Run by people who make a living conning people out of their hard earned money and using it as a tax shelter.

People expect the software to be 100% fair. Idiots.

The data IS out there if you look. The best hand PF does not win nearly as much as it should. Certain middle hands have much higher winning %'s by the river.

Anyway. I've played nearly 500k hands+. Made money, but not that much. Everytime I'd start building up there would be a massive cold streak where all my made hands would not hold up by the river.

This stat says it all. In my career @ FT I hit 1827 full houses. Which is actually 2.5 times lower then it should have been. Of those full houses made I won only 77% of the time!!!!!!!!!! A far cry from the 98%. My full houses lost 11x as often as they should have. Other strong hands I lost more often as well. Other statistics are not quite as ridiculous but very close.

Why? Full tilt doesn't want people to win money. If you do, they start coolering you to death. Give you unfoldable hands like a straight on the flop, flush, or top set, or even a full house which are either already beat or in the case of straights...will hit runner runner full houses or flushes by the river. or the 2 pair 4 outer hits by the river.

So why does full tilt handicap? So bad players who are incapable of winning will have some success. Why is that important? So all these bad players think they are decent or good and think they can win their money back. So...they redeposit, and keep redepositing..... probably hoping they become addicted.... The same thing holds true with solid or good players. Since when they win they take money out of the site, Full Tilt sees that as LOST money. Which is not in their interest. So they handicap these good players such that they barely win or remain close to even. So basically the money stays in their system much longer and they get to widdle away at it through the BS rake.


There are only 2 ways to defeat this BS. #1 regulation from Europe and / or USA. #2 eliminate rake all together. Rake is important for Brick and mortar for expenses but is completely BS for online. Instead....Players can pay a monthly fee to play @ their site.
