full tilt crash issues
*shrugs*
At least they're pausing the tournaments and dealing with it equitably. You're just experiencing the frustration live players have had for years: sitting around waiting for their game to get going.
If things shut down for too long they either refund the buy in or split up the prize pool between players equally. Problem happens when a player is at final table and has 90 percent of chips, instead of getting 90 percent of prize pool they get 11 percent.
Also if mid hand in a cash game they split the pot, you could just have pushed all in with a flush, and the pot gets split with the person u caught
bluffing.
On a large scale it would be tough to really proportionally divide prize pools, so the way they do it makes sense.
I have also wondered, if someone knew how to make full tilt servers crash, they could play for any amount of money and if got behind in a hand or close to getting knocked out of tournament, send a death ping to full tilts servers and crash it all, gets the player their money back, or a portion of prize pool.
