FT Glitch + Prop Bet Update

0

{CRYOUTUBE v=IFCY1RIZ-WA}

So I have decided to end the day early and only play 5 hours today. I needed to write a blog entry, get to bed early, and FTP software was lagging and not showing the cards. It has been fun riding the MASSIVE swings from super turbos lol.

I cannot express how annoying it is to have taken this bet right as Full Tilt decided to epically fail at launching their new software. FT Shortcuts immediately became useless and Poker Shortcuts cannot do anything with SNGs, which is all I used FT shortcuts for in the first place. All this on top of all the bugs the FT client now has.

Now to be fair, I did receive a full refund from Windyhill Technology, the makers of Full Tilt Shortcuts. As well as Full Tilt giving out 5 days of Iron Man status as well as another month to clear the midyear bonus, not that I need it with my volume, so it's not like I'm just getting fucked lol. But it does make the 1k prop bet semi hard.

Today, I experienced my first real software malfunction causing serious problems while playing since Full Tilt updated on the 9th. I did not play for the first 4 days of the update because all of the reported problems on 2+2 so I probably would have already if I did. I took screen shots and emailed a report to Full Tilt to try and help best to fix it.

Here is one of them...



as you can clearly tell the cards aren't visible. The only way I could know what I had was to mouse over my name and wait to see in the box that pops up.

You can imagine how hard this is to do when this happens out of the blue after 4 hours, while playing more than 12 tables at a time without FT Shortcuts! I didn't even have a time bank because they were super turbos!!!

Once I folded it would then show my first card only and it would stay visible for the rest of the hand lol. Also once I got heads up the other player would limp in, I'd have trash and check. We would "see" a flop except I couldn't see it lol!

So as far as the bet goes I did exactly 50 hours officially. I probably did another hour or two but only full hour intervals count. This is right on pace although I am not too happy about that as the last week on August 2nd is a very good friend of mines 21st birthday. I will need at least 48 hours away from poker to handle his twenty first. Lets just say he is Irish haha

That being said I am getting to bed early to wake up and grind 15 hours on Sunday and get ahead!

Do Work, Peace.
