I have to remind all to go into control panel-system-properties-advanced and turn off all the crap in the performance tab. You'll will be suprised what you don't use, but more surprised at how it speeds up the computer.

I use an AMD 3300+ with 1.5 gig of ram and yeah, I have lags, but 4+ tables are not a problem for me. And I recommend making Poker Tracker a "low" priority setting.

Good work Doug, thanks for listening to our feedback. I'm happy to see that one of my requests was included in your list (The PL 6-max tables).

The software isn't perfect, but it's good to see that the FT team is taking steps in the right direction.

I concur. I have most of those options turned off from when i read this great tech forum thread link. It has a bunch of things u can do, to make windows run faster by freeing up resources. http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=480183

Maybe it will help some of you that dont realize how many unnecessary processes you may have running.

11. Is there anyway we can choose the way the bonus releases for the next bonus? I hate the 20 dollar increments i much rather have the full release at the end.

- Really? I always thought most people liked increments better than all or nothing. We do have the capability to offer some all or nothing bonuses, and we may do that at some point. No real plans right now, though.

I definitely agree with having increments. I cannot imagine why someone would want a one time payment at the end - what about the times where you play through a decent chunk but can't finish it off for whatever reason? If it's the same amount of money, why would you want the one time bonus release?

On that note though, does the bonus HAVE to expire on the exact second listed as the end time? For the second straight bonus I've ended up trying to clear off my remaining portion on the last day, and had it expire with some bonus left while I was still playing. (obviously, the partial releases have been better for me) Could you make it so that the bonus will continue to clear AFTER the time limit is up for tables that you began playing at BEFORE the expiration?

[fnord_too]

I don't think I have been offered any of these bonii (unless they got grabbed by my spam filter, but I think I still see other ftp stuff, like when you put money in my account for playing at the times there were crashes). I have been a reasonably high volume player (6-8k in rake a month dec-march). Is there a way to see if I have a bonus offer other than through email or have I just been shunned [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

This by definition HAS to be a win-win for players and FTP except if someone is within a few dollars of making their last $20. If someone wants to stay online and junk out playing poker indefinitely, how can this not be a profitable proposition for the poker room?

I also agree the phased bonus release is definitely the way to go. Fine to offer the option, but it seems a bit ludicrous.

[Blaster]

I can see the point of getting/choosing a larger chunk of bonus money vs. the $10 or $20 "dribbles", for those people that would take a while to clear their bonus, provided you can't "lose" any bonus choosing this option ....
For example, if one could choose a lump sum every 30 days, on a $300 30 or 60 day bonus, you would receive 1 or 2 larger payments, of all you have cleared & are due up to that date ...
If you clear it all before the payment date, it is paid out right then, as it would be now...

2/4 and 3/6 HU razz please

and is there any chance you can make the default buy in on HU hold'em tables something other then 10BB? You can't even complete a hand with that amount. I don't think it should be encouraged. If people want to play with 10BB stacks, that's fine, but I don't think people be encouraged to make a strategic mistake and have bad etiquette.
