I have something scheduled that night, but hopefully it will be done close to 8. Will I be able to join in afterwards, even though we will have to pay rake while we are not there? I guess what I'm asking is will I still be seated at a table even if Im not logged into Fulltilt when it starts?

There is no rake, this is a freeroll and it is completely free for you to enter. Yes, you can pre-register then start playing when you get back. However, make sure you register before the event starts (you can register now) or you will lose your seat.

No, no one will tell you the password. Those who share this password with anyone will risk being removed from all future FTR freerolls and events.

Also, a friendly reminder:

Thanks, Chris, chadherczeg has now been banned. Let this be repeated, if you spam to get your post count up, you will be banned!

Appreciate it if people keep their eyes open for spammers trying to get the password.

wow 100 reply it' s very lot of post

should of allowed buyin players as well, i rarely get to play anymore so the buyins are what i usually play, shame buyins mean nothing more than they do

It is funny to see how many posters there are today that I've never heard of. And the number of posts that make no sense (see 1Rainbow above, dillinger63)

Hopefully I can play in the next one.

Cheers!

this will be nice

huh gl everyone

guys, now that we all know you lurk. Post in the BC forum. I swear after you post 20 hands in the BC forum we will make you better players. That is atleast worth the money you're hoping to win in this tourny.

Let's bump this again! I see that wvplayer86 has been taken care of, and now we have oketz1979 making a run for it! This is actually quite funny imo...

I've discussed this with gmml after reviewing chadherczeg's posts. I've sent an email warning to chad and unbanned him. If he continues spamming and doesn't start contributing, he will be banned permanently.

We're proceeding to ban all the other recent freetrollers and removing their spam posts.


I've also made an adjustment with our forum configuration to make it harder to post-whore.

An announcement from Bigspenda73 management:

I have nothing better to do for the next 3-4 hours so I will be picking off spammers one-by-one, your efforts will be FRUITLESS!

ugh, somehow wvplayer86 still managed to get through? Some people really have no life...

What about a date restriction? even 5 days would make a huge difference IMO.

FTR has an advanced content detection filter. I uses Maximum Likelihood detectors to determine whether posts are good enough to be counted. This is why Fnord is the leader, and BigRed doesn't even have 20% as many.

Okay...well...I made a good post already and It still shows up 0. I think you guys set the bar a little too high for a poker site. It's not really that big of a deal, this place seems cool but It seems like a lot just to get noticed around here.

Just my opinion.

That was a good post and I still have zero. lol Too funny.

PROZACH POST THE HAND SO THAT WE MAY LAUGH AT YOU AND YOUR MANY LEAKS!

I made a tough fold in this one IMO...

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em Tournament, 25/50 Blinds (8 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

prozachnation (Button) (t1350)
SB (t1470)
BB (t1190)
UTG (t2190)
Hero (UTG+1) (t1280)
rilla (MP1) (t1350)
MP2 (t1430)
CO (t1420)

Hero's M: 17.07

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 5, 2
3 folds, rilla raises to t100, 2 folds, prozachnation calls t100, 2 folds

Flop: (t275) 7, 8, A (2 players)
rilla checks, prozachnation bets t50, rilla calls t50

Turn: (t375) 7 (2 players)
rilla checks, prozachnation bets t50, rilla raises to t333, prozachnation calls t283

River: (t1041) 6 (2 players)
rilla bets t867 (All-In), prozachnation calls t867 (All-In)

Total pot: t2775

Results:
prozachnation had 9, 10 (straight, ten high).
rilla had 7, J (three of a kind, sevens).
Outcome: prozachnation won t2775

this is so unfair to new members :P

4 outer!!!

That was an awesome tourney!

Final results? Or is it still going?

USCcheese got 1st
some freetroller got 2nd
miekoskjqski got 3rd
I got 4th

Don't remember the rest

The brazilian mafia had a 9-6 lead on the last 2 tables. FTR hunkered down and took a 5-2 lead at the final table.

You definitley need to check finishes vs accounts before handing out gear, although I doubt the freetrollers care.

Good job, you guys!

Nice finish, swigg.

USCcheese got 1st

lol he busted me when he called my 3bet AI with A8s and drew out on my AK

i was watching him and he drew out his 99 vs a JJ 3bet AI too. haha.

nh sir! way to run goot at least a troller didnt win

I think I had like a million chips at that point so I was playing pretty silly to say the least. With the bad beats I've taken in the last week it felt pretty good to catch everything tonight. Winning hand of the tourney I had 9T suited I think flop came 778...I pushed Brazillian freeroll mafia called with trip 7's and I caught a jack on the river. Guess it was my night to be lucky playing poorly.

Gutted to have missed this but I was just too tired last night to get up at 3am. Intend to do so tonight for the FTR 500 tho.

I want to take a few minutes to congratulate those who did keep with the spirit of this event and did not share the password and did not randomly spam or post to get to it. While the majority of users who played had a great time there were a few incidents and a few players who either snuck in or scammed their way in.

I for one, do appreciate the efforts of the FTR Staff and Mods to make this a quality event for those of us who spend quite a bit of time and dedication to the site. Thank you admins and mods, we do appreciate it.

As towards the bfm, those who know, know... hopefully we can eliminate them earlier in future events.

Thanks, Monty. We appreciate your feedback.

We are implementing and changing some things to further cut back on the freetrollers and password leaks in future freerolls.

You're welcom Xianti, and I do have to add as a side note... your avatar... WTF?

Congrats USCheese, it was fun donating to your cause. It's so much fun to play like a fish at these...

I was 5th or 6th... I am anxiously looking forward to gear also!

Congrats everyone!
