wow. thanx for this thread. i thought it was me. the experiences reported here are my experiences on ftp. luckily its only been play chips. but i have had stacks of up to 23M just vanish over the course of weeks of ridiculously bad beats. my hand history shows how unbelievably non-random this site is. 23x in a 1500 hands I had ak, aq, aj, at and flopped two pair. ridiculous in itself. but always up against an opponent playing ace-rag. and either rag showed up in flop and then another rag on turn or river. or no rag on flop but turn AND river are rag-rag.
it just got to the point that i was no longer playing poker but just guarding against bad beats. i have 9-10 suited. flop is k, 9, 10. i just know qj has been dealt so i fold. i watch the hand and qj has indeed been dealt. ftp finally resorted to the full house v better full house scenario to break me. and i will never be back.
ftp is all about dealing multiple players a hand or draw that can call an all-in bet. for anybody that's played live poker, its difficult to get paid even when you flop a set from a pocket pair. usually your opponents dont have anything to call with. on ftp they are raising you all-in.
when they get around to auditing their random number generator, audit this. the number of paired flops (flops, not boards) is ridiculously non-random. And with only 2 ranks, it would be typical for all players to miss. but on ftp, take 3,3, king. almost always a 3 and a king will have been dealt. and for more action two players will have a 3.
rake city.
ftp is a bad site to learn on because all it teaches you is that top pair/top kicker or top 2-pair is never good. it gives players such distorted views of the odds that you will either be fearful or broke. and the fearful are only delaying being broke by folding hands that should win.
basically ftp skips all the hands where ace-high or king-high would win. only the action hands are left.
