Yeah. I asked FTP some time ago whether they considered having cashier in local currencies so that we do not have to "invest in dollar", but they were never a fan of this. Maybe it will change when they operate under EU domain

I think that having your account in one currency and playing in another one can have problems tho, I don't know if you ever read the complaints about i poker, where a micro stakes player paid 1p for everytime he used auto top up for 1c, he was playing NL2 or something and was basically paying 50% more than he should have, all comes from they rounding every calculation. Would be interesting tho, if FT starts adding accounts in euro currencies and tables too.
@ peche - yeah, I agree, it creates these and some FX issues. that´s probably why FTP did not implement it. also they did not care too much previously because they were more US customers oriented.. that might change now...
@shade - hehe, funny. I like the moment when he captures the flag ♦
@all - im quite busy now, do not play any poker (and it is a plan not to play, even if I got nice offer from FTP, 750$ added bonus. I think they have noticed that the rush addict disappeared from the tables
) but there will be big news about the CZ/SVK community coming soon. stay tuned.. we are now working hard to finalize everything, included start up promotions specifically for czechs and slovaks - those may be nice bankroll boosters and community feeling tools
(also will get back to ppl re czechoslovak forum vision over the weekend.. its about the time as launch is approaching quickly).
does anybody get replies from FTP customer support or black card support? or do you also only get automatic reply around US development? I feel like they think I am from US
Draft CzechoSlovak Forum Structure
Main pillars
1) Koloseum - the general poker discussions enhanced by epic poker threads and including blogs and discussions on all the poker related topics which are in the EN forum under separate category. Goal: have quality discussion and epic threads here, avoid the habbit that people read only blogs. Enhance the overall forum quality with good threads.
2) Poker rooms to be restructured later based on what rooms are used - likely just max 5 rooms will have separate category, others will be in forum "Other rooms". Goal: make it shorter, user-friendly
3) Salónek - forum for all the offtopics enhanced by epic off-topic threads. Goal: Similar to Koloseum for off-topics
4) Hand judging forums and strategy discussion forums - according to expected needs, blogs of game type specialists in the strategy discussion board. Goal: Quality strategy discussions in strategy forum. User-friendliness and effectivity of HJ forums.
I´m posting this more as a basis for skype discussion with Czechs/Slovaks in separate channel, but please feel free to post here as well
(EDIT - there are overlaps, i.e. seems that MTT is there twice, it is just as I was taking screenshots in couple of pictures
EDIT 2 - also in Poker Software was cut in the image, it is the last Poker forum under Promotions)

Just variance, there is a ton of ppl in CR/SR who are not cool at all.
I miss sitting opposite cornie in the office.
He was ranting in Czech (well, it sounded like a rant!) so often I thought I was slowly learning Czech (as well as Portuguese from thegreatmazinga on the other side).
So excited to see what Pavel has planned for CS community, even if I won't be able to understand it!
@ nowys - Hi, thanks for stopping by here. Our language is coming soon, so you will be able to chat in our native tongue soon
Also we will give away more than 10,000$ in promotions JUST FOR CzechoSlovaks in May (plus all the existing PokerStrategy.com promotions), so make sure you take piece of it, should be easy
(just need to work super hard this week to finalize everything so that we launch in time)
@ wendy - thanks, that´s nice of you.
same to philippino people.. tho I know only those in community here, like you
@ alfi - variance obv, nice reply
@ Marc - yeah, maybe we sit together again soon, there are so many people moving in the office currently. nobody knows. thinking about it, I think that you and pleno1 might use some Czech lessons, look at Melvin - he already knows 3 words ♦
@ skiff - always nice to be supported by chuck
I have very busy week in front of me. But yesterday, my friend with his girlfriend came as part of their Spain road trip, so we made a trip to Tarifa, I was swimming in the sea for the first time this year
=)So that was nice and I refilled some energy now, coool. (and the water was quite cool as well tbh).
