 |
|
Dear Full Tilt,
looking through the tournaments your site offers, i noticed something
missing. you do not offer any high-stake razz tournaments. since
razz is growing increasingly popular, i think it would be great if you
can add a daily $100-200 razz tournament, and a weekly $200 razz
tournament, such as the current sunday night horse tournaments. I
appreciate you considering these options, as they would make your site
better for many players.
Sincerely,
Yuvee04 |

| I don't mind the inquiry into having higher stakes Razz games, but I'm gonna assume that there isn't nearly enough interest to make it happen. |

On what basis are you making this assumption? Because they have had to sweat out getting enough players to make the guaranteed prize pool for the FTOPS razz events? Actually, the razz events have blown away the guarantee, with the most recent one having double the necessary prize pool. I'd be interested in a weekly one for sure, and know several others who would be too. It doesn't even need to be a guaranteed prize pool at first, so what's the downside to FTP in that case for scheduling one? Will they have to hire more dealers or something? |

They only have $200 weekly tournaments for NL Hold'em and HORSE though, so why would they have weeklys for razz rather than some other games?
You also can't really assume that there will be a lot of people playing these because there were a lot for the FTOPS, simply because it's the FTOPS. A lot of extra people could've gotten in just because it's an FTOPS event...
I, personally, would like these (and would definitely try to satellite in), but not exactly sure how interested FTP would be in these..
They always might want to add something else that would possibly attract more attention and people would then want them to add Omaha/Stud/etc. $100/$200 weekly's as well..... |

I'm not assuming anything. I'm merely stating evidence that shows a big buy in razz tournament can bring out many more runners than anticipated. I'm not suggesting FTP should run only razz tournaments, they could do an omaha or stud (I'd think PLO would be a prime candidate). But if they aren't guaranteed, why not try them if there seems to be interest? |

| Valid request. The highest buy-in we have for a daily Razz tournament right now is a $24+$2. Let me try to get something larger added, and see how it does. |

| Granted I am banned from FTP at the moment, I think this is an excellent idea. The 2k guarentee every night simply isn't high enough pay out for the high limit razz players to play and enjoy. They should definitely try running some bigger daily razz tournaments and see how it goes. |

| Any info on this? I heard they used to have a weekly 109 about a year and a half ago but it was canceled due to low turnouts. Obviously there are more razz players on FTP these days. I don't know how many ppl would play a 216 but something in the 69+6 - 109 range would be nice. Maybe a weekly doublestack with no guarantee to start just to see how it goes. |

Yea, this would be A LOT better than $200 and would be a way to find out if a $200 weekly may attract enough people.
Since the lowest tournament for razz is $26 (and only once per day), it's only fair that they add something in that range.
The $69+6 seems good because it can also get some more people in through $75 tokens. |

I think this would be a good idea but even in the 24+2 doesn't create enough interest.
But if they put a higher gauranteed, more players would learn and play.
I've won 1 razz tourny to date.

| A buch of people have e-mailed support asking for a 69+6 or 100+9 doublestacked weekly razz tourney. If you want to see this tourney happen please e-mail support and ask them to add it. The more e-mails they get the better chance there is of getting what we want. |
