full tilt

I am switching to Full Tilt, is there anyway to make your own avatar, or are you stuck with what they have? And as far as their deposit bonus (100%), i plan to deposit the full $600, this means i need to play 600 raked hands to get the full bonus, right?

"i plan to deposit the full $600, this means i need to play 600 raked hands to get the full bonus, right? "

I don't know the exact number, but it's quite a bit closer to a billion.

Hmm, from what i hear you have to play at least a gazillion hands before you get the bonus.

I personally turned all avatars off when I was on there. you cannot upload any graphics automatically, though occasionally FT will run a tourney where the winner gets to pick a custom avatar along with other prizes.

I've played about 450 raked hands and have worked off $4.29 of my $71 bonus.

But I'm getting ever so closer to the 30^10 points needed for the bowling shirt....

Keep dreaming.

You need 10,000 Full Tilt points to clear the entire $600. Each point is worth 6 cents. You get one point for each dollar raked from the pot. 50 cents = .5 points. $3 raked = 3 points. So if you're playing 5/10 and assume an average rake of $2 (this guess is probably a little low), then you'd need about 5000 raked hands, or probably around 6,000 (maybe 7,000) total hands. If you're playing .5/1, where say only half of the hands are raked, and even then they're only raked 50 cents. Then you're looking at playing 20,000 raked hands, or 40,000 total hands. So it all depends on what limits you play. I'm going to start clearing the bonus this weekend playing 5/10, and plan on clearing it in about 4-5 days, assuming there are enough games going that are worth playing.

Read what others said about the bonus, it is pretty despised unless you're playing 5/10 or higher. Tis slow, ya.

If you have photoshop, you can make your own avatar, just open up any of the existing avatars .pngs, and replace it. Only you can see your "custom" one though.

The bonus is released in $20 increments though. Also you only have 120 days to earn it. I just joined myself and play .5/1. I probably won't be able to earn the whole bonus in the time alotted but I am gonna get as much as I can.

Mine gets released every $5, but maybe its different because I deposited far less than $600.

Yes, just win the $215 Borgata WPT qualifier (or the 200k guarantee).
