Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) XVI – april 2010
It is amazing how time flies when you are having a good time (or just living the life). Why am I saying this?
Because it is time for Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) again! It wasnt long ago (in february 2010) when FTOPS XV was taking place. I am not sure if I wrote a post about it, but it was a big event.
More than $17 million in prize pool money had been won in total of 27 online poker events on Full Tilt Poker. As said above, now it is time for another Full Tilt Online Poker Series: FTOPS XVI!
So what can we expect from this online poker series? In short: a lot! But I am sure you are interested to hear about the details too, so here they are:
Details about FTOPS XVI
The FTOPS XVI will be starting on Full Tilt Poker from 23rd of April 2010 on and there will be a total of 30 events with a total guaranteed prize pool of 18$ million! Each event will be hosted by one of their Professional Poker Players.
Full Tilt Poker is obviously continuing its tradition in the sense that every new FTOPS is bigger than previous ones. I hope they will keep pushing the guaranteed prize pool limits in future events too.
Poker Tournaments on FTOPS XVI
There will be many tournaments going on, perhaps the ones I should mention are:
- FTOPS (Full Tilt Online Poker Series) Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of $3 million, and
- Two-Day Event tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $2 million.
A few more words about Two-Day Event, it has a very large buyin ($2,000 + $100) and will be starting on 1st of May 2010 at 19:00 GMT.
The playing structure is also worth mentioning: You start with 6000 chips and the blinds increases every 30 minutes (antes will be collected from the start).
The first day of this online poker tournament will end when players get into the money.
Another good news is that you can get a ticket for the Two-Day Event at FTOPS XVI by playing qualifiers and satellites starting from $1 or 50 FTP Points upwards! You will find them in the Lobby under the »Tournaments / Satellite« tabs.
Just like with past Full Tilt Online Poker Series, the FTOPS XVI is also spicing things up with interesting prizes like: There are even more cool stuff and tournaments going on at Full Tilt Poker during FTOPS XVI! In case you want to participate in the action and get a share of $18 million, you are invited to take part. Don’t forget, the FTOPS XVI starts tomorow at Full Tilt Poker, but you can start with qualifiers today! Good luck and see you around. Hey there! Hope you are having some luck with getting a ticket for the World Series of Poker 2010 Main Event Tournament. I have played a couple of $1 Main Event Seat tournaments but have been eliminated pretty quickly. So far, 209 seats for WSOP 2010 Main Event have been won on Full Tilt Poker and the number is increasing as you read this. Anyways, what I want to tell you today is that there are even more ways to qualify for the WSOP 2010 online. If you recall, I mentioned this in my previous post already, just haven’t wrote it yet. Before I go into details, let me just put all online qualifiers or satellites for the WSOP 2010 that I blogged about here on scatmann in one place. Just in case you missed it out: As you can see, I have already published 3 posts on World Series of Poker 2010 Main Event qualifiers or satellites! Well, it is time to add some more ways to those mentioned in my previous posts. Here is how to get a ticket for the biggest live poker tournament in the year 2010 for free: Full Tilt Poker promotion Race to the Main Event gives you an opporunity to win a $10K prize package for the WSOP 2010 for free! There are total of 50 seats to be won through this promotion in the following way: The first thing you have to do in order to get a WSOP 2010 Main Event Seat for free is to win an online freeroll tournament called Main Event Race: Round 1. These tournaments are running at Full Tilt Poker round the clock every day (the promotion started at 15th of April 2010). To continue, winning Round 1 freeroll will get you into Main Event Race: Round 2 tournament. In this freeroll you have to finish into the top 2. That will get you a ticket for the weekly Main Event Race – Finals Freeroll tournament. The Main Event Race – Finals Freeroll is the final tournament and if you win this one, the ticket for the WSOP 2010 is yours! I know it seems like a long way, but as I said earlier: 50 players will get a ticket for the World Series of Poker 2010 Main Event in such way. The best thing about it is that you can be one of these 50 players that will get the ticket for the WSOP 2010 for free! Just go to Full Tilt Poker (register first if you dont have an account yet) and start playing the Round 1 freerolls. That is it for now. It is possible that I will be covering more ways to qualify or satellite to the biggest live poker event this year so stay in touch. As always, wish you all the best and good luck at the poker tables! There was a new article published on Full Tilt Poker a couple of days ago that all those playing online poker with the goal of turning profit or becoming professional poker player will want to pay attention to. The author of the article, Adam Noone is a poker player from England who first saw poker on Television and then turned Professional after building his bankroll up by playing small stakes Sit & Go online poker tournaments. He had some big winnings already such as finishing 209th in the World Series of Poker Main Event 2007 and winning the Full Tilt Poker Million Pound Challenge in London (that happened in September of 2008). Today, he is one of the Full Tilt Poker Pros. It is interesting how he got the ticket for the Full Tilt Poker Million Pound Challenge poker tournament. He qualified online at Full Tilt Poker and after winning it went on to play FTP Pros Heads Up for £1 000 000! In order to win those £1 000 000, he had to beat 3 Full Tilt Pros: Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson and Roland de Wolfe. After winning agains Ivey and Ferguson, he was only 1 match away from getting that million. Unfortunately for him, he lost the heads up match against Roland and had to settle for £200 000. Anyways, to get back to the advice about poker from Adam Noone. Basically, what you will find in the article is an explanation of the difference between someone who is playing (online) poker for fun or entertainment and someone who is playing poker in order to earn money (either as a professional or as seasoned poker player). You can read the article here: Audit your game In general, Adam Noone says in case your goal is to profit from (online) poker games (meaning to become professional poker player) you should treat poker as a business. Why business? Well, because businesses regularly check and review their performance and discuss new tactics and strategies! Same should be said for Professional poker players: Reviewing and implementing new strategies is important and should be performed regularly. One of the options to review your game is to discuss it with your friends who are also involved in online poker, but you can do it on your own too ofcourse! As said, you can read the whole article by clicking this URL: Audit your game Leave a comment below if you liked it and/or have something to add! Good luck and keep in touch! In my previous post I was talking about WSOP 2010 online qualifiers and satelites and how you can get a Main event seat for only $1 (or even less if you satellite your way into The $1 Main Event Seat tournament or use FTP points instead). I have also tell you that there are other ways to get a ticket or an entry to the World Series of Poker Main Event 2010 on Full Tilt Poker too! Interested to find out what they are? I had an idea you will say yes! Keep on reading then… While I am writing this, 37 WSOP 2010 Main Event Seats have already been won on Full Tilt online poker room. Since the first $1 Main Event online poker tournament starts this Sunday (4th of April 2010), these 37 Main Event tickets were gained by one of the following ways: One possible way to get a $12K Main Event package online is to play online poker tournaments called Daily Shootouts. Basically, from 24th of March until 27th of June you have two (2) chances every day to win an WSOP 2010 Main Event Entry! These tournaments start every day at 15:30 ET (20:30 GMT) and 21:30 ET (02:30 GMT) and the maximum number of entrants into the Daily Shootout tournament is 81 players. You should also be aware that ONLY ONE (1) player (the winner) gets an entry for the Main event. Direct buyin for the Daily Shootout is $200 + $16, but you can also play satelites for $1 or 50 FTP points and get the ticket for this tournament in this way. In case you are interested in the type of poker games played, it is No-limit Texas Holdem. The 150 Seat Main Event Guarantee online poker tournament is another way of how to qualify for the WSOP Main Event at Full Tilt Poker. This tournament is really huge so to speak. There will be atleast 150 Main Event seats given away (around $1.8 million in total prize pool that is)! This tournament will take place on June 20th at 18:00 ET (23:00 GMT) and you can buyin directly for $600 or play online satelites and qualifiers to get yourself a ticket. The lowest buyin for the qualifiers is $1 or 50 FTPs, but some of them have much higher buyin. For instance, there was a 150 Seat Main Event Guarantee satellite tournament yesterday that had a buyin of $69 + $6. Check the Full Tilt Poker lobby for more of them. I forgot to mention one thing to you in my previous blog post: In case you win the WSOP 2010 Main Event and you managed to get a ticket through Full Tilt Poker, they will also give you additional $10,000,000 on on top of your first-place prize money! In case you make it into the money, this online poker room will automatically give you a ticket for the World Series of Poker 2011 Main Event tournament.
