Okay dokay - done with Full Tilt for me. In t he past when I emailed then regarding the randomness of their card server I got the typical we use RNG, etc. etc. - Okay I said - must be me. However, odd crap just kept happening (inexplicable calls of all ins with unbelievable suckouts as a result, etc.). So - I kept my own stats. After 1000 all in showdowns (not hands - just pure showdowns)

* When I am the favorite I only win 48%
* When I am the dog I lose 79%

Pocket Aces were the worse of all things - they held up 47% (geesh). So - after playing in a SNG where I had aces cracked twice AND - for the entire table the favorite in all in showdowns lost 13 out of 17 times - the last being my KQ of hearts versus 87 off suit (great call of my all in)I once gain emailed Full Tilt. I wanted to know who audited their site to ensure that results were truly random. Their response:

"We are evaluating several well-known auditing firms and hope to have our shuffling and dealing
processes officially audited in the near future."

Bsscially - THEY DON"T HAVE AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT TO CONFIRM THAT THEIR DEALING IS RANDOM! I can see why they wouldn't - it is only the most important issue facing online players. How could they not??? So basically, everything you hear from this is testimonial in nature and not supported by any review.

So - I am done listening to the folks who tell me there is no incentive (there is - rake), that there is no cheating (wait for the next Absolute scam to surface) and that it is just me. I am a college grad (math major) and have been playing B&M mortar poker for 20 years. This site is simply not random. I am done with it.
