    Why not start running these, the $11's fill up every 15 minutes. Personally, I dont have time to play regular structure's and stick to cash games outside of the majors. My point being, I think these may draw additional interest towards F.T. if there were some higher buy-ins available...just a thought.

    My apologies if this is a repost.

    I'm with OP.. please make this a fill-up and go and not a scheduled hourly.

    Don't understand the point of having $11/135 sngs and not have $24s.

    The problem is that they dont fill up. Its like the $8.80 180 mans on stars. They have them hourly because they fill that way. When they had them as a sng, they never filled. For some reason, when there is a time constraint, people tend to play them more. If enough people want them as sngs though, get a petition and send it to Tilt. Or talk to FTPDoug.

    Fortunately ^^^^ is entirely wrong. In no way, shape, or form would the 24 dollar rush tournies not fill up every 5-10 minutes. It takes the 4 dollars under 3 minutes, the 11's around 5, so it would be nicer to not have to wait every hour for the 24's to be played.

    Who knows how long the rush poker fad will last, but for now having $24/135's would be f'ing awesome and a great business decision for FTP.

    SO COSIGN

    I'm sure FTP has their reasons, as they seem to have a pretty strong business model that brings in some good money, but for the near future these tournies would always fill up and bring in plenty of rake.

    And if FTP decided they would like to give me rakeback after 7 years, I might even grind these for 8 hours a day

    On and congrats Beorn on your first 4 figure score yesterday, keep putting in the time and keep them coming.

    I don't agree here bro.

    They don't fill up because people don't sit around and wait for them to start.

    If they sat idle until they filled, they would run more efficiently. I have played a handful of the $11 & $26.. mostly the $11 because I can enter and it starts when it fills. I tend to not play the $26 ones because I don't feel like waiting for the hour to roll around, particularly if I just missed the boat.

    The $26 45/90 mans don't seem to have an issue filling. Why should the 135 mans even if they are indeed rushs?

    Thanks Waz. If you are looking for rakeback from FT, I might be able to help. Email them the following, and then email a rakeback site. For me, it was rakebackpros, but you can do it throguh p5 too (i think). I did this they set me up in two days. Good luck with it. Its nice making an extra $150 a month lol

    "I have heard that Fulltilt has been offering rakeback to players through affiliated sites such as rakebackpro.com.<span> </span>I understand that Fulltilt herself does not offer rakeback, but many players in popular forums have said that fulltilt has allowed them to link their accounts to affiliates after they have signed up.<span> </span>I am not currently linked to any affiliate and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to receive rakeback.<span> </span>Any information you can offer me would be helpful.<span> "

    <span>Thanks,

    The $24s actually run every 50 minutes, and they fill up 100% of the time even though they're rarely full when they go off, late reg ftw.

    Also because they're not technically SNGs they count for p5s rankings, which is kinda amusing.

    I wouldn't mind if they ran more, but honestly a player who can't play longer events and multitables well should be fine at that buyin range. I tend to play roughly 4 hour sessions with every 24 rush in that time frame, the $26 10k rush mtt at 5pm, both the 3:45 and 5:15 turbos (which still need fucking guarantees btw), two or three super turbo mtts, and as many $26 (and the occasional $52, which usually only fill every 90 mins or so) KOs as possible... if you play those other things too you really only want 2 rush tables up at a time max...

    A couple of things that might not be factored into the business case:

    1.The part time semi grinder cant find 6-8 hours in a day with the amount of runners in MTT (Rebuy structures included). Lets face it, the unversity grinder from 6 years ago is now mid to late 20's.
    2. I dont know how Europeans do it...I have been working over here and the schedules are dismal at best if you want to Multi table.
    3. If you are employed outside of poker and want to improve in a sit and go/multitable format - this format is a fit, you can easily pull 10 of these off in a short amount of time playing 4 tables.
    4. Might see midstakes players fill gaps in their MTT schedule.
    5. Cash games are exponentially harder to beat, 1-2 games play about as tough as 10-20 games did 5-6 years ago. Keeping it fresh keeps the customer engaged.

    Who knows....might see some people that were'nt originally contemplated in the strategy grind it out.
