Since my incredibly run of bad luck on Full Tilt back in July and August I haven't had much to say. That is because I haven't played on Full Tilt very often. Instead I've been heading to my local casino where the cards definitely seem to be more random.
I've had more time to play poker recently over the holidays and have invested in the tournaments and SNG's on Full Tilt. Having played regularly at the casino and being used to the card distributions there I am astounded at how obviously flawed the cards are on Full Tilt.
Aone who suggests that it just appears that there are more bad beats and action flops on Full Tilt because of the rate of flops seen need to get their heads read.
I may have repeated this before but these are the most obvious and glaring anomolies on Full Tilt from my experience:
1) Aces get cracked heads up more than 50% of the time. Nowadays when I see AA on Full Tilt I know my tournament life is at risk. This doesn't make statistical sense to intuit AA as a losing hand but on Full Tilt it will get you knocked out more than any other hand (excpet maybe KK). If you see my stats on OPR, I do fairly well at single table SNGs but I have a host of games where I come 9 out of 9 or 8 out of 9. Most of those were due to getting AA early in the game and having them cracked.
2) Bad beats are horrendous. Playing on Full Tult is like dodging land mines and the bigger your hand the more likely an opponent has the cold nuts. Many times I'll flop a set and the card which gave me my set will give an opponent a straight. When I get straight I am often beaten by a flush and so forth.
3) This is perhaps the most consistent and glaring pattern I experience on Full Tilt. After I've had a few cashes and won a profit of any type I am immediately besieged by bad luck. I get runs of bad cards, constant bad beats and cannot win a showdown. Have you ever been so unlucky on Full Tilt that you lose just about *every* showdown in a given time interval no matter how in front you are? I find this happens a lot after I've won some money. The end result is that I can never consolidate profit with more wins because I will go on a terrible losing streak and end up losing back all my profits. This cycle has been perennial in my experience in Full Tilt.
I am seriously appalled by this site and disappointed because it has many qualities, but it does not deal fair cards.
