FTOPS and More
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Bloggers Corner
We usually have a blogger-iffic rant to present to you every Friday, but I’m really not in a ranting kind of mood today. Instead, I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve really clued you all in to what’s going around here at Full Tilt Poker. Blame the WSOP, blame Tiffany Michelle’s breasts, blame us for not doing our jobs properly. Hell, blame Canada if you want. Whatever the case may be, you guys deserve better. So here’s a quick rundown of what’s going on around these parts, plus a little teaser of great things to come:

Reader Mail: Moving Day
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Reader Mail
Welcome one and all to the show that never ends – that’s right, it’s time for a little Reader Mail. Unfortunately, due to time constrictions, I’m going to have make this a rather brief mailbag today. The powers that be have decided to move us out of our dungeon and into gen pop at this very time, so we’re busy picking the Post-It notes off our walls and pouring out a 40 for our fallen homie. But, as they say, the show must go on. Hit us up at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any comments, questions, or general concerns for our safety now that we’ve been removed from our sanctuary and forced to mingle with other “real people.” On to the show:
FTOPS Madness!
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Bloggers Corner
FTOPS is still running strong, but we’re entering the homestretch as 18 of the 24 events have been completed. We’ve saved the best for last though, with the $2,500 Two-Day Event and the $2 million guaranteed Main Event still to come this weekend. If you like poker (and I should hope you do, being that you’re reading a poker blog right now), then get your butts to your computer this weekend and get in on some of the best tourney action online.
OK, now that my mandatory corporate duty is fulfilled for the day, let’s get on to the good stuff. On Monday I gave you an update for FTOPS events 1-9; today I’ll be covering 10-18. Without further ado, let’s get this show on the road:

Reader Mail: Doggy Tank Tops Rule!
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Reader Mail
Things are pretty much all FTOPS around here at the office, but we won’t let that stop us from getting to a little Reader Mail. Our mailbag is full of all kinds of goodies this week, so let’s get right to it. Email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any comments, questions, or haikus. On to the show:

The Week at FTP: FTOPS, FTOPS, FTOPS
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under The Week at FTP
Ah FTOPS – it’s like Christmas for degenerates. And Christmas comes four times a year. And instead of getting some crappy sweater-vest and a book on how to be a better man from your girlfriend, you get the chance to win hundreds of thousands of dollars playing in a donkament. The only thing that’s missing is the eggnog.
So in lieu of Big Donkey giving you The Week at FTP, I’ll be giving you the rundown on the first nine amazing FTOPS VIII events. We’ve had some good laughs so far, shed some salty tears, and ingested many cans of Coke Zero in an attempt to bring you all things FTOPS. Here are the highlights thus far:

Reader Mail: FTOPS-ical
Posted by The All-In-Uit | Filed under Reader Mail
The highs, the lows, the joy, the pain – welcome to yet another flowery edition of Reader Mail. Your favorite One Angry Monkey will return once he recovers from the pain of listening to poker slang being used as a euphemism for all things boy-girl related (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). Today I’d like to start by thanking the powers that be for coinciding the start of FTOPS VIII with today’s column – God knows we need something to talk about here. On to our FTOPS-themed mailbag for today:

Reader Mail: FTOPS Is Coming!
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Reader Mail
Welcome back to another round of the crazy circus we like to call Reader Mail. Thanks again to The All-In-Uit for taking over last week – she did one hell of a job filling in for me (not to mention putting me in my place − that was the pwning of a lifetime). Anyway, I can guarantee you that this week’s Reader Mail will not feature any questions from Russians trying to sell me Viagra (insert four-hour erection joke here) – everything else is fair game. Email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any questions, comments, or cool anecdotes about that time you saw Phil Hellmuth make a complete ass-hat of himself. And yes, all that was just an excuse for me to say ass-hat – on to the show:

Reader Mail: Rail Talk
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Reader Mail
Another week means another opportunity to crack open our mailbox and answer some Reader Mail. The questions are coming in at an overwhelming pace, so keep up the good work. Email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com if you want your questions answered.
Last week we introduced you to a reader going by the name of “The Chi” who simply wouldn’t leave us the hell alone. We thought that by giving him a shout out and actually posting one of his questions that he’d give us a break. We were wrong. And since the non-stop pestering continues, we have no choice but to respond one more time. Here we go again:

The Week at FTP: Another FTOP-ical Post
Posted by Big Donkey | Filed under The Week at FTP
The madness that is FTOPS has ended and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. It’s not that we don’t love the series – we do – really, we do – but after spending the last 10 days trying to keep track of all the tourney action, we need a break.
Of course, we can’t afford the kind of vacation that Reverse can now treat himself to, but then again, we didn’t just take down more than $456K for winning the Main Event. Nearly 5,300 players ponied up the $500 entry fee for this Mother-of-All-FTOPS events and, in the end, the fight for the gold jersey came down to Reverse and FTP’s own Thomas the Walrus Wahlroos.

The Week at FTP: FTOPS VII - What Else?
Posted by Big Donkey | Filed under The Week at FTP
Besides being a little infatuated with acronyms, we love FTOPS because it makes our weekly roundup a piece of cake. God bless our ever-growing band of red-name Friends of Brothers of Cousins of Full Tilt Pros, but trying to keep up with the live tournament results of 50 Million (number may be exaggerated) poker players is a little testing. Give us FTOPS any day.
