i personally hate FT because it's so [censored] rigged.

Why is there more posts about FTP being rigged than any other site? I know the claims are always BS but with more 2+2 (I think) on Stars than FTP it's odd.

No, Stars do NOT do everything better. For example. I play Heads-up. The max rake at stars is $3, where the rake is always capped at $1 at FTP. Multiply that by 200 hands per hour, and you see that the rake difference is vast.

On Stars Heads-Up tables the rake is capped at 50 cents.

Also, a point that few people care about:

IMO the structure of the stud variant games is better, and as thats all I play I prefer it over stars. There are also significantly weaker players in both hi/lo and razz making easier money.

I also like the tournament blind structure too and have faired better at FT than at Stars where I felt many tournaments were a crapshoot after an hour.

Plus for me as a low-mid stakes grinder, the deposit bonus + rakeback has really boosted my roll.

FTP RB system means total freedom from having to make and attain Supernova to get significant $$ back.
For many people who have lives outside poker this is a major plus.

I recently lost all my money on stars. Due to a night of heavy drinking and play to big of a cash game for my roll. Anyways I decided to give tilt a try. Ive noticed that the software is laggy. The game selection is not anywhere near as good as stars. It takes me 3 times as long to sign on even. What makes tilt the 2nd best place to play? I really dont understand.

Because you can play, learn and chat with the pro's

1. datamining
2. rakeback
3. click sit out next hand then stand up
4. plenty of fish during the night hours


My worse complaint: Player notes don't always take. Anyone else have a problem with that. I'd say about 1/4 of the time, a note I put on a player is gone the next time I see him at the table?

Yeah that player note really bother me lately. After the pot with them you want to take note on the player but sometimes have to wait after couples of tries. Other than that FTP is great for me so far. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I thought I had heard every possible complaint there is for Full Tilt. Not being able to stand up is by far the most unique and absurd. Now you're just reaching.

I like getting random crap I'll rarely use...like tilt's sandals, clock, trash can, rolling duffle bag, etc.

On stars I feel guilty if I don't get gift cards to walmart etc. because that's the only form of reward (fpps) whereas on tilt I save my rakeback for bills, and have fun buying random crap with the points(and it's guilt free cause not like I'll sell the points (even though I know you can))
