ftpdoug 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Some people have sent in e-mails already, so I thought I would explain how the jackpot works to clear up confusion. For details and daily updates on the jackpot, you can go to http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/dd Every night at 9:00pm and 9:02pm EST, there will be two $10+$2 tournaments on Full Tilt. The juice is $2 because $1 of every entry goes into the jackpot for the next night. Playing in both of them makes you eligible for our Daily Double Jackpot, which is starting at $10,000 tonight. To get a piece of that jackpot, you can: -Win both tournaments and get 75% -Make two final tables and get 20% (or share 20% if someone else makes both final tables) -Cash in both tournaments and share 3% with anyone else who cashes in both. -Have the best average finish in both tournaments, and get 2%. If you finish 4th in one tournament and 8th in the other, your average finish would be 6th. It is possible to tie here also, in which case you would share the 2%. Also note, you can win more than one prize. If you win both tournaments, you will get paid for winning both, making both final tables, cashing in both, and being the best finisher. Making deals of any kind is strictly prohibited. You can't simply buy people off to put yourself in better position for the jackpot. If you play, I strongly suggest you play both tournaments, or else you will be contributing to the jackpot with no chance of winning it. Link to post Share on other sites

dms26 3 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 So basically FTP will get 75% (and probably 95%) of the extra rake every night since it's very unlikely someone will win both? Link to post Share on other sites
psujohn 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 So basically FTP will get 75% (and probably 95%) of the extra rake every night since it's very unlikely someone will win both?Someone needs to look up the definition of a progressive jackpot:Look for these nightly $10 + $2 tournaments at 21:00 ET and 21:02 ET. You must enter both tournaments in order to qualify for the Daily Double, and $1 from each entry fee goes toward the next day's progressive jackpot.This means that even if someone wins part of the jackpot, there will still be plenty of additional prize money to play for the next day. So if you have what it takes to win two tournaments at the same time, you could be our first jackpot winner. Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of like a bad beat jackpot. It will be darn hard to win that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites

ftpdoug 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 We do plan to get a bigger buy-in Daily Double in Astros. I guess that makes it a twice-daily double?For now, I suggest last longer bets on the side, or bets that use the highest average finish metric. Link to post Share on other sites
erac22 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Now maybe if FTP gave a crap about high stakes players getting scammed out of 25k on their site, I might actually deposit. Link to post Share on other sites

ftpdoug 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 I don't want to dilute this thread with it, but I'd be glad to talk about it elsewhere.The statement is pretty unfair. First of all, no players on our site were scammed. A player had his Pokerstars account hacked, and the hacker negotiated a Stars for Full Tilt Transfer to launder the money. A legit high stakes player received $25,000 on Stars and sent $25,000 to a Full Tilt Account, where the hacker proceeded to play high stakes and negotiate more transfers to his Neteller account.We are actively investigating the case, and I've personally been in contact with the victim, even though he's not a Full Tilt regular and his Full Tilt Account was not involved.Again, if you want to go into more detail, let's make a different thread.

ftpdoug 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 For example:Tonight's jackpot starts at $10,000. Let's say 800 people play each tournament.Someone will get 2% of the jackpot for best average finish. 2% of $10,000 is $200.A bunch of people will split 3% for cashing in both tournaments. 3% of $10,000 is $300.If someone makes both final tables, they will get 20%, but let's assume that doesn't happen tonight.Jackpot started at $10,000, and we're paying out 5% ($500) of it.$1,600 will be added to tomorrow night's jackpot, or $1 from everyone who played in a tournament tonight.So tomorrow night's jackpot will be $9,500 + $1,600 = $11,100. There are four ways to get a chunk of the jackpot, and all of them involve doing well in both the 9pm and 9:02pm tournament in the same night.Make sense? Link to post Share on other sites

pocktdeuces 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 um...why wasnt it mentioned that these tourneys actually have a good structure??? you would have gotten a lot more people from here playing if you told us that you get 2k in starting chips, and added the 10/20 level. Good to see a smaller buyin tourney having a good structure! Link to post Share on other sites
