Full TilI Poker: What a Fucking Joke.

I think last night was the single most frustrating poker night I think I've ever had. I really thought I would finally break that big buy-in cash and actually make some decent money on one of the bigger sites. But time and time again I got fucked over by beats on this crappy site.

On the money bubble with 108 people left, I was 7/110 and this pot would have put me in the chip lead:

Sighh, down to 10bbs, time for the comeback. So that wasn't a good start. I honestly thought I was going to be the next bubble boy again as just placing in the money is like $44 which would no way help me be unstuck for the day and I'm not going to fold down for a min cash like this.

Anyway, I somehow managed to claw myself back some chips through steals, resteals and winning one flip (ok ok i can't overly complain!). But I just can't seem to win the vital flips that allow you to take these tournaments down.

With 12 people left vs an aggressive opener I run into:

Which was probably the most important flip in terms of potential $ I've ever had. Cool, cool, still had 10bbs on the bubble of the final table. 2 hands later I think wow, you know today may actually be the day!

No final table bubbled for $240. Top 6 places all pay over a $1k with first at $6.5k. FML. I just seem to run like absolute shit when I get within 100 runners in these 1k tournaments. Really really annoying. Gahh i guess it's just variance but this was the closest to a big final table I've got on this site and time and time again I was just getting fucked over by the cards. I hope one day I make one of these final tables for some serious money.

I don't know how the yanks do it just playing on those two sites, it would actually kill me. I'm still -ROI on full tilt (and slightly positive pokerstars). At least I had a bit of luck and took down the £1k GTD on crypto for £378 for a slight profit on the day. But it could have been a whole lot better :(

Bring on Sunday..

  5. I sent an e-mail to FTP customer support about how absolutely unrealistic the dealings are and pissed and moaned about how they reward idiot play. I mean, the odds don't even matter on this site. They replied by actually admitting that if they didn't give the "donkey" players the pots then the poker would be unfair to weak players.....r u fucking kidding me. That is what poker is all about, if you can't correctly play a hand then u should lose. Not at this site.....RETARDS REWARDED AT FULL SHIT POKER.

  8. All the sites are like that, I would never trust a card game online, thats a recipe for getting screwed over, online Poker in general is luck anyways, but i have played 1-3$ stakes on multiple sites and the odds do seem really skewed (along with the flops and draws)compared to live... they say its because you see more hands, but anyone with common sense that has played a 2hr session can just sense what is going on... but it has to do with the stakes 2, poker is luck in general unless you are playing high stakes... Ive started only playing live tournaments (if im gonna get sucked out cuz someone doesn't give a shit about calling 10/20$ i would rather it be in a tournament)... the only thing i do online is sportsbook

  10. Today getting help with that small extra need for cash is easier than ever.So if you find yourself short of cash and need that "little extra" consider an online cash loan.

  11. online poker takes no skill wat so ever... the only skill in poker is reading people's body language, and "reads" aka guessing... and 3rd grade math... if you play online poker your a fucking idiot, I got a roulette table set up in my basement if you want to try that... I play live poker and sports bet, both i do a whole lot fucking better in than online poker, at least i know im not getting screwed... guess what, all these "internet phenoms" you see on tv are either rich already and just play alot to win alot, or they got lucky in one tournament... full tilt makes money of people with gambling problems who will fiercely defend it to the very end
