***Official November Chat Thread: The Golden Duck***

Is year end only for if you have been playing there all year?

[chicken10der]

the way i understand it, it's if you earn any iron man status any time in 2007, even if your first time is in december (including that being the first time you play at ftp). i didn't start playing until march.

[CalledDownLight]

How much are we talking about? Is it enough to make it worth it for me to start a FTP account and get the $600 bonus and 30% rakeback or whatever?

[five4suited]

Nah. You'll only make $100 for december if you qualify for ironman. Also, CDL: backup your db before you start trying to convert it. You should be able to find detailed conversion instructions on the PT forums.

Where?

[/ QUOTE ]
After clicking on promotions and Ironman status mine is above the calendar saying how many points you've gotten every day.

[/ QUOTE ]
pretty sure the "your year-end bonus status" box is just completely [censored] up right now and will be fixed to the correct amounts later. i have 17 'months' in my year so far.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I had 19, but it's fixed now. Weird.

This bonus is really meh. I'll take it, but factoring in all of FTP's problems, it doesn't exactly convince me to never leave.

[chip-star]

Jesus christ i've never ran so bad "maybe at $25"

These all all the AA hands i've getten allin with preflop or on the flop from the last 7k hands "7 hours" play.

[mab812]

how do i get the most value out of this hand? if i check-call the turn, i don't he'll proceed anymore with this hand.

if i don't check the turn and lead with the ace coming, it's likely he'll fold his 'possible' king there.

at least played this way (which might be bad)... i could get action if he flopped a set?

thoughts?
