Over five different sites, normally someone can find me parked at a bogus Omaha Hi-Lo table, but I'm not a one trick pony. This is a "bump" to re-post some old thoughts about Full Tilt that were posted long ago.
Instead of Omaha, I play two table no-limit Hold'em on Full Tilt (mostly.) And since they hadn't gotten any love from me for awhile, I figured it was their turn. The payoff for finishing in the top three is great. #4 gets you some chips, but nothing worth writing home to Mom about.
What's wrong is that almost every single game plays out the same of two ways.
You're either short stacked and end up losing. Or youre short stacked, patient and miraculously make the big comeback and get that fuzzy warm feeling that the 1 1/2 to 2 hours of your life wasn't a complete waste of time. These games are the most catalogued with my trust pen and pad of paper.
20 hands before my first ace. I have less chips than everyone else. I finally get my expected run of half decent cards. I make it to the final table. I'm going to guess that about 3/4s of the time I finish in the money somewhere at this point. Upset at me being away so long, all 23 hands I was in on the final table (and finished sixth) had no aces. Overall, 3 hands in 71 with an ace.
Go ahead Full Tilt employees. Look up the hand histories. And see how in the first 4 hands at the final table my highest card was an 8, with no pairs and all were offsuit. In 71 hands, I should have had 10 or 11 with an ace. It's not just like I went all in at the first semi-decent hand and didn't get to count this up. In fact, I'm sooner to fold a decent hand to see exactly how long this insanity goes on.
But, what's really weird, is that almost every single game plays out with the same pattern. I've targeted these sit and go's because of this. I've played about 40 of them, and I've probably been short stacked in 35 without folding hands that would have been winners.
If you can't populate the game with real people, you shouldn't offer it. And I still have over 100k chips.
