Full Tilt medals
 

I couldn't find a thread discussing what was the best purchase for the full tilt medals.

In my opinion the low 26$ tickets where prolly the best option.

However i play sit and goes all day long so this seems like almost a waste for me.

I was wondering what people thought the best options where which ones are best against mgr etc etc.

I was also wondering what if any of the items goes against your mgr.

And if there are like 5 of these posts already just call me stupid and point me in the right direction.

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

i think i agree with your $26 token option. It does not count against your MGR as long as the tourney you use it for has no overlay.

second option is trading for the 5000 full tilt points....you won't get a MGR hit right away with this, but it will come out of your MGR when you spend the full tilt points.

Or you could do what I am doing, and save them and hope Full Tilt adds some better stuff in the future.

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

yea, i would think the 26 tokens seem like the best value as there is rarely any overlay in those tournies (i think), trading it for 5K points isn't too bad, but eventually that will hit the MGR...i too am saving mine in case they add some good stuff later on...asking full tilt about that hasn't yielded anything though...

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

ya thats the way i was leaning.

Im thinking of saving for the points to get the 24" moniter.

Back when they first put the medals in FTPdoug was saying something about the bonus' hitting your mgr different or something.

Was wondering if anyone had done the bonus to see how it affects mgr or if its treated just like a normal bonus.

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

^^wow, if the medals were traded in and the bonus counted against the MGR, man, i can't imagine that's the case...

That is the case. Doug confirmed it somewhere. You trade your medals in for the $300 bonus, that's $300 deducted from your MGR.

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

^^wow, i'm having a hard time believing this, not to say i don't take ur word for it, but seems pretty brutal for people who want this option...

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

I'm really sorry if my question is stupid - but I've never heard of FTP medals though play there for quite a long time. Please, explain what does it mean and what can they be used for?

Thank you beforehand, Daemond.

Go into the cashier window, click on My Promotions, then click on the Iron Man page.

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

thank you

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

^^jeez, that's bad luck dae, i remember this happened to me for the first few weeks, all my default otpions were set to the freerolls, so i lost out on some medals because of that...hopefully u get the settings straight...

Re: Full Tilt medals

They did back-calculate your "# of months in" from fairly far back. Sucks I had no reason to care about actually making an Ironman level every single month, although it would have been trivial if I'd cared to do it.

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

email to FT was returned saying there are no current plans to upgrade the store in the near future, so i guess i may just use them now...

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

Question, is the 300$ bonus just a bonus, or is it cash in hand? It would seem kind of pointless if it was subject to same rules as a deposit bonus...

A hit to the MGR for spending the medals and then a hit to your MGR everytime you clear an increment of the bonus

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

oober, i think it was mentioned that ftpdoug said the bonus cash would not have to be cleared like a deposit one, but that it does deduct from the MGR like a deposit bonus...

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

So far I have got 2 $26 tokens, and a $75 token.

Net results from the 3 tournaments: $0.

Well I definately dont mind that. Thx. Even being a RB player is still not too bad of hit.

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

how is the bonus cash cleared, same rate as the deposit bonus?

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

^^the bonus cash isn't something u have to clear, it's given to u in a lump sum...it still however is taken out of ur MGR 100%

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

Is 100 medals most you can earn in one month (it increases with months) or is 100 medals per 200 points in 25 days...ie. if you get 1000 points in a day for 25 days you'd get 500 medals?

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

^^amon, now the max medals per month is based on how many months ur in the iron man challenge...

i'll take myself as an example, i'm in the challenge for 2 months now and I made iron, so I received 120 medals because i was able to play 25 days of 200 pts...i also opted for the bonus medals instead of the freeroll, so u get the base (month 1) amount for whatever you were that month, so i got another 100 medals for iron...

ex... 13 months + iron = 300 max u can earn a month and then u have to decide whether u want the freeroll or the bonus medals...

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

Sorry for the noob question, but what is "overlay" on a tourney? And can you use the tokes for regular tournies or just sngs?

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

^^00, overlay is the amount the poker site puts up to reach the guaranteed prize pool, if there is one...

example...full tilt has gauranteed tournies with prize pools...say if it's 200K, if the amount of buyins from people only reaches 130K, full tilt will put in the remaining 70K to reach the gaurantee and this is the overlay amount...it applies to some smaller tournies also...

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

Also they have a wsop promo right now, if you get 3000 points a week you can play in the freeroll or get 75 medals.

For your reference, you may wish to check out the above thread for an earlier discussion about Iron Man Store purchases.

I wish to correct some incorrect information regarding the behavior of the cash bonuses that may be purchased via the Iron Man Store.

A bonus purchased from the Iron Man Store is not instantly released in a lump sum. Instead, the bonus is placed in your bonus account, and must be released incrementally like the 100% initial deposit bonus. Iron Man Store bonuses are released in 10% increments, or $20, whichever is greater. Iron Man Store bonus amounts will be deducted from your MGR.

However, unlike our other bonuses, an Iron Man Store bonus never expires; take as much time as you need to earn the required points to release the entirety of your bonus.

Also, to clarify something that Oober mentioned earlier in this thread, spending medals at the Iron Man Store does NOT affect your MGR directly. The only way your MGR may be affected due to an Iron Man Store purchase is if you buy one of the two bonuses.

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

^^oops, sorry then, i thought the bonus counted against u, but didn't have to be cleared like the usual ones...

sheesh, makes that bonus award look cruddy

as for spending the medals and effects on the MGR, u said direct, so i'm guessing that if it's used for points, then when u use the points, it will still count...guess that's what u meant...

Remember that not everybody has RB. Far from it. To them it's free.

Thx for the link and for clearing up things Sean. Glad to get everything explained. The bonus is still not bad even though you take the mgr hit. Unless theres something in the store i really want ill prolly end up doing that i sappose.

Don't sappose if you happen to get a reload while clearing a bonus from the iron man store the new bonus would clear first due to it expiring. (I know its very unlikely [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] )

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

Actually when I was doing the PPA bonus and got offered a bonus from FTP they both cleared at the same time. (Sweet!) Dunno if that would be the case?

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

it would be cool if they did we take the mgr hit either way

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

is it possible to transfer 26$ tokens to another player on FT? (either someone who doesnt have rakeback or just has a higher EV in the 24+2 MTTs)

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

Sorry I am still unclear about the bonus situation. If you have RB and purchase a bonus you said 100% hit against your MGR? does that mean -$600 or $600 X 27% = -$162 meaning you can still profit $438 off the bonus??

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

^^fidodell, it means that if ur MGR is 2000 and u purchase the 600 bonus, when u finish clearing the bonus, it will deduct 600 from whatever total MGR u had for the month, and after that deduction from the MGR, u take 27% of the final MGR as ur RB...

Re: Full Tilt medals
 

so yes what fidodell said
