Kicking off on September 1st on Full Tilt Poker, the world’s second largest online poker site, is Take 2. Fresh off the running of the 13th Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS), the site is now offering players the opportunity to score an extra $50 and double Full Tilt Points (FTPs) throughout the 30 days of September. However, members of the online poker community must opt into this unique program first by visiting the "Cashier" window. What is Take 2, you ask? Read on to find out.

By playing on at least two real money ring game tables on Full Tilt at the same time throughout the month of September, players can earn $50 and double FTPs. Four different prize levels are available, starting with Level 1, which awards $5 for five days’ worth of play. Level 2 means that online poker fans will take home $10 for 10 days of play, or $15 total when combined with the first reward. Players who battle for 15 days on two or more tables on Full Tilt will pocket an additional $10 for a total of $25. The granddaddy of levels is number four; play for 25 days and customers will earn an extra $25 for a total of $50.
When you play as part of Full Tilt Poker’s Take 2 promotion, the number of FTPs will double on two cash game tables. As an example, if you were to accrue 30 FTPs at one table and 55 at another, you’d actually take home 170 FTPs (two times 85 FTPs). Although it sounds attractive, this is an opt-in promotion. In order to sign up for Take 2, log onto Full Tilt Poker and click on the big red “Cashier” button. Then, select the “My Promotions” box, which is located in the lower right of the window. Click on “Take 2” and, according to text found on Full Tilt Poker, “Follow the instructions on the Take 2 My Promotions page – you must elect to participate in this promotion or you will not receive cash or double points for your play during Take 2.”

Now, it’s time for the fine print. In order for a table to count, you must earn at least one FTP while playing on two games at the same time. Bonus points will be added to your account within six hours of playing and only the top two FTP earning tables that you have open at any time will receive double points. Therefore, while you can play on three or more tables simultaneously, Full Tilt will only double the points on two of them.

The only other caveat involves Happy Hour, a recurring time period on Full Tilt during which the number of FTPs you receive is increased. The online poker site explains, “If a player is participating in Take 2 at the same time that Full Tilt Poker’s Happy Hour promotion is running, they will earn the appropriate number of bonus points for each promotion.” Take 2 kicks off at 00:00 ET on September 1st and runs through 23:59 ET on September 30th.

Meanwhile, MiniFTOPS XIII kicks off on September 9th and concludes with a $55 buy-in, $500,000 guaranteed prize pool Main Event 11 days later. A total of 25 events will play out and mirror the schedule of the recently-completed FTOPS XIII, featuring buy-ins that are one-tenth of their high-stakes counterparts. Earlier this year, the FTOPS and MiniFTOPS events ran concurrently, inadvertently causing players to gravitate towards the lower buy-in contests. Consequently, sizable overlays occurred. This time around, Full Tilt separated the events by one month to avoid any cannibalism. MiniFTOPS XIII features more than $3 million in guaranteed prize money.
