FTP Iron Man Challenge- Couple Questions

AntonHeat · #1 02-23-2007, 02:57 AM

Couple Questions

Is it worth doing??

How hard is the freeroll to win?

Also how hard is it to get 200points a day for a month to get ironman status?

Any Value in getting the medals instead of freeroll tourney 150medals 5k FTP points ?

Which is more +EV ?

Does it have to be 200 points every single day or can I just get like say the total 7k points or w/e in the month at any pace I want.

So far it looks like medals are more + ev since the 30k freeroll 5k max players is like only 6$ per person if 5k enter.

Thanks to anyone who can answer these.

How many players in each of the 4 freerolls last month?

Can you play only the highest one you are qualified for?

you have to get 200+ pts each day, you cannot get 400 pts today, and 0 tomorrow...

It is not every single day, but 200 or more points for 25 days of the month.

Anybody got the other answers?

I'm doing it.

I play $3-6 limit and it takes 200-250 hands to secure 200 points, depending on how loose my tabels are.

There is a big advantage for West Coast players because the new day starts at 9:00 pm, so I can log on at 7:30, 3-table for an hour to complete the current day, take a 30-minute break and then knock out the new day (ie tomorrow) from 9:00 to about 10:00. This way I only actually play 12-15 real days per month.

I decided to get the medals, because I can buy another $600 bonus, plus I am a bad tournament player.

However, I think that the tourney might a good call for February. Seriously, how many people are going to qualify for iron at 25 days in a 28-day month?

Hope that helps a little...

I sent an email to FT a few days ago with a few of these questions, however no reply, which is usual for this site, CS stinks, longest time they used on a simple query they actually got back to me on was 13 days.

Good question Anton, what if account get hacked etc, sick bad.

Pokerstars also have email only CS, but that is ok, as they answer the queries in a timely manner, Full Tilt is either lacking the will or skill to do the same.

PS: still no reply from FT 'Support'

If only Stars had monthly bonus's or like even 10% rakeback then it would be the #1 site by far.

You can go a long way with good CS and Public Reps
