Well that really isnt that bad of a beat. I mean that happens, AA/AK arent bullet proof.
(By the way though, they take 25 cents in rake for a $1 tourney?? Man I thought that 20% at PS was bad enough...)

This belongs in the Bad Beat/Brag forum.

^^^ Yup I didnt even see which forum it was in.

Hey I folded so it wasn't really a bad beat for me.

It was nuts who folded his 8,8 and would have gone on to draw a set of 8's - maybe.

Stars does 10% tourney rake, not 20%. It runs $1.10, 2.20, 3.30, 4.40, $55,5 etc. Tilt's rake is outrageous, IMO. I have a small BR there and really hate playing anything but RM forum tourneys or ring games.

The reason I say above that nuts 'might' have drawn that set of 8's is that FT does not set the entire deck before the deal starts. Cards are requested 'on demand' and there is no guarantee that the flop would have been the 5,8,9 if he were in the hand.

$1 + .20 for SAGs @ PS.
Everything else is 10%

25% is stupid, I agree. To their defense the rake is 10% at higher value tournaments.


So what is the smallest rake anywhere?

I think UltimateBet charges 10% all the way down to its 50c SnGs?

Yes the 25% rake is a bit steep on these games, but I find the fact they're so easy to beat makes up for it.

25% is terrible! what in the fuh

Thats true, I was playing the dollar SAGs at PS to get into "orbit" (the leader boards) and I had won 7 of my first 9 games. I finished 4th once and the last one my internet crashed so I finished 7th.

Why is it called Full Tilt again? I don't get it.

If you played the hand, it would flop differently as it is computer and triggered (I think) and anyway, Pocket aren't that great, well ones bellow Jacks anyway, cause chances are, someone playing with a picture, and if they hit, your pockets are dead, so unless you hit trips, bye bye, and as for AA, they are the best pocket you can be dealt, but when you think back, AA mean all-in for most people, or a pot+ raise, and if your opponent gets 2 little pairs they win, 22,33 > AA,__, so In my eyes, Straight Draw, suited cards are good, so 56,67,78,89,910,10J suited are good calling/raising cards
