Who is this FT Pro? He sucks...

NCfoldem · May 1, 2010

A good poker player looks back at the hands he has sucked out on and makes the correct adjustments.

-Phil Ivey27 · May 1, 2010

No adjustments neccesary.

sucking out= reward for perfect play.

^^everyone knows that.

I've never seen an Italian with a full beard before. All the ones I see are all smooth and supple until the chest.

Yeah but 3-betting OOP and Running 100% VPIP 100% PFR and 100% AgF?

I didn't say it was a SMART play..just trying to make sense of it.

postflopper · May 1, 2010

only reason why red pros on full tilt actually plays FTP tourneys or micro/low stakes is because they have requirements to fulfill as stipulated in their contracts with FT. basically, they have to spend a X amount of hours at these stakes or tourneys every month.

malice777 · May 1, 2010

Maybe it just proves that its rigged

NCfoldem · May 1, 2010

You're right .. those pros seem to "mail it in" just to fulfill their obligations. Bastards!

I actually fully checked out the Full Tilt Poker website.. and they have separate lists for "Full Tilt Pros" and "Friends of Full Tilt".... the "friends" aren't FT pros, but still have their names in red.

Some of their friends include: Gabriella Hill, Mario Adinolfi, Don Cheadle, Mekhi Phifer, 2007 wsop Champ Jerry Yang (I guess he doesn't consider himself a pro), Gaming Champion "Fatal1ty," and UFC fighters Matt Hughes and Mike Swick.

I also saw Randy Couture's name actually turn red right before a charity tournament that he was putting on in the lobby. But he's not listed on the site.

Looks to me he had won everybody else's marbles, so from his POV he wasn't about to lose his marbles!

DennisC98 · May 4, 2010

FullTilt pro's can be donks too you know calling those kind of hands and nice hand by the way.

but didn't you make a mistake yourself? One of your opponents had pocket J's - let me check my chart here ... hold on .... yep! Jacks are much higher than sixes. You either failed to read MP's commitment to his hand (after all he did call), or you were just assuming no one could be better than a pair of lofty sixes ... sorry to be the devil's advocate. Did you apologize to the J's guy for sucking out?

No apologies were made. I made the shove because I would race with that "FT Fiend" with any pair knowing he would call a shove. When my shove got called by the player between the two of us I already knew I was behind. But someone playing 100/100/100 I'll gladly shove into with low/mid/high PP knowing I'm getting a call and most of the time my weak pair is better than their calling range.

Randy Couture is also a red pro over at Full Tilt.. but he puts on a lot of charity events for soldiers at Full Tilt.. maybe that's why he's a red pro.

Haha.. I thought so.

Sean Pilgrim · May 5, 2010

Just a 600 FTP Satty to the $22 Double Deuce... I just thought pros were supposed to play to the best of their ability regardless if they are playing FTP Satty's, Low Buy-In Tourneys, or The Nosebleed tourneys... just expected much more out of him.

Mortis · May 22, 2010

Hey Sean, your buddy Mario is in the Round 1 Freeroll right now, lol.

Oops.. forgot to respond to this one, haha.. I remember that tournament, I was in it as well, but didn't finish very high. I think I landed somewhere in the middle of the tournament. I railed you after I lost.. very nice win!

Don't full tilt have slightly higher standards for their red pros?

It doesn't seem like it. I've seen some red pros playing bad. I saw one in a 2.25 SNG and he clearly had no concept of how to play SnG's. Presumably he was good at cash games and was just trying out a turbo SnG for fun. Still though, he was really bad...

I'd like to think he was just messing around at stakes that were meaningless to him.

Henreiman · May 22, 2010

Just seems like the FT version of Pstar's athlete/famous people team (ie Becker, Herscheiser <- wrong spelling probably). Except a lot worse at poker and at life

I'd have to disagree with this. I've seen quite a few who never play micros. Just cuz this guy's name's in red... doesn't necessarily mean he's rolled to play high limits. Also, different deals for different 'red' players (obviously). I'm not sure what the contracts are... have heard quite a few different thoughts on it though.

40bb shove-a-ment w 66 to someone who's 3bet?

Suited Frenzy · Jun 19, 2010

All I have to say is...

LOL @ the thread title & I don't know. Never heard of him.

PoKeRFoRNiA · Jun 21, 2010

Dude, Just because their names are in red don't mean they're at professional level. I've played against Steve Wong. Steve Wong can't even grind 2NL and 5NL. Steve is horrible. Go check him out. Only reason why he's playing there is because full tilt pros get 100% rakeback and $35/hour just for playing. Nothing else. Calls my 4-bet all-in with pocket Jacks against my Aces pre-flop 100 big blinds and rivers a Jack. I 4-bet with Queens pre-flop and idiot 5-bets all-in pre-flop with Ace-rag and flops an Ace. Gets me frustrated to the point where I started to think if full tilt is rigged towards the pros.

Who is this FT Pro? He sucks...
