Am I missing something or is this a kickazzdeal deal?

Most of the very large bonii clear hella slow, this is not one of the exceptions.

It takes a long time to clear and I'm not sure that there is much action there.

There is no catch. But just for future reference, there is a internet bonus discussion forum on this site that you will get better answers from.

The full tilt bonus takes forever to clear.. I played for like 3 hours one day and cleared 5.00 off the bonus

If you "just so happen" play at Full Tilt, then its cool I guess....but don't play at Full Tilt bevause of the bonus.

How many raked hands do you have to play?

it is not the number of hands but the amount of rake.

each dollar of rake gives you $0.06 cents

Ouch... Where I'm at it's for each pot raked 25 cents: you get 10 cents back, even if you folded pre-flop and were not a blind.

Wow, so that's 10k in rake to get the full $600? I'm assuming this is only rake you pay, and not what's been paid on the table. This is absurd unless you play really high I suppose. Not worth it.

$10,000 in rake for the table. $1,000 MGR.

But to answer the original question, the catch is that the site is rigged so that you drop a grand trying to clear a [censored] $300 reload. [censored].

This has been my experience also. FTP is almost certainly rigged. Seriously though, I don't think it's rigged but I've been getting hammered lately trying to clear this bonus. Absolute, never-ending brutal beats on the river. Beware!

I cleared both the initial deposit and the reload and had only 1 losing session out of ~25, playing mostly NL50 and NL100. I don't think it is rigged, and I am a very paranoid person.

Not a bad deal at all. I deposited the 600 on nov 11th, i have cleared 200 of the bonus playing .50 1.00 nl, 4 tabling, cause thats the max you can play. Probably averaging 3 hours of play a day. And yes there is plenty of action. plenty of fish to be caught there. So if yoor gonna play anyway I think it is a very clearable bonus!!

what you are missing is that the bonus rate totally sucks

11-26-2005, 01:22 AM
the catch is full tilt sucks balls.

everyone who seriously thinks it's rigged I should get to drop kick in the throat!!

Let me send you a HH of a recent .05/.10 NL session with well-stocked waters, then tell me if it sucks balls. In a particular hand (in which I was not involved), 1 donk was all in pre-flop (A7), another all-in on the flop (AKo on JT8 flop), 2 more in at the turn (2nd pair w/OESD, & 2PTK). 2PTK wins UI.

I reluctantly had to leave my session to eat my dinner, 2.5 buy-ins up.

It's taken you 2 weeks to clear $200 playing the $100 NL 6 max tables 3 hrs/day and you think that's 'not too bad' /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Are you serious? 4 tabling 6 max is maybe 250 hands/hr - you have played 14x3x250 = 10,500 for only $200 bonus - lol that's Party VIP rates

This month at $100 6 max I have cleared:
bet 365 $100 (c. 1000 hands)
empire $100 (c. 1500)
gaming club $100 (c 1000 hands)
william hill ($45) - (c 300 hands - ie 5 table hours))
total bet ($45) (c 300 hands - ie 5 table hours)
ritz club ($45)(c 300 hands - ie 5 table hours)
pokerplex ($50) (500 hands)
littlewoods ($45)(500 hands)

That's only about 5500 hands and just under $600

ie that's about 6 times the speed of the full tilt bonus

Is this bonus harder to clear than PokerRoom's bonuses? An explanation is appreciated with the answer please. ty!

Also, how is the traffic for .50/1 NL full ring games? On Pokerlistings, they seem only around the levels of Crypto-skins. I would think with their recent exposure, they'd be up to Prima-like traffic levels by now
