I started playing on FTP 2 weeks ago, and now i it's getting better. I think i will move here , since i played on pokerstars 4-5 years and never got more than $25 in a few months and then lost them, and 888poker played some time had almost $100 and lost them. Now on FTP after 2 weeks i got my 1st couple of $ in a freeroll $150 , got 5th place out of 7500 players last night. Now in a few hours i got to $30 so easly playing Ring games , Rush Poker and i won few tickets to the $1000 weekly freeroll. Now i'm thinking seriosly to deposit on FTP the money i won from BRM, and hope to not start losing. Here is the crazzyest hand from Rush Poker in my opinion.

Sorry... but what Rush Poker is ? Is it a local variant of Zoom ? Or it's something different?
PS. Nice results, bro! Keep it up! The one reason why PS is a bit better than FTP is the promotion system - with FPP, FPP store etc. FTP doesn't have store

i would be very happy with those winnings on ftp ,,but i also would cash out the whole bankroll and deposit it on another site...most people know where i play ..
Just check out the tournament structures at FTP and compare them with other sites,,
FTP is a rip off...those structures are the same as before black friday and if you ask me...they suck
45 player sng ..... 6 places get paid...on stars that's 7 players and this goes for all tournaments over there,,,you pay more ,but you have less chance to win or get itm..which is the first step to make profit..
i was a fool and unexperienced,,believed all jezus ferguson had to say ,,and thought i play there,, now even since pokerstars took over,,the structures are still the same .. a reason for me to not play there with my money,,i'll only use those freeroll tickets they gave me and get the hell out of there... another thing , the single table sng's are all supershortstack ,with just 300chips..that's not playing poker ,,that's wath i call gambling..forced gambling.. you never know or have a clue what your playing against ,because everybody is shortstacked and desperately in need of chips. at pokerstars the minimum amount of chips in those sng's 6 player is 500 chips..they are even hard to play and win constant...but much better then 300 chips..
please feedback on my post,
What do you think about FTP,since they relaunched ??? tournamentstructures ,traffic or whatever interesting thing you want to share with us around FTP.

congrats for your winning. I wish you found the best home poker site for me FTP is not different with other site ! last night I played freeroll and saw someone won 4 times consecutive in a row, 1st and 2nd hand she really had good card and play ! but third and fouth not good enough Q10, 57 os shove and won. Seems she now FTP random system
Just a point. the sngs arnt all short stacked on ft , i play them every day and 1500 chips
------------ I like ft, i ve tripled my deposit already, i think everyone likes different sites, i used to play a lot on pkr,but ive moved over to ft , its horses for courses

Very nice, split for rake... that is how it working online poker... you can win with 27o and lose with AA or split... all the method to generate rake ...

It's not better or worse value regarding how many places are paid.. If only 6 are paid instead of 7 then those 6 get a bigger cut.
Personally - I prefer the more top-heavy payout structures. The more the money is weighted towards the top and the less players paid - the more skill is rewarded. Some tournaments stretch the pay far too thinly - PKR started doing this with their new MTT schedule - sure - more chances to cash and the fish love it "I'm in the money!!! yhayayay" but the regs/sharks all hate it because then the top 3 payouts aren't worth as much.

I've just got to move the fudge out of the U.S. so I can play poker. I guess in April or should say by 2013 that just may happen. With any luck I should be collecting anywhere's from $250,000 to $650,000 in cash and if all goes well I will move to another country just to get away from the BS this country is full of.

I would say come to Aus except online poker technically isn't even legal here. And while there is no definitive move to effective ban it, it's certainly something that might one day happen. Our government tends to be more progressive than the USA for sure, but basically still pretty backwards in many ways.
Canada probably the best bet for someone moving from the USA.

From what I've seen, the only tournament that has changed, is the steps. Step 7 now offers cash prizes instead of live tournament packages. Other than that, the tourneys are the same. Hell, they even run the Daily donker still. I've ground out STT's on both Stars and FT, and find the games on FT MUCH softer. The payout structure on both FT and stars are the same, a standard 50/30/20 structure, AND ft charges lower rake. Something like 10% on Turbos, vs 15% at stars.
Personally, I HATED Stars STT's for a lot of reasons, which is why I'm SOOOOOOO happy ft is back.

i got a 200$ bonus to play for ,but i will not deposit a dime over there,,,
sorry,, just not my place to be,i guess..
also checked my results there ,and although it was in the beginning of my onlinepokercarreer,,
ROI below freezing point...so have only lost there..
then i like pkr better ,but i don't like the 3-d b******t...a reason for me to leave that place ..and they offer also gamlbing..which i am vulnerable for...if i go tilt...i just might play all my bankroll on roulette or blackjack...so to protect myself i don't play at any site which offers poker and gambling..
blew my tiny bankroll a few times on roulette ,,at pkr...won't happen again...i deleted the software,,hahaa
oops, i did curse a bit in this post,,,sorry for that,, was too exited...won't happen again..
bad habbits will be copied..sorry again..

I had this issue too, with PKR. but you CAN self-exclude from everything except poker, that is what I did. But when you do it you need to say "don't let me undo this" otherwise you can revoke your self exclusion (although that takes about 24-48hrs).
