Full Tilt's Reaction to the Scandal





Is to just keep chugging along like nobody notices.

As a talented player and struggling hard to improve my stack to sit at higher and higher tables I've been constantly met by players that prove me wrong - you can't play with the big dogs. Get out of here. It's usually lots of heavy raising. I'm going to throw a number out there, and it's not completely stolen from my butt- in over 400,000 hands I estimate 60% had a pre-flop raise. Because smart and slow not all in poker is punished. Idiot play is rewarded. So when you switch to the real money tables you get punished by doing something stupid.

One of my first games on UltimateBet was a meaningless Razz tournament where some jackass popped in with a million chips and asked, "How do you play this game?" The answer is fold because there's obviously some rigging going on.

Offering a table with a million chip buy in that three players have registered for is stupid and an insult to anyone that has a grasp of simple math. You're going to register for a game and wait 2 days for it to fill? No need for a pee break after all the Mountain Dew you've been slamming to remain conscious? No need to kiss the wife? Tend the garden? Clean the fishtank? Watch a movie?

No, I live and breathe Internet poker.
