I love Full Tilt. They of course have cash games, 90 person sit & goes (paying out 1

, short handed sit & goes, and a lot of guarenteed payout tourneys. What I really like are there are deep stack sit & goes, so you actually have a chance to beat the blinds.

I just won $750 finishing 9th in a tourney last night.

I signed up for both UB and FT for the rake back. I like FT better for some reason. I do like the UB tournies though. UB deals a little faster to so you can get a few extra hands in per hour. Both have pretty fishy games. I think there are a few more people on FT but not many more. Traffic has def. picked up now that party's gone at both sites.

At the moment, my site of preference is FTP, mostly because I've been running well there. Much less traffic than P*, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Haven't played on UB for at least six months.

Good luck!

i love full tilt because i have a mac and their software is an actual downloadable application that runs on your computer. not just run in java like pokerroom.com

i like the heads up games.

i also like it because you can play 9 person turbo sit 'n go games.

just came in first tonight and made $990.

so... about that zen chip group re-buy... gimme!!

woo hoo.

The 69+6 SNGs on FT are phat! Or fat. Or juicy.

These are the equivalent of the "tier 3" SNGs on The Site Formerly Known as PartyPoker (TSFKPP). The best I can figure is that they are populated primarily by players that have worked their way up from the lower tiers. I've had several players admit this when I asked.

My ROI in these particular SNGs since the nuclear meltdown resulting from federal legislation is 186%, which is absolutely silly. Only problem is that they don't fill too fast. And I haven't had as much time to play them as I would like (given their recent phatness).

Jump in while the water is still warm. Seriously.

I started playing FTP when it was still in beta... (back then you could win cash coins for playing and feedback so I didnt deposit forever) anyhoo.. personally I really like it.. lots of options, love the SNG's they are generally pretty soft... one of my fav multi's are the 24+2 guaranteed payout trnys - you can sit at a $4, $6 or $8 dollar sng that pays out a token for the 24+2 they are soft and the $8 18 player pays the top 5 people the token and 6th place cash! I have made the final table about 6 times in the 24+2 guaranteed off of these 8 dollar sng's so your return can be great! I have noticed more donks lately since the shut down of some of the other online places and I find weekends have more donks as well.. there is a sunday night guaranteed that is a 35K that is great!

I signed up on FTP Sunday night and have played 2 tourneys and cashed in both,450 person $10 came 3rd for $250 and $10 90 person SNG and came 16th for $16.80.
I like it so far even though the cartoony feel takes some getting used to after spending most of my time on P*.

I joined FT about 3-4 weeks ago after the recent online poker bill went through and I was closed out of the sites I spent most of my time at. I play micro-limits and I've been in a death spiral since signing up. It has been the same way at P*s too. I can't win at those 2 sites no matter how I play or what game (PL Omaha, NLHE, LHE, full or shorthanded). For example my poker tracker stats at FT has me 4 for 13 with pocket Kings. That's pretty much somes up how things are going for me at those 2 sites. It seems like I see the same people at the tables always winning with the same hands I'm losing with and they win several hands (30%+) at a session and these are hands that go to showdown. I can't even get a sniff of a hot seat. I wish I could say things were going great. It's been very frustrating and costly. I hope it turns around.
