pay close attention to how many pts. I'm picking up.. cuz I hate playing those tables, lol.

I've got ~dozen names now in my player search for extremely fishy players (you know, the overaggro spewy ones who are happy to rrai on flops with AIR.. as long as they've got an Ace). Sat on a couple of tables with one of them, played 250hands (4tables 2nl), & won the bit $3 & picked up 7.5pts. (5.6pts. for Take2)

Looks like I'm back to goin' for the $25 now.

Sweet, Full Tilt are really bustin out the promotions these days. I'm not too sure how long it takes to earn the 5 bonus points but from what I remember it took about 30 mins on 2 1c/2c tables (coulda been 2c/5c)

Think I'm gonna go for 5c/10c this time to get it over with cos I'm not the biggest fan of cash games.

It is a very good program for my little account. I play three tables with 0.01C/0.02C, to earn 5 point "Take 2" cost me 2 hours. of course, if you all in several times, 5 points "take 2" should be earned quickly.

 

[bbc8712]

I had reach 1 level today. And my goal is to continue to play to get another $20.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

I play three tables with 0.01C/0.02C, to earn 5 point "Take 2" cost me 2 hours.

Woof. I make 5+ points in 45 minutes or so on two tables.

Of course the new FTP distribution favors loose fish like me.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Take2 on 2nl, soooo riggged

wow i keep forgetting only top 2 count towards take 2. Somebody else pointed that out to me but obv i forget within the next day and think "wtfffsss where is my points at???"

 

[Zorba]

Woof. I make 5+ points in 45 minutes or so on two tables.

I made 5.45 points today for Day 6 within 25 mins and 81 hands of 1 table rush, and a bonus of $8.22 from the loose aggro fish, total profit $23.22 over the 6 days so far.

This is so easy to get the $25.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Yah 'super easy', except when you get a bunch of this stuff, lol

No I'm not going to post a zillion screenshots in this thread, lol. Just figured I'd pull one out of my "F k u Take 2!" folder.

Day 6, +a small amount of pennies. LOL.

Better than a loss which is what the day was turning into. Tons of 3-4 betting. Must be that time of the day. LOL

3 more to go.

 

[danprince10]

Free money gotta love it, should be easy with rush poker.

 

[BluffYou123]

Day 6 down. Up another buyin so think I'm in profit for the week now in cash. WOOHOO!!!

 

[bobsay225]

Day 7 down up 10 rite now took a beating yesterday but just cruising along

 

[BelgoSuisse]

Of course the new FTP distribution favors loose fish like me.

Actually no. FTP are still awarded based on dealt rake. The only thing that moved to weighted contributed is the MGR computation for rakeback.

Missed two days already as I expected, so this promotion is going to be worth an astounding $5 to me, plus the extra 1k to 2k points, which is worth about another $5. Splendid value obviously considering I've raked at least $300 since April 8th.

arty:

Up about $1k at the tables during that time, though, so it's not all bad I guess...

 

[Zorba]

Day 7 completed, I went down 1 buy in today to a runner runner 4 flushing fish, but I am still in profit for the 7 days, so all is still good.

Good luck to all on getting the easy $25.

 

[takethepain]

Missed one day, but up one buy in and I am confident I'll still get the $25. Great little promo for sure

 

[PoKeRFoRNiA]

day 7 completed also. up 1 buy-in within 500 hands. was breaking-even for 400 hands and then this hand occured. =) Up 1 buy-in. =)

Nice hand Froggy, it was good of the big blind to add his $2.63 into the pot, gotta love it when they play that crap pre.

 

[bigjoker66]

Got my $5 .. out of town this weekend so not going for the full $25. Up a bit.

 

[KerouacsDog]

completed 7th day, but lost a few cents after fish hit two pair on river(I was crushing him thill then).
Been keeping a record of gains/losses over this promo, am currently up $7.85 over it, which is nice as Im not a cash player.

 

[Poker Orifice]

I'm thinking 5nl Rush is the way to go for this Take2 (for a micro roll).. play on those tables is pretty nuts.
I logged on to FTP just before the day was out & needed to get my big 5pts. (so I played RUSH 5nl instead of 2nl)... glad I did. For 'fun', every time I was dealt 'AA' I just open shipped 100+bb's.. was nice of them to call with TT & QQ, doubling up twice, lol.

 

[lightning36]

Simple, easy promotion that put a little fun into playing for me. I tend to fool around in cash games late at night. I was playing before midnight and after midnight and therefore cleared two days of the promotion with a minimal amount of time invested the other night.
