No more 50% flop tables in 3/6. Funny how tight tables kill win rate. Now a good table is 35% flops and they don't last long!

[/ QUOTE ]

wow, where do you find 35% 3/6 tables? i don't know if i've ever seen a 9 or 10 handed one (that lasted for a whole hour) before or after the bill.

I must be playing the wrong sites

I have no idea what my winrate was pre or post bill. I have played about 125k hands post bill and about 600k hands pre.

It takes SO MANY hands to determine your win rate that comparing win rate from one month to the next is meaningless. It's also meaningless to compare win rate from one year to another, because the games naturally change, as does the way you play.

This is about the only worthy comment in this thread. God Bless you sir...

US players can no longer fund their account. Europeens can. If you were a poker site, who would you rather see win?

Just sayin' ......

I've been stone cold since popping a tourney for $4,000 two days before the sheet hit the fan.

Even if what you said about not being able to fund our accounts were true, which it isn't, I think your reasoning is still off. I would give the wins to the people who are less likely to put more money into their accounts so that they would be able and ecouraged to continue playing and generating rake.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, so US players are running out of options to fund accounts, and the ability to even play at the sites is hanging in the balance. Sites are going to want to see money stay at the site(and keep coming), not leave it. Your logic is flawed.

Just thought I'd point out this gem.

I play 2 tables, a few hours every day since 1999. That is how you get a half million. I remember when Crypto was 60% flops ALL THE TIME! (that is sixty - not a typo).

If you guys think Full Tilt is full of fish you REALLY need to get out more to see the rest of the world. WAIT - you can't.

I was playing $5/10 games at 60% every week 6 months ago.

I was playing 45% 2/4 and 3/6 tables ALL the time 6 months ago!

Now I'm forced to play 32% tables. Funny - people see their HUD that tells them they are on a 35% table but the HUD is wrong. You are seeing an average of the players at a table which is typically 5-7% off what is REALLY happening.

I can not see how somebody can say that going from loose 45% tables to tight 32% tables and "adjusting their game" will keep them at the same win rate - THAT is just BS and wishful thinking.

I have to agree. It is also why people that depend on HUD and PT are getting poor information (I have both). Players change. 1000 hands now is different the 1000 then.

It makes perfect sense. Site get paid by people playing -- period. They care about customer base only!

If they actually cared who won (and they don't) they would want those of us in the US that are about to run out of funding options to continue to beat those that do have funding options OBVIOUSLY so the house continues the rake. If those of us that can't add more go away completely -- they lose customer base. Make sense? Lord a mercy -- IT'S NOT RIGGED FOR GOD'S SAKE!
