    has there been a 750k that is actually a $216 buyin 750k since theyve introduced METs? its becoming annoying that FTP wont slow down with these things and keep ruining their normal daily and Sunday mtts by making them METs instead of listening to players and making new tournaments as METs.

    Agreed. They can easily make a major met on sunday. Or maybe turn the mulligan into one? Dont they have the met hundo today as well?

    quote from Annette_15, copied and pasted from P5s article from 4/8/11

    "We asked Obrestad if she’d like to see an all Multi-Entry FTOPS down the road: “The reason so many people play FTOPS events is because you can satellite in and get a really big score for nothing if you happen to get lucky. I think having only Multi-Entry tournaments will stop people from wanting to satellite in because they’ll feel like they're at a disadvantage because they'll only have one entry. It will make the fields a lot harder, and the higher buy-ins are hard enough as it is.”

    Am I taking it out of context or did she basically say MET's suck overall? I wonder what her main sponsor thinks of her statement lol?

    Doubt they will care as long as she is FT'ing live tournaments with her FTP logo patch. Its nice to see someone being honest instead of letting money buy their opinion.

    I like it. They still have the Brawl and Mulligan unchanged, and the first place is huge. I think having first place be over $250k for a $200 investment will keep satellite players in. Sure it's harder overall but with a field of almost 8k I don't think it's that big of a deal. I hope they keep it a ME

    And I'm a little more surprised more people here don't like it as well

    just that its become a $1300 buyin to not be losing an edge/maxing ones edge, which i may be doing anyway because its a $1300 buyin (and im not max regging) and the only guys putting in that money are most of the time the best players. if i wanted to play their1k buyin id do it on monday. satellite players may temporarily play these events (1 shotting, 2 shots at most), but the large majority of them understand when they are completely outmatched and arent going to keep 1 shotting it when they opr the guys in the last 45 every week and realize that 40 of the last 45 have 6 figs in profit and are beasts. im not really sure ftps angle here with these at all, i remember the rush mtts, and they shoved them down players throats making sunday majors rush and even a full week or two of rush only guarantees before backing off (like theyve done with METs), i think the majority of regs and fish for that matter are hoping this is just a phase tho

    pretty cool that anette said they basicly suck, too bad ftp will never listen and get rid of this met madness. im not saying its all bad, i think it works better for low buyin like 26/55 tournamnets where fish can easily 2-3 bullet 1 mtt but having 216+ become met makes even me debate about playing them

    THeres already soooo many tourneys to play on various sites that having ME tourneys is just a waste of screen space... I personally like the double-deuce being ME, but as far as the bigger buyins, I doubt its worth it for me to 6x 216FO's wjhere its gonna be mad reg-heavy late-game ne ways... I'm starting to like stars more and more every day.

    I fucking hate MET's... And I feel the overwhelming majority of online poker players do as well..

    But why would Full Tilt take them out? They are making bank for themselves and their investors..
    Their support has always sucked and they are not known for listening to their player base.

    40 regs buying 6 bullets makes up for losing 800 fish that are busto (likely because of MET's) or too scared to compete against all the talent.
    Also factor in wealthy degenerate gamblers having 6 opportunities to blow money on a flagship tourney.

    It's a greedy bitch of an industry and at the end of the day I'm pretty sure that full tilt wants to keep making more money, even if it means slowly killing online poker.

    Making heaps on rake and they still have broken to fuck cashouts? It's really becoming a terrible site, fuck FT!

    P.S. - LOL @ the FTOPS schedule... Retarded. And they have that bullshit 4 times a year... unreal.
