MTT's on Full Tilt

[Skjonne]

Hi Guys

Full Tilt is offering a 50% up to $300 bonus that can be cleared by playing MTT's. I'm considering playing some MTT's there too. A couple of questions for those of you who play MTT on Full Tilt
[*]How fast does the bonus clear if I only play MTT's (no ring games)[*]How's the blind structure?[*]Are there a decent amount of tournaments available? (I'm a european and mostly play from 2-6PM)[*]How many players are there in say a normal $50 tourney

Thanks a million in advance

- Bonus is very slow. You get 7 points for every dollar in rake. But you only get 6 cents per point. So a $50 + $5 gets you $2.10 back.

- There are a lot of lower limit guarantee tournaments throughout the day. The $24 + $2 guarantees seem to be the most common.

- The $50 tournaments attract very small crowds. I just moved back the states from Germany and I remember playing $50 +$5's at 10 pm there with roughly 50-80 people. Good I suppose since it is very beatable. But if you want big prize pools FT is not the place.

- The blinds are second only to UB. Don't have the exact schedule but they are much better than poker stars or party poker. If you play $100 and up you get 2000 chips as well as compared to 1500.

Danke Sehr. Sounds OK, I'll give it a try. Do you know if the bonus (42% entry fee reduction is fine, me thinks) clears in increments or is it 300 or zip? Does it expire?

It clears in $20 increments. My deposit bonus expires about 6 months from my deposit date, so you have plenty of time to clear.

But yeah, they don't have much to offer in the ways of $50+ buy in MTT's. But the structure is nice and I like 100-200 person fields.

actually, part of the reason I play FT is because I like smaller fields -

I have an easier time making the money and withstanding the swings of luck with 100-300 players - you get into 2K players and I only make one of a hundred final tables - with less players I can make 5 to 10 times as many -

In response, both Party and Pokerstars have started tourneys with limited buyin fields - like 300 and 100 that start after a mega tourney - that way if you want a lower playing field you can have one - not everyone wants to slog thru 2500 players every tourney.

So much for variance. This kinds of consistency is the mark of a solid player. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

P.S.: Anyone have a link to their MTT schedule? I can't find it on their site...

This is incorrect. See the anthology stickied to the top of this forum.
