Congrats to Full Tilt players...The true champions of online gaming!
 
I have played on Paradise, UB, Stars, and also Party (where I must admit, I did see some extraordinary athletes)....however...

I have never before seen players who have such a will to win like those on Full Tilt......

No matter what obstacles they face (bad starting cards, missing the flop, their opponent hitting the flop)...they know that with a little dedication and a strong enough desire, they can get there and accomplish whatever goals they set their minds to.

We have all seen it in the world of sports....A team loses a big game and then the floodgates open up. Check out the 2004 Yankees for example. But rest assured, the Full Tilt player is a different breed of mammal. After a losing a hand, the Full Tilt players does not wilter. He/she comes back stronger than ever before with a desire unlike anything mankind has ever witnessed. Once the player puts its mind toward winning, there is no way to stop it!! At this point, the cards become irrelevant. Cards cannot deter such inspired play. The Full Tilt player is able to block out all else but the pot. Perhaps the player envisions the scooping of the chips before the hand starts, much like how golfers try to picture their shot before they attempt it. If only one could look through their screen and into the eyes of one of these players. It would be like staring into the eyes of Tyson about knock out one of his early victims....like Clemens glaring towards homeplate....or dare I say Jordan - when handed the ball with 5 seconds left. Regardless, the opponent does not stand a chance.

If you want to play against good players, play at UB.

I forgot what Full Tilt was like, losing my stack allin on after the flop to a 2-outer twice.
AA v QQ , river Q.
KK v JJ , turn J.

Yet, my winrate is still 4 BB / 100 which is higher than UB (since I have no bonus on either, the extra winrate beats the points for cash).

UB does have better players than FTP, overall, but there's still plenty of idiots going around giving money.
