Message: [QUOTE="HoldemChamp, post: 333871, member: 2813"] ) The ability to see the hands the other people mucked if they called a bet on the river i think that it isn´t good. Of course it helps you, but also the other players can see what you have when you don´t want them to know it, and that´s bad. Anyway, for fortune that ability only works on play money games. When you play real money games you cannot see what your opponent have if he doesn´t show it. [b]Well, I only have like $4 at so I haven't tried the real money tables yet. Thanks for the info. And, yes, getting to see others hands that they folded on the river with a call is a double edged sword. Thankfully most people aren't even aware of this feature. Or, just don't think that much when they play. Plus, the number of times they get to see my hands at the river, if they even take the time to look at all, is a lot lower then I see theirs. So, statistically it is still an advantage for me. There are several sites that do this in their money games through the hand history feature. Lots of valuable information.[/b] 2) Why does a site must reward play money players? [b]I didn't say that a site must reward play money players. But, it is a nice little perk that shouldn't be over looked. Why? because it brings more fish out. They get some points use it to enter a money tournament and they are more food for the sharks to nibble one. :D[/b] 3) I agree that the payout structure of the public freerolls is poor, but in my opinion it isn´t a poker site obligation to have good freerolls. Freerolls are a favour they do to you, so it´s antiethical to demand good freerolls (of course if you are choosing a site by its freerolls, then FTP is one of the worst). Also remember that FTP is one of the of three or four sites that you can withdraw your freerolls earnings if you didn´t make your first deposit before you played it. If you choose another site for its freerolls payout structure, the money you win at those freerolls isn´t really yours. You have to make a deposit before you play the freeroll if you want to win its money, so if you make a deposit, why will you play a freeroll?...i think not for the money. [b]Again, If a fish has money in his hands he is likely to hit the money tables almost as soon as he gets it. Fish don't know the concepts of a good bankroll. And are just happy to be playing for real money. So, if you widen the field of winners you are increasing the number of fish you get to beat. Which in the long run is a good thing.[/b] 4) As Grumbledook said, FTPs software has very nice graphics and it´s fast.I really like Fulltilts software. It has a great look on it and is fast and stable. It´s easy to use lobby with ability to sort games and put multiple filters on. Good player search facility. Good hand history files. [b]FTP definitely has some good features. I just have issues with the Freeroll payouts and the High Micro limit starting limits for games. Other than that I think it is great site. And when I get a decent bankroll I will start playing there more often.[/b] 5) One other thing i like of FTP is that you can chat with the pros. Almost all of them are very nice and they answer to all the questions they can. You can talk about poker, life, make jokes or anything else with them. I have never caught a pro playing there. I guess I need to get there more often. I wouldn't mind chatting up with one and getting some clue as to how they play. [/QUOTE]
