Class Action Complaint Filed Against Full Tilt Poker I read the complaint. It seems well conceived and pretty fact-specific. The facts in the complaint appear to be accurate (based upon what is in the public domain) and show solid understanding of the players and the acts. The law firm behind it holds itself out as a class action boutique firm, and likely the firm is a player who knows what they are doing. One of the main plaintiffs is Todd Terry, a person with solid credentials in the poker world and a former lawyer in the Northeast. Sorry folks. This all looks like a good thing. I hope (and think) that we will get our money back many ... Posted in: Poker Sites	s.l. halper Jul 1st, 2011
Foxwoods big field in the MegaStacks Monday's mega stack was a great structure, a good tournament and a very fair quality of play. If the main event is run anywhere as well it would seem to be a good value for East coasters who aren't playing Borgata. The 240 modified deep stack turbo today was an absolute disaster IMO. The turnout was a tad weak, but the bigger problem was that they removed levels early on that just made it too fast too soon. I played a lot of turbos online and this was much closer to the feel of an online turbo than the typical turbo found at a live event. Otherwise they ran a pretty good event.

early double final table bubbling hand. wwyd on the turn? based on the read bet 20k OTT, fold to the checkraise, check behind most rivers and read river bets based upon sizing. This gets value from the draws and occasional small pairs and scares better tens/overpairs into checking nearly every river. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Apr 14th, 2011
10$ rebuy 1r+1a This is a trivial fold based upon this action for so many reasons. First of which is because I'm an old nit. But the other guy to act is a very close second. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Apr 13th, 2011
Flop the nuts, lead out or slow play??? This is the perfect board to lead. If he has anything you can get a lot of value and if he doesn't have anything he will fold and probably not call a bet even if he improves. And now that I scrolled up, another +1 for Boandero's read and I like Rivv's line. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Apr 11th, 2011
AA early in 100k ftp six max You should 3-bet (even without antes)- you did. You should c-bet the flop with the plan of getting it in- you did. Villain has a PSB on the turn so you should c/f if you can precisely put him on a jack or better and you cannot and should not do that. So you should be b/c the turn and your sizing really should be whatever gets him to call since you are no longer folding once you bet the turn. Mission accomplished with your heavy turn bet and putting him in OTR. Add on top that nobody folds anything in 6-max , either pre- or post-flop, and you beat a large part of his range throughout. So I ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Apr 9th, 2011

Withdrawing on ftp Another month, so I had to send Full Tilt another e-mail, which read as follows: Ok. It is almost a month since your last non-responsive e-mail. I still have yet to receive any payment for the following transaction: Amount: $1000.00 Transfer Reference: 07725542 Bank Account Number: **3447 Date Approved: 31st January As you can see this transaction was approved in JANUARY. I am single and unmarried. Any chance I can get this small transfer placed either in my bank account or my full tilt account before my children are old enough to play on your website' I await your response. And if it ...

88 vs. AJ Just ship it pre-flop. As played, it isn't the best place to stop and go (call pre-flop to automatically shove any flop, if you don't know) since you are never pushing him off anything but ace rag and worse pocket pairs. I might check with the intention of never folding, but what you did was fine. The only way to play this hand wrong was folding. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 29th, 2011
Flopped trips, get re-raised on turn, thoughts? I would call and call most rivers at this level. I think you are being results oriented. If you flat pre-flop (which is fine), hit a flop this hard (and relatively safe) and get action like this, go broke. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 29th, 2011
12bb UTG w A10o in 180m shove or fold? They are turbos. And I'm folding. I like tyson's range too and might even throw a few more pairs and ATs into it. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 29th, 2011
MSNL- ~ 50 left (and deep) in the DEG Hey all. Villain was relatively new to the table. Villain is a random and a novice based on OPR (not necessarily a bad player, just had >50 games on Stars, and mostly Midstakes). I was active, not in a crazy way, but a comfortable one. I am pretty sure most of my opens and c-bets went uncontested while this guy was at the table. In an ordinary tourney IMO this is an easy 3-ball ship on the flop or turn and nothing really to discuss. However, we are more than 55bbs deep in the best structured non-major online tournament against a BB villain who literally can have anything and may not have a ...

FTP premium wire temp suspended NJ- Bank Transfer and Paper Check only. Oh and if you want to trade sob stories I have been waiting for $1000 from Tilt since Dec and a premium bank wire since January. I had a check bounce, three paper checks get credited back to my account and you know the premium bank wire dance. They also refuse to re-credit my account once more in the amount of the wire, OR PROVIDE ANY REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR ANY OF THIS, which is the most unacceptable move of all.

Sick hand 22 left $5 MET 8.5k I'm calling because: Villain took a really weird line/betsizing to have a king; We beat 55 now and kings are rare; Villain can turn a pp/value hood flat into a bluff because you took a line where you never have a king and you shouldn't have a naked 9 in a 3-bet pot too often; and People click buttons in a 5 dollar multi.; Villain is going to have it sometimes but he played it in a way where he shouldn't have it. And I'm cool with no c-bet. I like a delayed c-bet anyway when you have this kind of middling value with a hand where you 3-bet pre- as a bluff. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 27th, 2011
line check w/ set of queens I hate any line that doesn't involve a raise on either the flop or the turn. And IMO you must b/f this river regardless of how you got there. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 24th, 2011
TPTK deepstacked early in MFTOPS #22 facing absurd overshove on turn I played against this guy before. Villain is the type that will play value, draws and worse value almost the same way in this spot. With that info I think it is a trivial, though risky call. With no reads on a random in an mftops I think a fold is perfectly fine. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 20th, 2011
Ummm...bigegypt? This is an ugly hand but I don't really understand what you are trying to accomplish by posting it. A very good player made an aggressive move that didn't work, until it did. Are you trying to shame him or make him feel bad about it' Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 20th, 2011
WWYD MiniFTOPs Main Event Why would you ever bet/fold the flop with these stacks, regardless of your hand or the board' Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 20th, 2011
Is this a good spot to 3bet shove fairly light at a Final Table? I would never, ever do this against anyone competent or perceived as such. But based upon your read, the buy-in and the fact that it is a country-based site I think you can get away with it. Love the screen name, too. EDIT: I also assume that all of the money in a 3 Euro tourney is in the top 3 and that you really don't care about ICM considerations like you would in a decent midstakes tourney.

Scammed on UB/AP by MGLASS63 Just a bit of a heads up: ship_show/mglass63 is still around and harassing people on UB. I copied down the chat and it is in tl;dr territory but I really despise this low-grade scamming stuff and he is a slick talking dude so I figured it was worth posting. He also admits that both accounts are his ...wonder if that interests the people at UB (insert your own ub joke at home).

Withdrawing on ftp My ordeal with Full Tilt continues.... Today's e-mail: To whom it may concern: Another week has passed with no resolution. You also had the temerity to tell me not to get discouraged in your prior e-mail. We are arriving at the 3 MONTH ANNIVERSARY of my initial attempt to withdraw funds from your website. Your company now states that it won't or can't credit my account a mere $1000. With all due respect, I am beyond discouraged by the actions of your company. I am shocked and incensed. Why is this such a complicated issue' Is this money lost' Is the third party processor not responding to ... Posted in: Poker Sites	s.l. halper Mar 7th, 2011
Ghosting scandal! There is obviously more going on than just haters hating, or an "old" story. The "other" site's thread has a lot of Russian players (including Ivan Demidov) going after Max Katz and airing multi-tiered grievances with a few people supporting Katz, his story and his character. At the same time Katz responded to a few of the posts in a way that seems plausible, yet incomplete. Katz showed surprising candor, admitting that he started a ghosting business and advertised it on Russian boards but says it was a thing of the past once he was told by Stars to stop. The people making the accusations ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 7th, 2011
wtf do u do with KK here???? There are a lot of goofballs in a tourney with 59k people. You also have to double up many many times in a tourney with 59k people. Calling has to be correct. Posted in: Bad Beats	s.l. halper Mar 6th, 2011

2nd pair facing a weird and large river lead I hate folding here. But this is such a bizarre spot for him to bluff, and I assume we need him to be bluffing for us to call. I would presume you barrel your monsters, your missed ax, and combo hands. So once this river hits you should have sd value almost 100% of the time. Villain should know bluffing sucks because his line looks "level one bluffy" and he has to shove you off some serious value hands for it to be a good play. You are actually lighter than I would expect if I was in villain's shoes. He also has a lot less hands to bluff with that get to this river. I mean does villain ...

Facing a min 5bet with QQ UTG early in the miniFTOPS#1 I think you played this fine if you want to play it fast and have a read that villain is playing more than AA/KK this way. I flat the 3-bet pre-flop and I'm not folding this flop, but the hand plays so differently because of stacks it is pointless to even speculate the turn or later. Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 6th, 2011
2 spots in the ub 80k sniper Final table against BBOY3110 Hand 1 is purely read based, and it looks to me that you made that read when you called the turn. This river changes nothing (ya ya 2 pair now, but it is so slight that villain is barreling a hand with an ace). You don't have to call turn/call river every time but in this case you KNOW villain and you should expect him to bet the river 125 percent of the time in this scenario. If you fold on this particular river, you burned money by calling the turn. Second hand, whoa, what Gags said. Villain may or may not be nutted when he flats/4-bets but it is a nutted line. Villain is doing it with a ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	s.l. halper Mar 5th, 2011
