Bad Commercial: Full Tilt one with Jesus

[recondite7]

You guys are missing the point. Most fish don't think they are bad players and probably don't realize that they are not capable of winning longterm.

I think the commercial is quite effective because it sticks in a person's head and gets the full tilt brand name out there.

The first part of your post is completely true. Most people that play, especially rookies, don't have a realistic view of the game and think they are winners or better than they are.

While the Jesus commercial does get the FT name out there, I think there are so many more appealing situations to put in a commercial than being drawn out against. That is the kind of situation that we all have to deal with, but it definitely isn't something that would make us want to go out and play.

The only reasoning I could have for it would be to soften the frustration of online players. It sort of shows, "this happens to pros too. Just handle it with patience and class like Jesus."

As was hinted at, the OP seeing it wrong [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The commercial is showing it takes skill and you should come play on Full Tilt and be the smart guy! And if you lose, it must have been bad luck because, of course, you're smart!

They should of had him throwing a card into the other players throat at the end.

If I have to see him chop one more banana...

The primary thrust of the FTP advertsiements is the reinforcement of the idea that anyone can win at poker. This ad shows that some random dude can beat an icon like Jesus because of luck.
