Is anybody a member of any online poker sites. Specifically is anybody a member of Full Tilt Poker. I have been playing here for about two months with the play money account. Then last week I decided to try my luck at the real money games. When I played with play money, I was highly succesful. I was up near one hundred thousand play chips within a couple days. Then when I started the real money games, I have failed miserably. I have not anything differently. It almost seems as though the site is rigged. If I have an ace king, then a three, four, and six come out on the flop. If I bet pre-flop on a nine ten suited, then a king and ace come out. I never get anything. Has anybody else had this problem?

I play Full Tilt ever so often. Sometimes when I have some extra money I will put it on there and usually play the $5 tournaments that have like 9 people in them. I have finished in the top 3 quite a few times. I have noticed that at times when you should have the best hand someone always gets lucky on the river. Keep trying though and I think your luck will pane out. Maybe go back to play money for awhile and do the real money every once in awhile till you start to see some major wins. :o)

LOL - it's like you can see it coming isn't it?! grr
I think the problem is low level tables. If you don't play in a tourney for at least 20 bucks, people will still play as if they were using play chips. And cash games, I think $1 and $2 is about the minimum before people start playing stupid. Now, I am a play money player and am not claiming to know how to make it big in poker (or else I'd be there doing it now cuz it's WAY more fun :-P ), but that's my theory. Perhaps you do play for those kinds of stakes, I don't know - but if anyone can attest to what I've said, or dispute it.. by all means, do. I'd love to hear what people's experiences are in this regard.
And the "Bad Beat Jackpots" they offer nowadays... forget it! lol talk about giving people another reason to go all in on a flush draw.. ughhh

I play on Full Tilt, and have for the past year or so. I have good times and I have bad times there. LOL Some weeks, my play is great, meaning the great cards hold up. Other times, they are horrible beats. But overall, I'm not complaining, because of all of the poker sites, I have had the best luck at Full Tilt.

I used to play at full tilt about 2 years ago. All I ever played there was play chips. I would say it's just a run of bad luck. Even with play chips, I sit back and watch the table for a few minutes before I start playing the tables.
I play at another site called casinofatcat.com. They don't have the reload option there but they offer team play poker which is a unique system. They used to offer fatchip trade in for items on there ranging from tshirts and hats with the fatcat logo, poker tables, cashout for an affiliate site, and even a computer. They don't do that right now because we are trying to get more sponsors for there. In the team matches we have fun matches and have league play as well. It's a good competition site as well. I've been a member over there for a little over 3 years now.
