Rush Poker how long does it take to get the badge?

[Cheese]

I've already earned 50 ftps playing rush poker, some of them during happy hour but still I never got my rush poker badge. I hate rush poker, and only played it to get the badge. Is there a certain amount of time it takes for the system to update?

It shows when you hit 50 pts the previous month, so it should show up next month.

 

[Cheese]

ah, okay. So you need 50 points every month to maintain it?

Seriously?

Badges, achievements and other stuff are quite hype for replayability in any game nowadays.

 

[WVHillbilly]

Seriously?

Really shows that FTP knows what they're doing with these badges, huh?

I ended up profiting while playing rush poker, and I'll never play it again since it is harder to get reads on your opponents. I like playing a table with the same players, so I can observe how they play and exploit their weaknesses.

I'm trying to get all 4 badges, as I believe some players will give me more respect, and fold more often to bluffs. I like to bluff a lot.

Yeah, thats how to get respect at the tables. The people with all the badges are the best players on Full Tilt, everyone knows this.

There is an option so that you dont see the badges on a players icon and Im sure a lot of people have it set that way. I know I do.

Yeah I know, but isn't it better to show them if you have all the badges? (or even more then 1)

 

[brank]

You missunderstood. If you are showing a badge I wont be able to see it.

I always hide my status on stars and full tilt when i played there, i dont think you'll get anymore respect for having them, people dont want to play with better people so i think it'd be worse for you. I keep them off so people think im a fish

 

[WVHillbilly]

I hid all but the "True Player" badge (the one you get for playing a single hand or w/e). I let others see that one. I turned them all off from my display. I don't think badges tell a single thing about a player so they just got in the way of the HUD.

Exactly they don't want to play better people, so they might get intimidated.

I don't think anyone gets intimidated by anything in the micros - especially not by the badges.
But that's just my opinion (I never look at the badges).

YES ..

I turn my Badges On/Off, that just depends on where and who im playing at the time.

I disagree. I'm a tournament player, and since I got my "academy badge" I've found a difference in the way players play against me(giving me more respect). The respect thing is only for when you play against the non-regulars....they look at the badges and get intimidated.

I seriously doubt this is anything beyond selective perception.

This might make sense if there was any correlation between earning badges and playing well.

^ this. E-peen FTW.

The silly thing is that in video gaming achievements are the way a lot of people measure how successful they are in comparison to others. In poker though we've got this little thing called real money that does the same thing for us. Slapping an achievement system on the top of it is pointless, though I'm glad to see in this thread that it's working in terms of getting people to play games they're no good at just to get a silly badge.

^ LMAO, apologies for the unconstructive comment but thats just funny, you get one badge for playing a single hand, another for playing rush poker for an hour ( micro's), one for completing 3 academy challenges, and some of them a ridiculous and the last one for making iron man, which to be fair can be difficult but has absolutely no bearing on the quality of someones play? I didnt think anybody put any pass on the badges, clearly i was wrong.

 

[marvingubba]

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.

These have never made any sense to me. Pointless.

I've already earned 50 ftps playing rush poker, some of them during happy hour...

I'm sure that FTP earned during happy hour do not count towards earning these.
