Hey guys,.... I have 2 questions:
1) In the 2, 6 or 9 player S&Gs,....does the table ever go on a 5 minute break?
2) If I transfer $10 into my FT account to collect the promotional tournament tickets,...how long does it have to sit in there, or be used whether wholly or partially. Please explain the stipulations on that...how does that work?

#1. No I don't believe they do. #2 well when I transferred $10 to get an $11 tourney ticket I got my ticket straight away then transferred my $10 back to PS. Had no problems doing that. My ticket didnt get rescinded or anything if that's what your worries about?

Generally they do not go on five minute breaks, as far as the length of time you must leave the money there it depends on each promotion. It generally states right in the promo what the requirements are regarding the cashout requirements.

Okay, thanks toothdude,...I just found out about the breaks,...you are right. There are no breaks. I just went in a 6 player,...and it played right through the 55 minutes past the hour normal break time.
As for question 2,... You get the tics right away,...but there is also a 100% bonus for every dollar you deposit too. It's called the First Time Deposit Welcome package. You get a bunch of tics, and you get your deposit doubled,...but it only gets released 10% at a time, each time you accumulate 25 FT points.
I wanted to deposit,...then withdraw some back. So I won't be able to take it ALL back out. I want to leave some anyhow. I'm taking a liking to those ring games and S&Gs...

read each promo carefully. Best of luck.

Thanks man! That I did,...the reading carefully thing.
I also sent an email asking how long that promo is going on for. I need to spend as much as possible in PokerStars by Sunday so as to retain my Chrome status.... I'm REALLY liking those $100K Priviledge freerolls... I'm doing good in those....into the money in about 3 or 4 out of 5. Maybe 7 out of 10 is more accurate...

Well done mate. keep up the great work. You can do it. Just do not make the mistake of trying to bluff too much and for the love of God do not play too loose. It is better to play fewer good hands them more trash. What good is maintaining your chrome star if you go broke doing it.

1) NO WAY why did they left the players play a sng over than 1-2 hours??? they lost rake if let players play good... BAD-BEAT = another sng and another and another... till they get enough rake. 2) I think they will give you that ticket but they expire in 7 days :-? don't know sure but you can read the promotion condition or email them hope i was helpful, if not, i'm sure the users before me helped you

1) I think i never played that much time on one of those games to find that. I use to play turbo, and some (9 players) sometimes get to last more than half an hour, but i never took more than one hour to see if there would be a break, but i guess so, the practice may be the same for all kind of action;
2) You will transfer while the promo is running and you will get your tickets for that; miine took some days to be able on the site, but i had no problem with that;
hope i was helpful, if not, i'm sure the users before me helped you
