Just looking through the high stake games on full tilt there is a lot of pro's who seem to play there, most of whom i have never heard of. There names are displayed in red when they are at a table and i think that some of them have gained there " pro status " by playing on fulltilt and having a great win percentage or something i dont know. I only say this cause when i was watching one of them play earlier people was observing and saying congrats on getting sponsoored by ftp. Anybody shed some light has to how they get sponsored? i know it wont happen for me like but im just curious lol thanks

Hey, don´t worry about it. I´ve done it many times too. Sometimes there are just too many old threads, or the search function doesn´t work because of a wrong typed word. Keep up the good job.

@GeneYuss.....That's the spirit.....but you'll have to stand in line for the head-hunt im exspecting a call soon
I just read 1 of the pro's was kicked from the team cause he let other people play from his account and FTP pro's get 100% rakeback, I think the guy/girl who played lost about 5K in 2 months but made 16K rakeback.
The pro normally (when he played the account him self) made 100K just in rakeback in 2 months

Posted by GeneYuss: 100k is nice. What % rake back do you think they have or is it just the 30%. That is a lot of rake to pay..do you know who he/she was?
The pro's at FTP get 100% rakeback and the guy who got the boot was Jonathan Little. GeneYuss if you want a rakeback deal, just google it and a lot of sites will pop up but you can't get rakeback deal on a site where you allready have an account...as far as I know.

im not sure if you get rakeback for playing sit n gos gene as there is no rake involved in them, only the amount for the buy in and whatever the room itself takes but im not %100 sure so look around maybe you can

Posted by GeneYuss: Thanks M3turbo, Do you know any good rake back deals? And can I get rakeback for playing sit and goes?
Just search the web and pick the highest rakeback deal you can get, but be aware the rakeback is payed out by the site you reg. for the rakebackdeal at so choose a trust worthy site. Also have in mind that some rakeback sites state the brutto rakeback % and others the netto rakeback % this can be confusing when you compare offers. I simply chose not to trust any rakeback site and found a pokersite that gives rakeback them self directly into my account. Classicpoker gives from 30-50% depending on how many points you make. Allmost every rakeback deal include S&G but not all so you have to check to be sure.
EDIT: gotta say I don't think it's a problem to find a trust worthy rakeback deal but I found Classic who also had perfect mini tables so I can multitable on laptop

Going back to the original topic of fulltitl pros, i was watching one of them play last night and noticed somebody saying that if you reached 1 million fulltilt points and have decent stats there they offer you a chance to be sponsored and have yourown avatar and name in red. Anybody else hear this or am i being gullable? lol
