Hey guys,
I played that freeroll with 1993 players and I finished second. I played with one Russian at the final table, he took the first place, but he really deserve it! A very good player. He won $10 cash game ticket and I won $5 ticket.
But the problem is that I can play only "Courchevel Hi" (have a look at the screenshot) I can use only two of my 4 cards, right? And combinate it with 3 of the pot right? But it is very weird. In Texas Hold'em the flop is three cards, and here at that game "Courchevel Hi" the flop is one card, I mean the first card, after that appear at the same time the second and the third card and after that turn and the river.
That game is like Omaha Hi, right? Anyone played "Courchevel Hi"? I can play only there. I have 7 days to make 125 FTP and I will get $5 from the ticket. But I am not allowed to play with that ticket any other games like Hold'em, Omaha, Stud. Just have to play "Courchevel Hi"!
Also I received an individual bonus offer from FTP, a bonus of $5. I have two weeks to clear the bonus. For every 12.50 FTP, they will pay me $0.50. When I make 125 FTP I will clear the whole bonus of $5.
Did you receive similar individal bonuses from FullTilt Poker as well?
Best Regards, Peter7878

It seems we all have this offer as a bonus. I earned about 30 FTPoints yesterday.

Simply, I just don't get it! I won $5 New to the Game Ticket, but I am not allowed to play New to the Game Texas Hold'em. It opens a window explaining: "Sorry, you are not allowed to play New to the Game". I played there before and i won quite good but I think may be there is a limit of days of playing at these tables, and when you reach that limit you can not play there anymore.
Instead of that today they add me another game to play with that $5 ticket which is called "60" (PL 6 Card Omaha Hi. Omaha with 6 cards?
I just have one question! I should use 2 of my cards or 3 of my cards combinated with 2 or 3 cards on the flop I am asking for 6 Card Omaha Hi!

cool game format really, as djpremier said i also prefer the hi/lo version (i just like hi/lo games more). u have to use 2 of your cards with 3 from the board. must say omaha is a swingy game in it's usual form- but added 5th card makes it even more action packed...rarely any hand goes without someone jamming in max they can...gl, update how it went

In all the variations of Omaha you are always use two cards. The one with the six cards isnt so great to play. There are too many combos with all these cards in play and it is a lotto play sometimes, depending on the players involved.

After playing one hour at these new game tables I made 15 FTP and I lost $5, so I lost the ticket as well. This is crazy. When you look that you hold AAKKQT of course you would go all in and I did it. One guy from Germany called and he had flush. I had two pairs.
So, the game with that ticked finished for me. I registered today the Star Code SIMPLE1, so I have to make 60 points to receive the ticket for $75 000 tourney on Nov. 11.

I have never heard of this game. To use your ticket without learning the basics will be very naive. You done really well to get second place in that tourney so dont waste your ticket on this game until you have at least played 1 good session of it

Hmm lol what the hell is that game, I know pot omaha, and omaha hi low but never heard of this variant before. Anyway glad you won something out of it despite not knowing much about it.
On you guys talking about pokerstars novemeber mission? Last mission this week it was fun, but i preferred the flip tourney when full tilts had them, easier to qualify no need to get the vpps, anyway hope you get some money back you have to flip like king to get something lol.

Excactly true . I completely agree with watever you are saying . But again its freeroll and they want people to spend large amt of time at their tables . And many do if they want free money . its for attracting people and once your addicted you will deposit thats the plan .
But yeahh these $150 freeroll is the most frustating thing i ever plyed playing for 5 hours & then we get 0.11 dollars !! that too if we ake it in the top 45

Wow, second place from nearly 2.000 players-gratz! But i think you Need 6-8 hours for this great place- the hourly winning rate is not really big, but it is a really great run

Guys what are you thinking playing that tournaments? You need to play more than 3-4 hours to take 0.11$? So better go find poker platform where on a freeroll you have 100 players and buy in is with tickets so no intruders will join or password will not leack!
I played with one Russian at the final table, he took the first place, but he really deserve it! A very good player. He won $10 cash game ticket and I won $5 ticket.
but I think may be there is a limit of days of playing at these tables, and when you reach that limit you can not play there anymore.
I am asking for 6 Card Omaha Hi!
