FullTilt

I tried fulltilt for about 2 months now and I have to say....poorest attempt at real poker yet. The random or should I say not so random card generation is a fantastic joke. They have more flushes than a public restroom and more bad beats than ultimate fighting.I don't see any reason to sink anymore money into this site unless you are donating just to donate.Think imma stick to bodog and pokerstars.....

cliffnotes: hay you guyssss one time i got unlucky at poker

im gonna have to strongly disagree, ive been playin at just FT and Im doin just fine.

Yeah. One of the top poker sites in the world really has a problem with their "attempt at real poker". You would figure that after being around for so long that they would really have a clue about fixing that. I guess the 50,000 players that are on FTP at any one time are pretty clueless.

More flushes than a public restroom- I like that. Vince VanPatten would be proud.

Lemme see if I got this straightl you're gonna NOT play at FTP, and are sticking with Bo(ring)Dog? Rich.

Although your post did make me laugh: "more flushes then a public restroom and more bad beats then ultimate fighting", I absolutely love Full Tilt.

Post of the year!

A+ WOULD READ AGAIN!

Going in my sig!

I've been playing at FTP for around 2 years now and i've takin more than enough of my share of bad beats but overall its a great site.

LOL...Its all rigged! They dont make any money unless they tap the wallers of unexpecting players

And most of the pro's play in a rigged poker room.

Anyone tried Carbon Poker yet and if so what you think about it ?

it does seem like that i saw ivey pick up quads right on the flop to win 20 grand

There's nothing wrong with a rigged poker room. As long as it rigged in your favour.

Really, I never understand what a poker site would have to gain by juggling the odds around. If you're that good a number-cruncher to tell that the randomness is "off", you'd think you'd be able to figure out a system to make it work it to your advantage.

I noticed that I do get a lot nicer hands on Full Tilt than I do on ultimate bet. However, it seems like everyone is getting bigger hands. It makes the games go faster in my opinion cause people are betting more. I noticed myself falling into that trend too, but, as a new player, it taught me to watch the possibilities of what everyone else could get more than how good my hand sounded.

OMG.....yet another thread bandyig the R word about, How droll.

Only poor poker players complain about a poker site. Seriously guy get over yourself, you are not god's gift to the green earth so the game of poker shouldn't treat you different than anyone else. So you take more bad beats than a red headed step child, get over it!

'' poker is the only sport where you can do everything right and still lose'' If you fall off a horse your'e supposed to get back on

This is true, but you just have to know how to play the game. Here are some FTP donk tips.
1) Limp UTG with 72o then call a 4xbb raise. Don't worry, mathematically its neg EV, but it ALWAYS works out just fine at Full Tilt.
2) Always play your draws regardless of the pot odds, implied odds, expected odds or your better judgment. Gutshots are twice as likely to hit than open enders.
3) 10-2 is rigged to win 80% of the time (just like aces) in honor of Doyle Brunsons back to back wsop wins with that hand.
4) Always play any hand with a duece in it. How many times have you folded a duece only to see another one fall on the flop? It takes me hours to get over the disappointment.

Follow these simple guidelines and you'll do just fine at Full Tilt, or any other donk friendly site. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

You're beating your red headed step child?

Wolfpack...and you are whom?

I don't believe I claimed to be the towering pedistal poker player you made me in your reply....I do however feel the need to say the only point I was trying to make was I would rather play a game of poker than a highlights show. That is what you get fantastically absurd winning hands it's like watching the world series highlights except you're playing....While I can understand why some may be comfortable with this type of play...I am not.If it works for you then saweeet swank swell it doesn't work for me and as for your advice of getting over myself ppfffft. I see only one reply with a brash jugmental openly ignorant failure of the freedoms of expression. The next time you are going to attempt an attack of intellect upon someone come armed.

i won their over 14.000$ so i can say is best of all sites i played!!! and i played in a lot of sites

I am playing now a couple off weeks at FTP. I have not experience with a lot off sites but I think FTP is ok. I had only 1 bad beat until now. Hopes it stay this way

Full tilt is a joke imo. Look at these 2 hands:

What annoys me here is the fact that I lose my AA to a set of 8s but there was only 1 8 left in the deck! Crazy stuff.

Again, more bs on full tilt. The chances of 3 players having AA, KK and QQ in a 6 handed table are very poor. The chances of two of them hitting a set are nearly 1 in 100. Full tilt is just outrageous.
