Full Tilt Apology

[Boobie Lover]

Dear aixelsyd ta lol,

Throughout the early morning on Wednesday, March 14th, many players experienced problems connecting to our Internet Service Provider that were beyond our control. We apologize for the inconvenience as we work with our ISP to implement safeguards to prevent this type of problem from happening again.

As a result of Wednesday's network outages, many of our players were disconnected from our site during play, even though some of our games and tournaments continued to run for several minutes.

If you were sitting at a real money ring game at the time of the outage, any money you had at the table has been returned to your account. If you were registered for, or were playing in a tournament that was voided during this period, your account balance has been adjusted in accordance with our tournament rules.

Additionally, to prevent you from being penalized if you were disconnected from a tournament that continued to run, we have compared your chip counts at times the disruptions occurred with your eventual result, and paid you based on whichever was higher.

For example, if you had 50,000 chips at the time of the first disconnections and only 30,000 chips at the time the tournament was voided, you will receive a payout based on a chip stack of 50,000. Conversely, if you had 50,000 chips at the time of the first disconnections and 70,000 at the time the tournament was voided, you will keep the payment you got based on the 70,000 chips.

Because you were impacted by our outage on Monday, March 14th, we have also credited your account with an additional $10 as a token of our appreciation for your patience during this period.

If you have any questions regarding the status of your account, please contact us at . Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you online.

Sincerely,

Full Tilt Poker

holy shit you are rich!

[MAYHEM45]

I only got 5. Bullshit.

[Talking Poker]

That's funny - I got $10. This is from when we had our TP cash game, right?

[X-Longshot-X]

maybe this is completely random, but at the time, Boobie and TP were in the blinds, maybe they are paying more to those players who were in the blind at the time of the disconnect and less to those just playing but not in a blind

[Zybomb]

I wonder if I got anything -- I'll check when I get home

I thought it might be more to the players who play more often? But Boobie isnt a FT regular so I dunno

[PShabi]

WTF, I got $5 too????

They probably only gave me $5 because they looked at it as a favor to me. Prevented me from losing a lot of dough that night.

[Zybomb]

yea i think thats it (how much of a regular you are) . I got $5 also

[PShabi]

Actually, Longshot's explanation makes more sense. I play there exclusively, and Mayhem put's in ~25k hands/month there as well.
