CrazyThing has something to say in the FTForums:
I have to agree that FT does not use a random number generator. The losses I've had for a while now cannot be coincidence. If you know anything about poker at all, you know that mathematically you can’t loose over and over with the best hand, especially not to ridiculous beats. Just watch guys like Gus Hansen and Phil Ivey duke it out nightly at the omaha hi-lo tables, but I do not hear them crying bad beats....ever!!!
Don’t get me wrong, I know bad beats (or just simple bad luck) happens, more often than any of us would like. But I play in live tourneys all the time, and I am very good at matching odds… when this site says “tag, you’re it”, you might as well sit back and forget about it because the odds are no longer fair and even. Maybe I believe a little too much in statistics, but nevertheless, they’ve always proven correct for me so I’ll continue.
You have likely got to know when to quit, when to NOT shove it all in, and when you are really ahead or just marginally ahead. Most of the bad beats I see, really aren't that bad.
And statistically, if a player plays every day, plays very well and time after time has the best hand – that same player doesn’t get beat by basically nothing every time they play for weeks at a time. Not randomly anyway! Don’t get me wrong – I’m not speaking as a ‘sore loser’, I play for money that matters against people I can see, not against a computer; but it is still very disheartening to play on here for enjoyment and practice only to have the computer decide it’s not your “turn” to win this month (or however long they keep you “tagged”).
Nothing personal against Full TilT however, I’ve been playing for years, and all of the sites are doing it more and more. But for those of you that may be fairly new at playing online – it wasn’t always like this… that is what is so sad about it!! And it doesn’t bother me if you copy my post into yours so you can call me an idiot or make fun of what I’ve said, I don’t come in here and read these things enough to know it if you do. After all, it is my belief that anyone who actually believes FT, or any online gaming site, is here for you and your enjoyment and not for your money doesn’t have anything to say that I would want to hear.
