Fulltilt vs PokerStars

ive only played on fulltilt and i am very loyal cause of the hours i put in on cash and play chips..lol..over 20mil playchips :-(...anyway there does seem to be alot of badbeats taken by me on fulltilt and i wonder is Stars better for having less....someone tell me maybe i need to convert...lol

dont be an idiot, the engines are random. the poker rooms dont give two shits (being multi billion dollar companies.) about your winnings or losses. In addition bad beats are supposed to happen as has been said many many many times.
AA= 80-86% favorite against most hands. which means that out of a 100 hands you HAVE to lose on average between 14-20 times. if you lose a bit more or a bit less it evens out and if those 14 times are consecutive thats fine as well.
Stop treating every hand like its the last hand you play and every bad beat like its the beat that will shatter you. if you can't handle losing your stack on a hand like this:

Outcome: UTG won $19.60


then you shouldn't be at the limit you are and you can move down until you feel more comfortable

Try playing on PS a little and see if you like it. The software isn't as fancy but there are a lot more players. As far as bad beats go it will happen on every site, switching to a different site won't change your luck.

ty u both for the input and I know they arent against me winning lol...the would rather keep me playing for rake purposes but maybe it would be good for a change in venue

So you don't believe that the rooms have players at the tables trying to beat you out of even more money?

WELL I WAS A LOYAL FULL TILT PLAYER HAD UB,DOYLES ROOM ,GR88,AND STARS BUT I ONLY LIKED FULL TILT CAUSE IT OFFERS THE MOST FAR AS ACADEMY AND LEARNING AND I THINK THERE SOFTWARE IS THE BEST BUT I OPEN MY MIND AND STARTED PLAYING ON STARS AND THO ITS STILL MORE BAD BEATS THAN LIVE BUT NOT AS MANY AS FTP BUT IM STILL GONNA PLAY FTP JUST NOT THE CASH GAMES. oops sorry bout the caps

Okay first of all, bad beats happen no matter what site you play on. the sites generate random hands. Now i would pick fulltilt because it is much easier to win money on fulltilt. If you do freerolls on pokerstars, you have to play a satelite to $2000 freeroll That you have to play for like 7 hours to make a good cash. On fulltilt you can cash in a freeroll without having to do all the satelites and all that BS.

I prefer Fulltilt over Pokerstars. Stars software is also very good though.
It really depends on what games you're going to be playing.

im a -EV Player at both sites.
in my mind theres no different between ps and ft.

btw: playmoney + doesn´t mean realmoney +

Stick to Poker Stars Full tilt's cards are more for LUCK not poker

I don't think there are more/less bad beats on poker sites. It just all depends. But I like Full Tilt.

Im playing in both sites.

Like the software very much on both, can play games i want in both, cashouts are fast in both, play level is pretty much the same in each one (for my games level of course), Fulltilt have big fee in micro private games, but Stars also have bigger fee in $3 S&G games, so are close.

Minimum cashout in Fulltilt is $50, min. in Stars is $10, costumer service is good in both.

I think is where you feel more confortable, so far both are ok for me, get same amount of bad beats in both too.

It's personal preference. You can't go wrong playing on either.

If anyone thinks that the sites have staff players/bots playing, they are simply wrong. Think about how much they have to lose when a disgruntled employee quits/gets fired and starts blabbing everywhere about how he was employed to screw people over. They make a few million dollars a day taking .25 cents from each hand. I cannot even fathom how many hands they dish out a day.

Also, it was proven a year ago that some administrators from absolute poker were cheating, but that was quickly uncovered.

BTW, I was planning on switching to FT just because there are a lot more cardschat events on there rather than PS.

It may just be me, but I think there are more players on Pokerstars than Fulltilt. Not that it matters. My personal preference is Fulltilt.

little difference between the two in standards ,but Pokerstars usually have more players so standard tours take 5-6 hours norm for top 3 finishes

I perfer FTP. Not that PS is bad. Just a preference.

Honestly some of my worse beats have come from Live games. Not that I haven't had my fair share online.

Worst live was when a guy only have 2 cards left in the deck to help him and hit both of them. Can't say I've got dinged like that online, although it happens.

It's all a percentage game at some point.

only ps no rake

I like playing the freerolls at PS just for the variety of games. It's a good change of pace besides always playing hold'em. 2-7 lowball, stud, stud hi/lo, omaha hi/lo, badugi, and razz.
