*** Warning ***

Feb 3, 2010 7:38 am Report Abuse

After uploading the new Full Tilt update this evening I decided to play a little Rush, where I saw a couple of Railbirds on the Apollo Table, I was playing a few bucks ahead and then had a really bad experience ! I was, or at least had been on somewhat of a decent run, this had happened before :

Then later on I got into another hand where I had the nut flush draw after the flop in a raised pot......make the nut flush on the turn, am bet into, and get almost all of my money in good,.... But .... the river changed the nuts...lol... I anticipated it was going to happen as soon as I saw his cards, and the flush showed up on the turn ! ... I can take the beat well enough, this isn't the first time it has happened to me...lol...

Notice this picture is a little different !...... Right after losing that nearly $22 pot I am put in the small blind, dealt pocket Kings with $5.57 left in front of me....before I have a chance to get excited about the prospect of losing the rest of my money,..... the damn screen freezes up !......I can't do anything to play the hand, the last hand device works, I can see the lobby changing banners, I can look at my stats, change lobby screens, etc., but, the only thing I can do with this hand is quit the game, and as soon as I do the little wavey card shuffling reconnect screen comes on ......

Needless to say, I took that last picture with my digital camera, signed out of Full Tilt, and now that I have posted this blog to warn you people.... I am gonna go ahead and sign off Railbirds, and proceed with getting mad !

Still haven't played this yet, even after your 2nd blog which was very interesting, now this warning, loose your conn. & loose the hand.

This is my first freeze up in a long, long time !...... I run XP Pro thru a really good router, have a constant 100.0 Mbps speed connection, and haven't had any similar problems, hardly ever !

Seriously, it happened because the table background you are using sucks. Jungle? Oh dear I need to make you a sexy one with nipples to improve your luck.

SilentBobAK47 Feb 3, 2010 9:51 am
I have XP and have not experienced anything like this in such a long time. However I have been having occasional problems with Tilt crashing when I try to open the last hand replayer. It's like I cannot predict when I open it if it'll crash or not. But that really sucks especially when you got a good hand

(but, who knows, it may be a sign from above )
Supertramp77 Feb 3, 2010 10:10 am
ouch! i can feel your payin!
and especially: couldnt have happend this one round before? - so that you wouldnt have been involved in the runnerrunnerfullhouse hand?!

i cancelled playin at fulltilt because of their permanently technical issues and because their server was almost every day down for maintainance or technical errors. and i am very happy to decided so. at pokerstars where i play today were this month no downtime. (there was only once an announced (!) maintainancetime for their server, but tho all the games -but sitngos- were running quite well as usual.

however, i wish you best of luck so that you can win the bucks back which you`ve lost TC.

best of luck on Your ways!

You were probably better off....

Kings weren't doing so hot yesterday in the ole Rush format, I was dealt them twice and ran into a set once, second time Aces... Still finished +, no thanks to those filthy range bums some call cowboys

Railbirds card: KhRailbirds card: Ks BOO!!! (I'm just speaking out of hurt, I love those guys)

I too have had multiple issues with FT. It would seem to be a case where the site is too big for its britches. Multiple diconnects are the norm there and I therefor avoid any cash games there. It is site specific although FT support pontifocates there is nothing wrong with there site and my IP is to blame. Well I do not have the issue with any of the other sites I play at. NONE OF THEM!! Only FT. It would seem they have no intention of fixing it as denial is the flavor of the week.

Hmmmmm,I've played quite a bit there, fortunately this hasn;t happened to me yet. However, I use the 'slide' tables, twice I was skipped by a table! Good luck to you. Oh yeah, the boat was predictable.
XPOKERCHIC Feb 3, 2010 2:11 pm
That happened to me yesterday also. I was in the BB with AA and had just moved to a new table. I could not call, beat, or anything. I was fairly short stacked and needed that boost. Glad I got frozen, cause it was a cooler hand when I turned back to look, pp 10's would have won. LOL. Went on to place ITM. X
Peaches7891 Feb 3, 2010 3:03 pm
that sucks. i hadnt heard of it locking up like that. thanks for the warning.....now calm down,,,,lol
Miss_Danger Feb 3, 2010 3:12 pm

TC....I talked about that over the weekend. Twice I had my screen freeze up with pkt aces...and couldn't move left or right...like you said...I could watch the action..move from log in screen...watch everything in motion..but could not participate.

TORTURE!!! I tell ya.................pure TORTURE!

Do ya think that may be what hell is like?

I just know, if there's re-incarnation.....I'm going to be sent back as a fish in an aquarium...in the poker room of the Commerce in California.

hotpepperIV Feb 3, 2010 3:30 pm
Ya know TC, you could have expected it, after all it's FT. Although the rush game is new lot's of folks are flocking to it. but it's still FT. I liken it to the alcaholic that goes from liquor to beer expecting a different results.. Hope that gives ya a grin. Besides freezing, my screen becomes fragmented about every 3 weeks. The cards on the table will become fragmented like a puzzle with half the pieces gone, once my cards were delt upside down, I won that one by the way, go figure, another story. I don't know if I'm kidding myself cause I know squadush about puters but since I started rebooting my puter every morning or before I go to bed, I haven't had a problem since...good luck on the felt and may the river be kind to Ya.
Topcat1954 Feb 3, 2010 5:33 pm

That was last night, and now this morning I played for 30 minutes, no freeze up, and profited $60.....

Topcat, dude, brother, friend ... I love you man but that aint chit.

I have been HU at the end of a tourney and had them crushed and lost due to my connection, twice!!

I have had MOST of my money in good when I flopped the nuts with a caller and lost the connection, yep autofolded out to a raise and lost the hand.

I have been holding tough in a tourney, got booted , took almost half hour to reconnect and got back on in time to see me lose , or have 5 BB left etc, etc MANY times.

You know that time a year an a half or so ago when I beat RailJoe HU for the FR monthly, for 500 bones, not a smooth half hour after the game I lost POWER in that town for 2 hours. Anything can happen with dependance on so many systems.

The Ol electric highway can be very convenient BUT it comes with a price, you are at the mercy of routers, servers, wifi , hackers attacking the site etc. Hell where I am now if it is a bad rainstorm my connection gets weak.

Glad things are going better today ol friend.

Peace, BPB

mbe ftp saved u 5.57 The A2 would hit 4 sure
Ichigo Feb 3, 2010 7:47 pm
yep good ol ftp!! i had this happen to me before when i held quad queens. system froze up and made me fold to full house.
TradeMark310 Feb 3, 2010 8:08 pm
Happened to me too after the update. I froze in a MTT I was playing. I closed the table but left the lobby up, and chose "take your seat" but it just brought me to a random table. I had to close FTP all together and log back in.
ezee8 Feb 3, 2010 8:40 pm
When it happened to me I was on the bubble and All-In with the nut straight.

It froze up, sat me out, and gave my stack to a 2 pair.

The Full Tilt Pricks said it was my fault and wuoldn't evan compensate me with a buy-in to another tournment.

I almost hate that site!
