I don't have too much experience with FTP. I deposited a few buy ins and played some NL200 there for almost a month. I pretty much only did this because of this thread. I was up a good bit for awhile but when on a terrible run (mostly due to poor play) and lost everything. I personally like their site but didn't like the competition too much. I have a really agressive style and sometimes clash with the ultra agressive eastern/northern european style that dominates Full Tilt. It's the type of competiton that you can make the perfect read and the perfect bluff only to have your opponent make a horrible call and have his basically nothing beat your bluff. Playing against this type of competition straightforward and concentrating on getting max value on big hands instead of bluffing too much is def. the way to play but I just didn't switch my style well enough. Also, I found myself with this little voice in the back of my head everytime I took a bad beat saying "what if they are right" lol. I didn't start to believe or anything but just that little voice kept me from playing there anymore, that is how I know playing there must suck for you, you have a voice yelling at you lol. Honestly, I didn't keep any stats or anything but just from what I saw in a small 10-20k sample I didn't see anything that looked to weird, or a string of things that didn't look right. I'm not saying this validates my point at all I just didn't see much.
Obviously my results there don't compare well to my results on other sites. I've been a winning player for awhile, I usually go back and forth between PlayersOnly and Pokerstars. Playersonly is on cake so you might be familiar with it. I like playing there a lot better because I feel the competition is softer but Stars has such high volume and great tournaments I always keep an open account. As far as the whole FTP thing I wouldn't take much stock in my results I played horribly and tilted off about 3k in a week my last week there and I certainly can't blame that on FTP. However, if getting people not to play there is what you're after, you've accomplished that with me. Your arguments have put the slightest bit of reasonable doubt in my mind about the validity of full tilt, therefore I'd rather put my money on the line elsewhere. I'm not converting or anything but I have to admit that. For that reason, I'm sure you can see why you playing there is incomprehensible to me. If it bothered me and I don't even t hink you are right, I'm sure it just killed you. But hey, if it IS rigged and you've kept me from playing there I guess I owe you one. Sadly, I don't think we'll ever know.
