Who is currently playing there on a regular basis from this forum?

If so, give your list of pros and cons about the site.......or in other words, rate/review them.

Thanks

Mike the Mouth is paid to promote them and often suggests that they indeed may not be completely fair.......food for thought.

Last month he had a hand where he flopped 9-9-5 with 8-9 as his hand..........a player called a $10,000 raise from him with A-Q suited and hit runner-runner for his flush.

Not completely unbelievable, but this happens to him on a routine basis.........or hands similar to it.

Only site I use these days. Sign up for epassporte (ewallet) if you are going to play there. Checks take a week or 2 if you decide to go that route.

Pros:
Reliable payouts
Tons of traffic
Fairly soft competition
Good software
Rakeback
Ironman promotion (rewards you for frequent play)
Ability to multi table - resizeable tables
Financially secure company

Cons:
Poor customer support - no phone support
Server frequently down (more often that it should be anyways)
Many users experience unusual lag when multi-tabling (I do not)
Guaranteed prize pool tourneys rarely have prize overlay

I think it is rigged also. The server crashes all the time too. Definitely recommend Stars over FTP.

Full Tilt is the easiest site to data mine. Simply open up 17 tables, turn on Poker Tracker, and enjoy. Because of this, the tables tend to be filled with lots of tight, aggressive, multi-tabling nits.
