Mini-FTOPS XIII Starts Today – But Don’t Forget Double Deuce on Sunday

September 9, 2009

As the Mini-FTOPS XIII gets underway today, we remind you of one of Full Tilt Poker’s other regular promotions, part of its weekly Sunday event schedule in fact, albeit a part that usually gets buried beneath the Big Money Sundays triad of: The Sunday Brawl, The $750K Guarantee, and The Sunday Mulligan. It’s called the $200K Double Deuce.

The difficulty for a lot of would-be Big Money Sundays players is that, if they don’t win their seat in a weekly satellite, they can’t really afford to get in the game because the buy-ins for the Big Money Sundays tournaments are too rich for their blood, with The Sunday Brawl costing $240 + $16, the $750K Guaranteed costing $200 + $16, and The Sunday Mulligan costing $200 + $16.

But how about a chance at a share of $200,000 for only 22 bucks. The Double Deuce runs every Sunday at 4:22 pm ET. Pay $20 + $2 and take your best shot at the grand prize guaranteed each week to be at least $30,000.

You can even get in on the game for much cheaper than that, in fact – with $200K Double Deuce satellites running throughout the week preceding each tournament, with buy-ins as low as 60 cents or 200 FTPs (Full Tilt Points – the currency for Full Tilt Poker’s player rewards program).

But of course, you have all the time in the world to play in these $1 million guaranteed total Big Money Sundays events, but the $3 million guaranteed Mini-FTOPS XIII only lasts for a short time, and as we said, it starts today.

Time To Gear Up For Mini-FTOPS XIII: Satellites Still Running

September 3, 2009

With the Full Tilt Online Poker Series XIII behind us, the change of months means it’s almost time for its lower-stakes sidekick, the Mini-FTOPS XIII to begin.

The Mini-FTOPS XIII was scheduled differently than Mini-FTOPSs of the past in coming after the main FTOPS XIII instead of concurrently with it, for one reason and one reason only: in order to allow more players to participate in both.

The Mini-FTOPS XIII features a mirror-image of the FTOPS XII events – a total of the same 25 events in all – with 1/10th the buy-in and 1/10th the guaranteed prize pool. It’s a pretty fair deal considering harsh modern times.

The Mini-FTOPS XIII starts September 9 and boasts a $3 million guaranteed prize pool. Some of the highlights of this latest incarnation of the internet’s favorite low-budget poker tournament series include the $266 2-day Event with a $400K guaranteed prize pool, starting on September 19 at 1 pm ET, and the $55 Mini-FTOPS XIII Main Event with a $500K in guaranteed prize pool, on September 20 at 5:00 pm ET.

In addition to the regular prize-money being awarded, Full Tilt is also giving every player to make any Mini-FTOPS XIII event’s final table a limited edition jacket commemorating the event. There’s also a Mini-FTOPS XIII leaderboard, the top finisher getting a prize package valued at approximate $7,500 which includes free entry to every event in FTOPS XIV.

Satellites are still running now at Full Tilt Poker to win a free seat in one of the Mini-FTOPS XIII events, including the main event itself. Buy-ins for these Mini-FTOPS XIII satellites start as low as $0.50 or 50 Full Tilt Points (FTPs).

Full Tilt Poker Iron Man Bonus

December 11, 2008

Now that another year is about to end it’s time for most people to start looking forward to next year and at Full Tilt there offering a great year end bonus offering for Iron Man players. As you know Full Tilt has been running an Iron Man Challenge where players earn a status level based on how much they played in that given month.

The year end bonus is being offered on a scale basis depending on well you did in the Iron Man Challenge and it goes back six months. The bonus will go back to July and count from July – December to determine how much of a bonus you’re going to receive. This means that if you’ve been playing at Full Tilt Poker for the past six months and earning status levels in the Iron Man Challenge then you’ll be receiving a bonus sometime in January which will be a great bankroll booster in the new year.

Bonus Payments

•    Bronze – $25 per month

•    Silver – $50 per month

•    Gold – $75 per month

•    Iron – $100 per month

Based on the above table which shows how much Fill Tilt is paying in bonuses to players you can easily figure out how much you’re going to be paid. For instance if you we’re ranked as a bronze player for the past six months then you’d get a $150 bonus in January. If you we’re ranked as an iron player for the past six months then you’d receive a bonus of $600 which is the maximum bonus anyone can receive this year.

If you’re new to Full Tilt Poker then don’t worry you’ll still have lots of time to become eligible for a year end bonus. They are counting December’s rankings towards the bonus which means if you earn any status level in the Iron Man Challenge this month then you’ll receive the listed bonus above. If you get to silver this month it would mean you would get a $50 bonus in January.

I haven’t seen any other poker rooms offering such a generous offer during the holidays and it makes me glad I use Full Tilt Poker for playing poker. It’s still early in the month so get in on this year end bonus before it becomes to late as it’s definitely a great deal for players.

If you want to win a ticket to this massive tournament then you need to compete in one of the few remaining satellite tournaments before next weekend.

There are currently four more chances of winning a seat into the $25K heads-up PLO tournament at Full Tilt so time is running out. If you’re interested in winning a ticket through one of these four remaining satellites then I’ve listed the times below for you.
