Well, great to hear that full tilt poker still makes this event happening. They could easily shut this event down too just like they did with the Onyx cup due to the black friday in online poker. Now i'm really curios what the buy ins for sattelites are, there is no way an average player could afford a $10.000 buy in. Still, for the MiniFTOPS i'm sure i can register on some sattelite and join the fun. The prizes are very attractive indeed. Good luck to all that will participate and if you are in for the MiniFTOPS maybe we'll meet at the tables.

Posted by gazza2009: Not sure how long FTP will keep these events goin now us players carnt play because lets face in FTP and stars are/were usa dominated.
lol tbh there is 234k people on stars now so i think thats a bit over rated the loss of americans, it is big but not that big. i think they will do fine fulltilt im not so sure about
not to mention that all thats left for poker players on tilt is a hand full of good players and a butt load of "fun players" and by fun i mean dip sht donks that are just pissing people off at least with the americains there were some good players to help deal with the donks now its just russian all in donks "oh suited k3 all in all in"said the donk russian

I allready played FTOPS event 1 last sunday. Because of Black Friday the prizepool was reduced from 3 million to 1 million guaranteed. I diden't finish in the money. So this FTOPS-series isen't 38 million$ anymore!!!!!. It still says so but in fact is about a third of that. The main event is reduced from 7,5 million to 2,5 million, all the events prizepools are reduced!!!

My biggest question is that, how can i be sure i can get my money out of there??? In my opinion there is no excuse to FTP support. They stay quiet, for days, then say everything is ok, don't worry. When i try to cash out through monebookers they say, "sorry, it's not possible at the moment". I'm getting very sceptical about this. And also reading in 2+2 what people think is making me even more sceptical. All the FTP promoters, who used to be regulars in 2+2 are just vanished!?! What's that about? I don't know what to think anymore...

Paul: i cashed out 2 days ago at FT to my neteller-account and the money was in my account immediatly! So they do pay out, but i've also heard from friends having the same problem as you have(sorry, it's not possible at this moment). Gl, hope it works out
