Would you play at FT if it reopened?

Assume the GBT deal goes through - would you?

Legitimately curious. US players feel free to answer too even though there's basically a 0% chance FT reopens to you for anything other than withdrawing. :/

I would play AFTER they returned my money they owe me, but I wouldn't ever play there by depositing again!

Obviously for the sake of the poll assume withdrawals work okay and everybody's account balance pre-Black Friday is honoured.

Then I vote YES! I love their software & really miss playing there!

yeah i think i would because the software is just 2 god dam goooood lol

With new owners I would participate in CC events there but that is all. I always way preferred PS to FT and given a choice would always play at PS primarily.

I would. I lost a few hundred when they went down, but I loved their software and Rush On Demand tournies. I haven't really played any poker since April other then a few times on some Merge sites, so I'd be more then willing to play at Full Tilt if it was possible.

+1 at the RODs lol.

Still haven't been able to find a format besides those that I have been really good at.

Invalid poll. No Cake or Bastard Seriously though voted "I dunno". Not sure why but playing poker online has really lost it's luster since BF and not just because it's play $. Perhaps I'm going through manopause Still play occasionally on PS for practice and tbh the play is not so different than some of the low level real money games that were offered on FT and PS before BF (CC games excluded of course ).

I used to play on FT now and again but there was something about the site I didnt like, I much preferred PS. The only reason I played there was for bonuses and rakeback and CC games.
If they had a spectacular "come back bonus" offer I might be tempted , clear the bonus and go back to PS cos I will never trust FT again, they have proved they dont give a sh.t about their players, only their money.

Voted yes but as a U.S. player I doubt that I'll have that option.

With new ownership and the eyes of the poker playing world on them, the chances of anything shady would be remote (knock on wood).

This ^^^

Crooks or not, Tilts software is > PS, Carbon, Bodog, UB, ect...

I voted no, but like Daks, would play CC games there. I think a better question would be, 'would you deposit on FT again'. That would be a 100% no..

Cake, bastard?

i would play there again if it was taken over by new owners and management and also only if they had previously paid back whatever money they owed to people.

I answered yes, but I'm assuming a fair few things in that answer, including:

- The stuff Dorkus mentioned above
- Guarantee that funds were being properly segregated / protected
- That there's actually decent traffic on the site
- That they maintain the Ironman / rakeback / loyalty programs, or transition us to an equivalent and equally rewarding system
- That the software will be essentially unchanged / equally good

Yes I would. Im sure there will get new management team. I like the Fulltilt software.

Solid assumptions, assume these to be true for the sake of the poll.

(No cake/bastard because I'm genuinely curious about this, sorry )

This ^
& YES!!! In a heartbeat! (FTP > Stars 3:1, I never used to play on Stars ever)

I would play without a doubt. Of course they have to give me my money back first. I will play but with only a part of my BR. Anyway since FT was shut down i never played with more than 10% of my BR on one site. The rest of my BR is well kept on Neteller. No matter where i play at the end of the mounth i widthraw the profit to Neteller.

I never really liked FT anyway, I always picked PS over FT every time, after what happened I don't think I'd ever be inclined to play with any sort of real money on their site only freerolls.

yes, in an instant, but would keep minimal amount of money there. And only if those w*nkers Ferguson and Lederer et all were nowhere near the site........

Voted yes under the conditions described by Dorkus and OZ.

Of course Bastard was my first option, as it is not on the poll I voted yes. I am US so it is really just a fantasy at this point. I preferred FT to Stars. I loved the software and the cash tables were alot more fun than what is on Merge.

My first thought was "In a heartbeat", but PO beat me to it.

I always liked FT better than any of the other sites, and I miss playing there more than I'd like to admit to myself.

Yep. I would. I would want my $1000+ back, but would love to play there again for most of the reasons mentioned and as long as conditions already mentioned were met ( Oz and Dorkus come to mind here).

If it was FT as we knew it (minus the thieving incompetent management) I am SO THERE.....

BUT I will believe it when I see it..............

Yea, no cake no bastard....... What is the world coming to.................

i'd prob play 25% of my volume there and 75% on stars

I would only play free rolls to start off , and I never make any deposits.

I would deffo play at fulltilt, there software is far superior
to ANY other site that I can find.
Plus I loved the FT academy.
FT was my 'poker home'.
since the shutdown I have only had a
'half-hearted' approach to online poker,
mainly because other sites software that I have tried is crap.
Also I don't deposit on a site till I want to withdraw.
So far, I have withdrawn £310 ($483)
from 2 sites (betfred and cdpoker).
Not a lot I know, but I'm only a freeroll/micro/fun player.
I still have $237 + a step 3 ticket on FT and since
this has cost me nothing , I would play there in an instant.
I was hoping to keep building my BR there to move up thru' the limits.
If it re-opens I will be there 'like a shot'.

BTW, I voted 'YES'

fulltilt till death <3

I'm a U.S. player.

If I was paid back, and they were run by a new company (who kept player account separate) I'd play.

Of course, this also assumes that they somehow got licensed to operate in the United States.

hai vanq! <3

what were these percentages pre-black friday?

I'd play my existing BR there, but it would take a very long time to convince me to deposit there.

i would be SO FKN HAPPY to play may existing BR there.....

Like others here, would play but would be very hesitant to deposit. They would have to come out of the gate with something different or at least some good public relations to mend the bridge. Not sure I would really trust the "brand name" like I had before.
