Hey everyone....listen...I love this forum topic because I agree with what is being said here 100%.
Well....let me start off by saying that I've been playing poker ( live and online ) for about 7 years.
I've played quite a lot here in LA as there are many places to play ( Commerce Casino, The Bicycle Club,etc.) For 7 years, i have dedicated thousands of hours regarding the study of Poker, as I probably have 80% of the all the books ever written on the subject. Usually when I play live ..I play at a nearby casino called The Hawaiian Gardens Casino. Since my work schedule and family obligations keep me busy...I find it easier to play online mostly now. Specifically FT. After playing thousands of hands...you should be able to see distinct patterns of almost predictable rigged poker scenarios. Before I get into why I am certain Full Tilt is ( rigged for action at minimum ) ...I'd like to tell you a story of a friend I have who actually works for Full Tilt.
I'll keep his name anonymous.....but I will tell you he works out of their Ireland base. He's been working for Full Tilt for a few years...and confided to me that Full Tilt is very much a "business" that has a bottom line and profit goals. He didn't go as far as say that every hand was rigged, but the did tell me that ABSOLUTELY...the hands dealt on FT are "NOT" random. In addition he told me that their software program functions differently depending on the "level" in which you were playing. In areas where there is a larger rake being collected ( higher limit games ) there is measurably more randomness in comparison to lower limit games. I interpreted this to mean that the higher limit games ( many in which the pros play and big internet studs play is actually ...the MOST random. He did not refute this, but it seemed evident to me. From playing years in live casinos...I do have to admit that you DO see many bad beats quite often.....but not at the unfathomable frequency you do at Full TIlt. Even if you were to statistically measure the bad beat scenarios and monster vs. monster rigged set-up hnads that are common on the site....the ratio of insane plays,bad beats, miracle 1- outers and odds defying catches are not congruent to being dealt more hands per hour. It almost appears that these scenarios exit the world of exception and become the normal expectancy. This is where you start asking yourself, is the card distribution really random? My gut tells me ....absolutely not..... A long time ago ...my father told me to remember that anything that involves money and profit is corrupted. Full Tilt is no exception.
Now...many of you guys know what I'm talking about...after playing thousands and thousands of hands....a clear pattern and predictability starts to appear in various scenarios, depending on the circumstances. Scenarios I like to call the "Classic FT rigged set-up hand." The funny thing is that if you can readily identify these scenarios, you can actually avoid SOME of them. No really...its sounds crazy folding Jacks or queens...but very often...probably with 50-70% reliability I make the right call to lay them down with minimal info at best.
I'm sure that many of you have seen classic patterns at various stages of the game like for example....there are many predictable occurences when your at the bubble stage of a low limit SNG.
In some later posts, I'll give you my own Top 10 classic rigged set-up hands. I do need to tell you....I currently have close to a 50% ITM....and I have been successful in live games. Online is completely different. Give me your guys input...
