FULL TILT

Oct 4, 2008 6:33 am Report Abuse

Full Tilt is a waste of time. I just played 3 hours of poker to win 28 cents. This site has shown me nothing but the fact that they rewards donkeys and morons and tilt conservative players. I flopped a strong A earlier just to get beat by some donkey who pushed all in with J4 suited. Like usual Full Tit conveniently dealt runner runner to give the guy a straight. I just dont understand why people play that way and why Full Tilt feels the need to reward these idiots. I don't care what anyone says that is not smart poker. People play to lose and end up at final tables. This does not make any sense. I don't know what people have to do to win on that site but its ridiculous. Anyway online poker is for donkeys and morons.

Has nothing to do with the site. The only difference between live and online play is that you see more marginal, and yes, even 'stupid' play online. The more hands that are played, the more showdown variance there will be.

Why do ppl play that way? For one, you were quite likely in a freeroll. The key word here being 'FREE'. Since when in these times do most ppl treat things that are 'free' with much respect? They don't. Doesn't cost them a thing except time and it's the adrenalin rush of the one hand win.

Don't know how much live poker you've played in your few years, but I've been playing live since '69 and have seen the runner, runner / sukout showdowns many, many times. More than I would care to try to count.

Expect this kind of play in freerolls and micro/low stakes games. It's the nature of online poker and the poker gods are doing the rewarding, not the sites. You'll need to have a talk with them.

Yeah im guessing freeroll too but I totaly agree full tilt is rigged for action and the weaker hands always win. Im basicaly done with online poker. Its just not worth the time or investing money into it. I personaly am working on a small bankroll too start playing live poker and give that a try. And online I wouldnt expect to win with ace x even if its 10 or better them are suicide hands if u ask me. And yes ive played alot of online poker and seen many hands so trust me I feel ur pain.

C'mon tripps, weaker hands don't 'always' win. Wish they did ..

Most of my play is split between FT and Stars and I see the same things on both sites. Action cards in a freeroll? Gimme a break - lol.

I've played live since '69 and there IS a difference between live and online. You'll see much looser play online. A lot of players can't stand not to be in a hand. They play everything and anything. When they do, there will mathematically be more sukout hits. In live play, just as a simple example, an AK betting 5xBB might get called by a reasonably strong drawing hand. When the board throws out a 4,5,7 (and often could) there's no caller that will hit, but an online player with his 6,8o hand will have called. Live - that 6,8 player wouldn't be in the hand.

Bottom line, don't blame the sites. They don't do chit. Blame the players. It's the rag players that hit rag boards. By all means, tripps, join the ranks of live players. It's a lot more fun, a helluva lot better play, but also be prepared for the runner, runner sukouts. They happen in live play too.

Anyway online poker is for donkeys and morons. This statement will not endear you to the rank and file of Railbirds ! There are many players here who cash consistantly, and many who don't, yet, but are working on their game.

Just because you can't seem to find a way to be profitable, doesn't mean that everyone else who plays is a donk, or a moron ! Yes there is some foolish plays made in online games, but there are also some real good players that win , and withdraw money on a regular basis too !

Insulting players is not such a smart thing to do, especially 60,000 of them at once !.... Wait a minute, you just said that you just finished playing, right ? So let me guess, which one are you ?.....You're a moron, right?

....Tc.....

Please forgive flop thetherags , this person is suffering from freeroll withdrawl. It is a condition that shows up , when after three or more hours of nerve racking poker you actualy win but then realise you have earned about 11 cents an hour for your effort.

We must be kind to any one suffering from this . We have all been there , every one of us. The only way to avoid these symptoms is to deposit and move forward to the :ONLINE POKER IS RIGGET: stage of this manifistation.

You just won some actual money for free and your mad? I know members who have built actual BR's from th efreerolls and I have cash on every site RB hosts them and still sit ( for about 35 min. , then I just tilt it off) ,.

Be gratefull for the freebies in life , we get so few nowadays.
