whatever.
however, only whatever is not enough ever... that is why i feel the need to expand on my answer- full tilt has been going downhill imo, and some sort of new strategy was needed, player base was non existent compared to stars (though both sites are owned by same company) and that is the 1st issue that needs to be tackled. bringing in recreational players and recreational bots can really solve the no dudes at the tables issue...

Yep. FT has lost a lot of traffic this year, especialy on the cash game tables. Most rooms have problems right now, but FT is hit extremly hard. So they have to do something to stop the rott. If it woks, it can then be adapted by Stars.

IMAO JACKPOT SIT&GOES have big impact of the poker game.PS and FT (especialy FT) can't have big trafic with big loses of the new player on Jackpot sit&goes part of the sites.Most of the newbees dont play on CashGames with stakes >50/100$ and with bankroll of 10000$.That is LOL from my point of view.Lot of new player sit on SPIN and Jackpot tables and lost everything in a second.Not on cash games and HU on higher stakes.Previous i was waiting few seconds on PS on limits 3.5 and 7$ on HU Sit and goes now i waiting 30 sec 4plaayers HU 1min previous max 10-15 sec.Big players on FT sit hours and hours with 50000$ on tables not playing with his comrades waiting for fishes with 50000$????why they dont reduce 1 HU on 2-7 with limit 1000/2000 and dont allow to generate another table if this one is full.then SallyWoo and trueteller siting in 6 tables waiting for fishes?who is the fish FT i think.Then the money.I think they have problem when two sharks goes on nosebleedes tables and one shark take 1milion from another CASHOUT FOR FT IS THE PROBLEM.that shark goes to Vegas or spend the money and that is bigest lost for FT not not GENERATED FEES AND TRAFIC.Than they decide G..T the F...O..T you and your big winings and loses.we earn 10000$ and y cashout 1000000 in a 5h of playing then we dont see y maybe 1month.That is the real true i think

Yep. A lot of players seem to have switched to the spin`n`go format tourneys. Even more action than cash games, and the promise of a big payout somewhere down the line. Tempting for the degens.

They want i supose to get fresh money from new players who will regruited from neebees and then when they grow up they will play on higher stakes on PS.Scout Regrut Center FT than PS.BUT... why they dont show up how they payout and how many players wins SPIN and Jacks with max price.They dont want to reduce speed of losing money for newbees because S an J are no TRANSPARENT they took some additional income of nonTransparent distributing of awords.Supose 100000 games on PS on 1$ generate 1 winer of 3000$ and y use 105000 games for one winer and y have 5000 x 2$ tables winers they will bring aditional aprox 5000$ NOTRANSPARENT FEES.SOOO THAT IS GOOD AND WHEN SALLYWOO CASHOUT 1000000$ NO.LOOOOOLLLZ

Posted by Theapple: so thats another site that goes fish-friendly (good for people like me), but im sure most pros and semi pros wont like it that much though
either way, changes in business world are rarely good for us, so yeah lets give it some time to see how it pans out
Now this can explained by more times in ft , is full of the same fish to me , the best ft , want to learn to swim better , so 'll swim in any water with more tranquility , skill at the table is everything a fish out of water learning survive
Aaand they just become UnibetPoker. There's really no good reason to not be able to choose table of your liking other than they want to make you loosing track about the limit/volume/amount of your playing time-stakes-opponents. It's ridiculous, it's bad, it's not for nobody with a brain. Also getting rid of high stakes and stud games supposed to be excite players?
