Full Tilt and Poker Stars ,,,is catering to other countries

TO begin with let me say i have nothing against players from other countries,,,OK,,,so plz don't think i do!!1

Now i was playing in free rolls the other day and was noticing all the free rolls that Full Tilt and Poker Stars have for players from other countries ,so you thinking whats my point right,,,ok,!! (Well as United States Players we are not allowed to inter those tournaments!!!!!) As i kept playing i started pointing my cursor around at the free rolls that am able to play in and noticed that 50 percent of the player are mostly from other countries and i don't think it fair to the U.S players because of the 50% of those players are mostly the DONKS THAT WE ALL GET TIRED OF MOST OF THE TIME,,

PLZ. what is everyone else think about this we should protect out games for the U.S tournaments ,,,because we are not allowed in there's??

Your questions... You fail.

As for freerolls, as an American I support their freedom to offer freerolls to whomever they want. More new players from other countries will attract more inexperienced players to the other games, which is good for me.

Also, those freerolls are special in that they are allowed to speak their native language, whereas in the other poker rooms they have an English-only policy. I have no problems with this.

lol

They have a right to offer freerolls to anybody they want to in an effort to promote their sites.

It doesn't bother me in the least.

As you may or may not Know, Full Tilt And Poker Stars are both staitioned outside the US! As are most, if not ALL the other internet poker rooms! I may be wrong as I am at times, but being from out side the US, They cater to most everybody in the world! And who ever has the gumption to open/start different poker games, they are the 1s who get the most press!

First off this post makes litle sense to me......Why whould a FREEroll bother you? Its FREE! Thease site hold freerolls to attracte new customers so the make more money.Not like its you god give right to get a 100freerolls a day.
Well this remark is kinda racial,are people not from the US worse poker player?
And if you whould check witch players have -ROI im preatty sure more of them whould be from the states then rest of the world-Not because more bad players are from the US but because more people from the states play on these sites.
and why whould you ever get tired off donks? Atleast for me i ussualy note the donks and look them up later...one of the reason i now have a +ROI.
Do u really just whant to play against good players? How are u going to make money there?

Well there are also freerolls for players only from the US as there freerolls for players from germany,france,uk,scandinavia,asia ect...

These sites are international companys, most if not all are based out site the US. So why should they tread US players better then people from other countrys?

So what are you really complaining about?

YEAH ,,I KNOW ALL THIS ,, i do make the DONKS with notes ,,not really complaining to a point that im steaming mad or any thing,,it just i would like to play in all the free rolls or tournaments in general that i can ,,im a decent player and i dont have a lot of money to play real money tourney's so i just think it is not fair (in my opinion) that they can get in any of the tourney's they want to but U.S players can not!!!!

Just checked and i guess my memory let me down. I allways thought there where us freerolls aswell.
Any way disregard my earlyer statement.

REALLY,,LOOK AROUND YOU NEXT TIME YOUR IN A TOURNEY JUST FOR US PLAYERS THEN,,,LOL I DID,,DI YOU READ MY THREAD!!

A) Why are the answer options to the poll question just more questions?

B) When a bar has "Ladies Night", it is usually because there are plenty of gents there already. Same thing in this case. The US is well represented in the online poker customer mix and the poker sites are just trying to get more players from other countries that aren't as prevelant patron-wise. Basic Marketing 101.

Bastard imo

I dunno - I was thinking cake...

I like cheese,too. And polls that give you a choice would be nice.

BTW, NO NEED TO SHOUT, DUDE. yOUR GIBBERISH IS EASIER TO TAKE IN small letters.

Uh, do you see a little contradiction there? lol FWIW, I think donkitude goes across the board. But moving right along...

Guess I'm in the minority, because I agree with you on this... I do find it mildly annoying too see all these $100 freerolls every little country that are starting in a couple hours that are not even half full, while EVRY last one of the open freerolls fills up in 40 seconds. Hey, FT has waiting lists now, how thoughtful. hehehe

But 'protect our games'? Unless cardschat.com has majority ownership of FT or PS, there is nothing we can do. Mass boycott, petition? I don't think so.

The poll is senseless, but this newbie gotta know something. Second poll I've seen where you vote for cake or bastard. The other one involved poker table skins, and choices ALSO included 'the are distracting' and 'they are not distracting'. So, what is this??

Except for the women, naturally. They will make good slaves.

OMG,,,HERE IS ANOTHER PERSON THAT DONT LIVE IN THE US,,,THAT CAN GET IN,,
YOU HAVE READ ANYTHING DID YOU
AND IM SAYING THAT I THINK THAT A COMPANY CANT EXSPAND,,CAN YOU READ ENGLISH,,LOL

THIS thread is really about i thought that they are cattering to other countries,,,,gosh darn is everyone missing that,,i dont care they offer tournies to people in ANTARTIC ,,I JUST SAYING IF YOU GOING TO OFFER TOURNAMENTS ,,to people in other countries be fair about it and keep them out of the ones that US players get in because we cant get into there's..
or just hold an international tourney,,,and keep it fair!!!@

Indeed I can, well enough to wonder where this country is:



or did you mean Antarctica ?

lol
well you smart enough to read gibberish!! lmao ,doesn't mean you understand what you read!!!

I think you'll find that most of us can read english. And that may be why we're having trouble understanding your posts.

OMG,,LOL

I don't mind playing poker with people from other countrys,but today I was in a free roll Sng with 9 other players,who were all from Finland,and chatted non stop in Finnish. Two players go all in early on,turn up the cards,one has 26 off. Seemed fishy. This happened on Bookmaker.

SEE ,thats one of my problem's with people getting in U.S tourney's a lot of them are going to in there lingo,,,and then half are going to try to donk the hand's, you know what ever but we cant get in there's and talk english and have an the chance to fill there tourney's up and donk hand's,,i mean come ,,,lol

If I were you, I would stop smoking that stuff.

It seems to be impairing your ability to express yourself in an intelligible manner.

[x] can read english
[ ] can read OP's particular brand of english

p-nuttin I get your point and it's a valid one. The responses you are getting are expected, from those who do not rely on free rolls to build their bankroll. Don't let them tilt you.

They like to finish the games quickly in Finland.

[x] WHATS YOUR OPINION?
[ ] Sorry, but the princess is in another castle.
[ ] I am typing this with one hand
[x] Props to whoever edited the survey questions to make just as much non-sense.

P-nuttin every one understandes your point but i dont think the care,its a freeroll! If your so upset about it just deposit and then you can play anything u like.
A freeroll isint some thing you should be upset about.
Like other people have pointed out PS and Tilt have a strong US base but are trying to get people from other countrys to the sites.
People from outside the US can choce from alot more sites then US players so obvs. the big sites are trying to get them from the smaller sportsbetting poker sites to there site,by offering various promotions.

And yes im preatty sure every one on this site can speak english,unlikly that a person that only speaks french is hanging around a english speaking forum.

WELL,,,THANKS SINDRI,,YOUR response has been the most intelligent so far,,in my opinion!!!
SORRY ABOUT MESSING THE POLL UP,,!!LMAO
THAT WAS MY FIRST , and im not good at typing so yeah i have some mistakes,,so everyone can laugh at me,,lol, i don't blog a lot so i try to come up with a few thats not to stupid!! lmao
EGON,,i smoke marlboro!!
RYANED,,I don't let them tilt me i'm on two final tables a day
PILLSHARKI ,,YOUR FUNNY
