Those of you who play on Full tilt will no doubt be aware that the take2 promo is back and we are currently on day 3 of the 9 day promo. I bragged the other day how easy it was to play all 9 days and make an easy $25.
But i didn't read the rules properly until yesterday. I logged in to my take 2 page and saw that you have to make 5 ftp points for the day to count. Still quite easy except that I only made 4.35 points on saturday as I only played a few minutes of cash tables and played a lot of tourneys instead. I couldn't believe how stupidly i'd given up 20 of those 25 dollars. If i couldn't play at all one day then that would be ok but there was no reason not to get that day ticked off.
Then i got this email from fulltilt today saying that "For a short period of time on Saturday, April 3rd, your Take 2 status page may have been affected by a display issue and incorrectly stated that you had reached the daily points threshold required for Saturday, April 3rd [...] We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and have gone ahead and credited you with a day earned for your play on Saturday, April 3rd."
So now I'm back on course for the promotion. I don't know whether this is a sly move on fulltilt's part to keep me playing but I don't care. I couldn't be happier. That 25$ will come in handy as my bankroll has been on a huge down swing recently and I'll probably need this to play the private tourney I'm organising.

I'am still on course too,when you are playing it's not to hard to go to your promotional site and check how many points you have for that day,check time to time
Im still on course. I won 5 dollars from a full tilt freeroll 2 days before the promotion started so i felt that it was made to be.
Was pretty touch and go for a bit. Only having 1 full buy in will always do that to you. But im up to $25 so it should be a comfortable ride now.
Plus I have earned almost half of a $26 tournament ticket through the poker academy. It is so easy to follow the preflop lessons for some added bonus on the side.

For all who play in micro-limits, the promo 'Take 2' is the best promo in the world. Easy to do, are 25$ for free. This time is more easy to complete than the last, where 50$ in 25 days.

I've complete 8 out of 9 days now so providing fulltilt keep their word and have checked off my first day for me, 25 dollars will be mine by wednesday. Can't say i'm as happy as ScDossett though as I've actually lost money this week.
But it's Ok. I'm expecting a big win this thursday.

Naa i'm well of track with it...lol and it was soooooooooooooooo easy to clear i know, but i can not get to the pc every day,,,,, well i could but it just cause's me some grief and effort...lol and i'm not in to that effort isnt my strong suit, not for just $25. I suppose if i had very little then i'd have made more of a effort but thats that. got cash and lack of motivation. SAD BUT TRUE.

I just finished! Will get the 25 tomorrow. I broke even on Rush these 9 days. Sometimes forgot that KK and QQ get beat easily on Rush, and went all-in a couple of times that way. Bad move. Will play Rush more carefully from now on.
