Full Tilt’s True Identity

by Blake on December 27th, 2007

From now on, let’s call Full Tilt Poker by its true name: Get It In With The Worst To Win Poker.

I really have never seen so many hands in a row where a hand is way behind when the money goes in and somehow finds a way to catch up. It’s almost become a guarantee, it seems, at this site, that you can’t win if you don’t go in behind. No matter what the odds are, Full Tilt awards the donkey.

Award The Donkey Poker?

Life’s a Crapshoot, Why Not Suck It Poker?

Ninety Percent Shminety Percent Poker?

I don’t get it. I need to suck more. Or play against people who are actually better than me.

    I gave up with full tilt long time ago, I don’t know how many times my AA got cracked when I was 4 to 1 favourite.

    give bodog a try, competition is so soft.

    yeah i was watching you in your last sng. A player called you with KQ with 10/j blank on the board and u pushed with A/k allin. and he hit an ace or something on the river. That sucked but with around 1200 in chips I would of been all in preflop and if i saw a flop when i had 8 outs and was costing me not even half my stack I would call you also. but im one of them sucky players who hit them one outters.

    I’m not sure this is just indicative of Full Tilt. I have a pretty good tendency to bust said donkeys left and right on that site. I think the software is a little slanted towards donkeys there but not enough that the donkeys become big money winners there. In the long run if you look up those donkeys on a site like Sharkscope you will see that they are hundreds if not thousands of dollars down on FT. So it’s not like they’re ALWAYS sucking out.

    Man, what a lawsuite waiting to happen if Full Tilt purposely alters the deck odds to reward the dog player (I believe they do it purposely).

    This is why I hate online poker. The cheating potential is through the roof from both the house and the players.

    I expect people have to find the site that suits their style of play. I like playing on Betfair around the time the pubs shut in England - there are plenty of players wanting to play when they are drunk.

    Hey guys.
    Full Tilt poker of course fakes the random generator.
    Why not?
    The worst hand wins most of the times. Today again. I only won all ins with KQ vs AA and AQ vs KK
    i lost all the ones where i was behind.
    It’s only in Full Tilts interest if the game becomes a gambling place. The donkeys think they are good players and rebuy when they lose everything. Players like me who can play poker quite good lose on bad beats and think that the bad beats will stop sometime. So everyone thinks he can win and cashes in time after time.
    If they see that one player cahses in very often
    they make him lose more because they know he will buy in. The style of the Website is so great that most of the players redposit.

    I’m goin to analize my hand history and than report to them. And then i will never play there again.

    i caint take it anymore, all of my loses have been on the river when they only had 4 sometimes 3 outs. ex. i had pocket 6s, got quads on the flop. owned right? not. he had pocket jacks with trips on the flop and caught his only out on the river, $160 dollar hand. that was the worst. i play live poker and seldom do u see that many suck outs. and as for the random card selection, thats not true. its a computer software there is no such thing as random and never will be for quite sometime. i’ve won big on some suck outs on the flip side but doesnt compare to the amount ive lost.

    Yeah, I’ve changed my opinion of it too…to the point where I don’t play online for money anymore. The bad beats finally caught up to me and an honest guess of this indicates that indeed I lost about 70% of the time I got my chips in ahead. If someone would be willing to invest in some analytical software and play at least 1,000 hands on FTP they probably could come up with grounds for legal action….if they weren’t offshore and thus immune to legal action from Americans.

    My advice…don’t play online for money until it’s taxed and regulated in the USA.
