This is the best promotion I've seen fulltilt come out with in a while. All you have to do is win 1 point every day which only takes like 3 minutes. Can't wait til the end of it =)

So, I've got like 8 bucks in my FT account and have been playing 2NL to get my bonus. Its taking about a half-hour to 45 minutes to get safely above 1 point. (thanks for the cashier hint guys).

Should I stay at 2NL and just grind it out, or risk min buy-ins at a higher limit for less time to limit my loss exposure?

Why don't you move down rather than up ?

I'd play 0.01/0.02 limit HE, Razz or O8 (because more will be in the hands the FTP counter moves faster) - without risking alot.

I'm bad at math but I figure...

$50 for 25 days is $2 per day.
If you are averaging 40 minutes to get that point, you're probably playing about 50 hands per table, making $1 in bonuses per table.

A Big Bet is 2 big blinds, so at $.04 per BB that's 25BB's won in 67% of an hour. So that's like 37.5BB per hour and 50BB/100 in bonuses alone.

If you move up in limits, you put your roll in greater peril. It's just not worth doing.

Well, 11 days in, and I have earned points all 11 days.

My goal is to have a $100 bankroll after the bonuses. I am currently at $26 not including the bonuses. I play .02/.05 6Max Cap tables, and I can usually make a decent profit. The points seem to rack up quickly due to the volume of hands. I am also going for the One-A-Day, which should be easy since I need 25 days just to get this bonus.

Ive been playing the Take 2. Been buying in minimum .40 at both tables since Im not much of a cash game player (Don't like chips = money for some reason). Been up a couple dollars, down a couple dollars, now Im pretty much even after 11 days, so actually Im up $15 bonus so far. About to work on my 12th day. Im going for all 30 days of September so I can get the $50 bonus and get into the One-A-Day freeroll.

Got 1st level today. 5 days in a row. Wheeeee!

Some folks are yeah, so what, but here's the inside scoop on why I'm kinda stoked. This is the first time I've seriously played micro FR and not completely lost my shirt in the process. Its also the first time I've EVER qualified for any kind of a bonus on a poker site. :D Yes, the freeroll whore is nurturing a baby cash game.

Going for level 2 next week - maybe hit level 3 by EOM!

Sweet. Played in two .05/.10 NL 6Max Cap from 11PM to 12:15AM. Got points to qualify for two days. I even think I won about 20 cents. Steamrolling my way to level 3.

Got every day covered so far, so I'm already halfway through level three. Been racking up a decent number of Academy credits at the same time as well.

I'm curious, what's a good challenge to have active at the micros to build credits?

Pretty much any of the cash game ones really, depending on whether you want to actually use them to work on your game or whether you just want the credits.

I've got Phil Gordon's five common hold 'em leaks one running at the moment and the tasks are hilariously easy. I completed all of them while two tabling in about 90 minutes this afternoon.

I like Bill Edler's power of position one too, but you've gotta take a lot more risks to complete the tasks in that one - it wants you to do things like floating with nothing or win three times running from the button. It's plenty doable, but might carry a bit more risk than the hold 'em leaks one.

Haven't tried many of the other cash game ones yet.

You only need to play in 25 of 30 days to get the $50 bonus. You are fine.

It's the one-a-day-iron-man you're talking about I guess.

You need to earn 1 FTP each day of the month.

Look it up under cashier/my promotions.

Afaik you can buy the missing day with FTPs, too.

So far I'm 13 for 13 at .05/.10 NL FR. I've had the pre-flop play challenge active. I've completed two of 5 tasks so far. Haven't been getting that many premium hands to finish two of the three tasks. Gonna check out the holdem leaks challenge.
