I mean it sucks they 888 doesn't have a similar system to what Full Tilt has, but did you really ever expect them to?

the only time it has happened to me on full tilt i was already in the cash of an mtt

this wasn't in the cash, so its probably the same anyway.

Happened to me once when we weren't ITM on FTP.

Payouts were based on chip value.

sorry guys but i think its dodgy they would pay based on chips, you havent finished the tournament so why should you get more cash than anyone else because of a technical glitch... if it didnt happen you may have been out three hands later... you didnt win the game why should you get more than equal split???
I respect the poker gods, I think that's why they are nice to me!!!

I agree.

Just becuse your leading midway (no offence benny the cunt, I am sure you probably would have cashed had it not cancelled), doesn't mean you are going to win.

guys, you are missing the point.

of course, the majority of the time i will not win.

i am not asking for the winners prize money

but on other sites, you are given an amount of money equal to the percentage of chips you have.

i.e last night there was 17 runners, which means there was a $200 prize pool gtd

this makes 170k in chips.

i had about 29k in chips, which works out to 17.1% of the chips in play.

on full tilt,if the tourney was cancelled i would get 17% of $200, which means it would be $34.11, not $18 as i got on 888.

i am in no way asking for the $100 first prize, just because i was chip leader at the time.

does that make sense?
