I'm pretty psyched.

[luckychancer]

I'm pretty depressed cos now I'll be tempted to play even more at this junkpile site to get the extra medals. An extra 600 medals a month on top of the 250 I'm already getting is going to be very hard to pass on.
For 13 month+ irons going into October that's a possible 1000 medals a month plus extra ones for opting out of the Aussie millions and possibly extra for opting out of the daily freeroll.

Surely now they will add some bigger points for medal items into the Ironman store?

[hime]

How do you get 20 medals in a day? The chart showed 10 was the max. Of course there's nothing live on the page to explain it, or wasn't before I went to bed...

[hime]

Aha, I get it... you stack the numbers. They put that really confusingly. The chart say 2, 3, 5, 10... you actually get a minimum of 2, then 3 more (5), 5 more, (10), 10 more (20).

Jesus, Full Tilt... do you ever fully cook something before you put it out? Hire me.

WTF! How and where do you opt out of these things?
Did I forgot to opt out of some BS things or are these promos only for selected people? I don't know I can play Aussie or something daily?!?

[hime]

Look at the my promotions page. It's useful.

[DMoogle]

It's also very broken ATM. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

WFM...

[paulee]

Seems to me that this addition still doesn't make the iron man worth it at all. Imagine that you get 2000 points a day and get the extra 20 points.

20 * 30 = 600 points. 600 points = $100 bonus. $100 dollar bonus for a month of work? please.

Considering most people put this in anyway... its a free 100 bucks.

Yeah, not worth it at all, you're so right.

OUH UCH ECH UUUUUUUUUUUUUU yeeeeeeeeees. $600 bonus every second day! WOU I want it.

The problem is that this issue is about medals. The most "dedicated" (as they call it) players get 400 per month (after a year of playing without a single month missing]. Now you can get 600 a month even for the first moth ever.

The approach is: now you can get the bonus once a 10 month. Now it will be available every 3 months. That's it.

I haven't found any way how to opt-out of "the daily freerolls". Where exactly can these freerolls be opted-out?

[RikaKazak]

YES!!!!!!!

I'm stoked

600 medals a month....plus 100 bonus for iron (I opt out of the freeroll cause busy saturdays) and I just finished month 12...that means another 300 medals....1,000 medals a month /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

WEEE!!!!!!!...$600 bonus every 3 months, I /images/graemlins/heart.gif you tilt!!!!

(p.s. add in aussie opt out for 200 a month, and it's less than 3 months technically) /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

Obviously the new additions are in addition to the prior bonuses. In actuality I was referring to the Iron Man program as a whole.

I've been getting Iron every month since the program started and the meager bonuses have NOT been sufficient to compensate me for having to play 25 out of 30 days each month.

Also, I'd like to point out that in order to get the 600 medal bonus, you need to put in 2k points per day. I would think that the average player does not currently reach 2k per day, and the average bonus medals per month (from this addition) will be closer to 300.

a.) I put in way more than 2K points worth per day already (although I agree for the "average" 2+2 player they do not do this)

b.) They keep adding little things on to the iron man promo and keep making it better and better...It makes me excited more excited for the promo (now only takes me 3 months for $600) and in addition it makes me excited about future add ons they might do

So overall I think the iron man/rakeback/random bonuses/tilt points is really making tilt a cool/fun/good place to play.

[morphd]

This is definitely a nice move by FT, I still wish they wouldn't make you play 25 days to get Iron. I'm not a pro player so I only get in 15-20 days a month between work, life, etc.

So I earn like 15k-20k points a month while only getting silver. If you earn 20k points in a month, that should be automatic Ironman imo.

I disagree

I think the main purpose of iron man promotion is to induce and reward frequent play as opposed to "mass" play. (Basically trying to induce a player who is going to play 1 session for the day to play on tilt rather than stars because of the bonus)

Now I think iron man plus is intended to reward "frequent play" and "mass play." (basically for the grinding mid statkes pros) Inducing us to both play their for our first session of the day, and our 2nd and 3rd session etc. (3 sessions is a typical day for me, and the first always goes to tilt, then 2nd and 3rd tilt or stars based on how I feel, but now it's going to be first 2K hands on tilt (2K hands = around 2K tilt points) then the rest of the hands tilt or stars.

(overall I'm a sucker for little promos and tilt's promo is going to increase my play on their site...if they uncapped it, say 500 points in a day = 5 medals or something, I'd play 100% at tilt probably)

[luckychancer]

It's a step in right direction for FTP. Now they need to add more items to the ironman store.

FT has been adding more the there store...I wold still like to see more item and a "cheaper" price tag..A "cheaper" price could easily be give to those in the Iron Man be giving a better conversion from Medals to FT points...

Try living outside the US, I'm never going to spend any points until I've saved for the Harley in 2020.

why do u have to live out side the US for that?

Hmmm, good point, I guess this may be more appealing to the mid-stakes pro grinders. For the 2 hour after work guys like me, it still equates to a few extra bucks for doing nothing extra so I'm not realy gonna complain /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[gieffe]

any date for distributing ALL store items outside the US?
any plan for improving the ironman store?

[BigBiceps]

20 medals is worth about $3.71.

No need to kill yourself trying to get 2000 points a day if you don't normally do it.

[toxzen]

anyone know approximately how much the aussie freeroll is worth? And what do you guys think about the little ironman chips next to the players names?

[paulee]

I hate the little iron man. Let's just put a big sign on all of the regular poker players so that the donks can avoid us.

Well, if I turned it on I did it accidentally. Unless you mean opting into the iron-man promo.

[mustmuck]

Okay, I just found the opt in/out on the iron man page. I really don't think I opted in at any point though, so I suspect that you start opted in.

[KEW]

I am not able to "opt out"/change preference...When I click the box the screen just turn gray and does nothing..

[luckychancer]

It gets a bit buggy sometimes but works eventually.

I turned it off in my preferences before even seeing the thing. Checking today, it was there and needed turning off again

[freecard4all]

same as sixfour. Turned it off as soon as they got the idea.
Yesterday the bar sinister is there and the option is on. I think they turned it on because many (well almost ALL) turned it off "accidentally".

It's very nice that FTP let the bots to play among us. And now will start punishing the regulars.

They don't need to rig the deck. They've found very legal way how to give the donks an advantage. The rigging theories has no match for FTP.

[Suigin406]

ugh, needing to disable that dumb symbol is gonna get annoying

[isukatpkr]

Just e-mail support, they can remove the symbol permanatley for you /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[sebbb]

thanks to FTP for helping my game selection

[kidpokeher]

Suigin, what is that avatar?

I want the symbol back now, but it won't come back!

You can opt-in and it will come back next month. But why would you like it back?

Do you think others like challenging Iron Men?

I noticed they challenged me more with the launch of the bar, but:
1) the sample size was too small
2) I feel better as a part of a crowd = don't need to think if the donk is scared of me or wanna play me because Im' "The Iron!"

yup, that's exactly what I want to make them. To fold bottom pair when I c-bet my aces /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Or do you think you can force them to fold trips against your AK c-bet on a raggedy flop? /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[freecard4all]

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]
maybe. But I avoid players with certain stats. Almost all of these players has such stats.
So I double-avoid them.

Franckly the only thing I play against them are pocket pairs (you know where you are).

Well I think they would want to avoid me also and I don't know how the donks look at it though.

Ah ok, thanks. Bought the game but never played it. Let a friend borrow it and he disappeared for a year, lol.

[hime]

Although lately you could just watch my play and know I'm a donk... $1300 after rakeback this month, under $1000 right now.

[freecard4all]

hmm 1000 down
1300 rakeback = 3900 rake paid
===
your opponents lost about 2900 USD while playing you. I don't want to offend you but you really aren't the opponent from my dreams /images/graemlins/wink.gif





BTW. I found out the chip can have some advantages. It will need more stats and the play should be different but it can definitely be an advantage against some opponents.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm baffled. After I got rakeback, balance = 1300+. No balance = 800+. I'm really playing great poker!

[freecard4all]

ou, now I understand. I thought you lost that "under $1000".

Anyway that means your opponents lose even more. Good reason to avoid border-line plays against you. Definitely turn on the chip /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[hime]

At this point I'm in the low 700s, so I'm thinking turning on the chip may tell the truth about me.
