I do believe we're getting fooled with.

It's just not that complicated.

Click, read, learn.

Just pick the medals, it will only hurt your MGR if you use them. Just let them pile up and then you might find a need for them later on.

Wanted to respond to this statement: Using your Iron Man medals for purchases in the Iron Man Store does NOT directly affect your MGR.

If you purchase a cash bonus from the Iron Man Store, the bonus amount will be deducted from your MGR. Likewise, if you use Iron Man medals to purchase Full Tilt points, and then use those Full Tilt points in the regular Full Tilt Store, your MGR will be deducted at the same $0.005 per point rate as other Full Tilt Store purchases.

Purchasing any other item in the Iron Man Store, including tournament entries or private tables, has no bearing on your MGR at all.

Would you say its better for me to take the medals or play in the bronze freeroll? I do not play much tournaments.

OK, here's a question. In "my status" it says:

"Congratulations on achieving Bronze this month. You have earned 35 medals for your performance so far, and 25 additional Bonus Medals. "

What are these 25 additional Bonus Medals for and how are they calculated?

The 25 Bonus Medals are for taking the Medals over the Bronze Freeroll. They're calculated according to the second table here.

As far as the number of people in the Bronze Freeroll, i think it varies between 1200-2000, though what percentage of those show up is an entirely different question. There's a $10k prize pool, so if 1000 show up, it's worth around $10...ignoring the opportunity costs and your relative skill level. 25 Medals would be worth $5 (ignoring the time-value of money) if you're patient enough to wait to acquire 3000 of them to cash for $600.

I have no idea about MGR and rakeback affects Medals and Freerolls since i signed up through Poker Source Online before Full Tilt offered it, dammit.

Hey, thanks a lot. That explains the mystery of how I got more medals than I calculated.
