Hi, is anybody a member of the RFC? I was wondering what's the watch they feature on their page.

I know there are a couple of guys on this site that are in the club. Not sure what the watch is but they have said that it's nice. Also, a couple of guys just recently played enough hands to get the free TV.
As for the "use the search" thats a lame response. Why even respond. This guy has a question and posted it to a forum that answers these types of questions. Also, the search function is way over rated and confusing as hell, especially when compared to other sites. For the majority of people on this site the search function returns absolute garbage. I suppose if you know how to use search language it may be helpful but lets be honest only a handful of people on this site know how to effectivley use it...I am not one of them.

thanks a lot. Yeah, I found a couple of threads, but none of them really mentioned the watch.

ditto to the above......seems to be a spreading disease here to reply to genuine questions with smart ass answers/"use search" response. have we really got too good/busy/important/arrogant to answer questions from the "noobs"?
btw...to the OP, cant answer ur question....sorry for the little hijack rant /images/graemlins/blush.gif

I've found that on almost every site I read, people say the search sucks compared to other sites. From my experience, the search function sucks on pretty much every internet message board in existence.
That said, I think most people use this as an excuse to never search for anything. Someone else will either answer them or will do the search and give them a URL with the answer. And that's weak... My feeling is search first, then ask away.

I believe MicroBob is a member of the RFC. I'm working my way up but it's taking forever because I only play cash games. I've played about 40K hands at empire (30K at 2/4, the rest at 1/2), and I have about 1000 points of the 25K it takes to be a RFC member. If you play tournaments you get there faster. I have heard people mention that they got jumped to VIP around 1000 points which allows you to gain points faster. Hopefully I will get bumped soon.

I (and several other 2+2'ers) am in the RFC.
Some players get bumped to 5k points after their first 1k or so.
Other players NEVER get bumper to 5k.
Nobody knows what their criteria are.
you might get bumped...or you might not.
The watch is a Citizen's something or other.
silver watch with a blue face (and a little empire logo on it).
Someone said it retails for around $150.
It's not a half-bad watch.
far more important for reaching 15k points is the free $100/mth.
you deposit $1k each month and they just GIVE you $100 (no raked-hands requirement or anything...you just get the cash direct into your account).
In fact, since it's Oct 1 now I need to make my deposit to get my free $100 (takes a couple days usually before they transfer the money to you).
While the $100/mth is far more important...the watch is reasonably nice (as is the TV you get at 25k points).

I got this one (http://www.capitalwatches.com/Description.asp?id=1514&page=Eco-%20Drive%20Men&fname=ECOSport.asp&txtSearch=) a couple weeks ago.
It's not a bad watch.

How big were the MTT's, and how many? I'm thinking of trying this. I'm about 1100 now and want the bumb.

Lets see. I played 10/11+1 for a couple days. I was also playing some SNG's. My usuall pt's for the last 30 days was ~300.
I did the MTT's for 2 or 3 days. Then boom I got the e-mail.
I was also playing 2 tables of 2/4

I just got the bump to VIP. I only play cash games and have not once played a MTT. I guess it's just totally random. If i dont get a another bump there is no way i can get 25k playing only cash games. It would take forever, and i play a ton.

Do I have to have 15K points in my account to become a RFC member, or do I just need to acquire 15k points?
What I'm saying is, do I save up points to buy prizes with until after I'm in the RFC, or does it not matter? They have those $100 bonuses you buy with points, which looks really nice. For PartyPoker, you just had to acquire an X number of points, so you could get their freebies and still work towards their vip memberships.

You just need to acquire 15k total, you don't need it to be in your account. So feel free to spend it on whatever.
Has anyone gotten bumped from VIP to RFC? Or is it just up to VIP?

watch is ok, and as the other poster showed. It has a giant Empire Poker Logo in the middle though.
I just got bumped to vip also.
about 30k hands of 5-10 full ring lhe in 3 months. I had fewer than 1000 'points'.
no tournaments of any kind.
my friend got bumped for doing 2 weeks of 400NL 2 tables. maybe thats why?
