Indeed, but even though there is a difference theres is still the RNG problem. 888 has this as well. Still, I always do better on FT(Like right now as I speak) as there is less of it and slightly less fish and donk players.
Edit:
Oh no I take that back it is just as crappy as PS. First decent starting hand in days(KK) and the 6 times my chips leader on the table had to get an AA. Standard as every time I get KK someones got AA. Waste of 2 hours and at the bubble of all things just missing the money by myself getting sent out. Standard action hands.

I didnt go all in either I raised 3x the BB first to scare off the fish high stack callers and the leader called(as he has been doing all table) so went all in just in case on the flop and he turns over the aces. Just find it weird it happens right on the bubble and after I had been playing tight all the time. Oh well maybe tomorrow.

Anyone know of a way to stop the fishes fishing? I lost 10k chips(from my 11k) ten minutes ago when I got AA pre flop and raised 5x the BB to keep them away but they call as usual and the flop sets them up for a straight which they fish for and hit as usual. Just starting to grind my gears as I try and play right and want to enjoy it but it never works out.
Short stacked with 1k left now against these guys who call anything so I won't last much longer.

I guess we just have to get used to it and just raise a lot more if straight and flush draws are there. I had a night off playing poker last night so hopefully the one in 30 minutes goes well since the beats are away at the back of my mind. See you guys there.

Wow,.....I'm playing in one right now with the BIGGEST amount of entrants to date.....
1300 entrants even,.....with 126 places payed... They're starting to get a little more popular,....but even with all the facebook freerollers entering,.....the bingo hasn't really gotten out of hand...
...a little off the start,...but nothing major,..... yet...

I finally made it to the final table and managed to come 5th. Not many bingo and fish as usual which was nice. I am frustrated I lost a million chip pot. Someone limped in with KJ and I had K8 suited. You can guess what happened.
Hopefully I can make some profit on the tables with my $1.55 and see what happens. Just wish I never called that pot now but with the other person limping I didnt expect him to have higher.

Congratz on reaching the final table!!!
Pretty hard to hit a flush though my friend,....I don't know if I'd have played that... I'd have more readily played the KJ over the K8 suited......
So I'm in the 2nd last one of the day and down to about 33 folks left on the table when some Croat decided to start bad-mouthing me... So I bad-mouthes him right back and some Ukrainian decides to jump in with him and bad mouth me too...lol...
Then I said that I don't see them on the leaderboard and repeatedly asked the 2 of them where they got the password from and neither would answer... I then told them they were nothing but a couple of facebook freerolling parasites playing in a game they had no business being in.... Make a deposit and go play somewhere else....

I was the BB so I was in the pot once the flop came down. Just dont expect people to limp like that with those cards on a final table. Hopefully this win brings me into the leaderboard. Just had someone limp in on a cash table with QQ. Some people lol.
Surely there is a way to stop these people getting a free freeroll for nothing, which would limit the donks and of course the high number of entrants.

Starting to get fed up with high stacked players always calling your big raises in tournaments when you are much lower stacked and also calling all ins after the flop with much lower cards and always hitting the card they need on the river.
12k chips to his 40k and I get AK so raise BB from 800 to 2500, he calls of course and flop comes A35. So I go all in as there is a flush draw on the board. He calls and his cards show a6 suited. Of course he hits a 6 on the river. The amount of times large stacked players hit with lower rubbish to knock players out is starting to wind me up now. I try and play properly but always lose out to these as the sites 100% real RGN deem it so.
Made the money but its still not the point as I should have doubled up there.

I'd be willing to bet the guy was a Russian....
I know exactly where you are coming from dude.... I've been knocked out of the first 3 of the 5 tourneys so far today,..... ALL 3 times getting knocked out by some tool playing garbage against my GREAT cards....
VERY Frustrating....
..BUT,.... I'm in the 4th right now and killing it.... Some A-Hole just reraised my AAall in with his 2,000 chips, but all he had was a 6 in the poket and a 6 on the flop....for a 66

Yeah I saw that you got knocked out the same torny as me yesterday early. I think it was a Russian or a similar type of country(As they all play the same)
I don't like saying the word rigged as it cannot be, but the amount of times I see a short stack push or raise big with big cards and the big stacked who called wins with a lucky card is quite a lot. Then again I have had a few lucky times myself so I guess it evens itself out.
On a positive note, I finally made it onto the leaderboard just making 200th place. Not bad after a few weeks. Just a shame I could not win that final table the other day.

Sale Interovac is absolutely running away with the thing with over 25.00 points,....10 more than the next guy down...
$1.10 game earlier today:
Here's your prototypical Vladimir Poo-Tin idiot Russian playing through a hand he had NO business being in once the flop came down,... Then he destroys my stack,...which was nearly double starting amount...
it didn't seem he had much, so I kept trying to push him off the pot...and he DIDN'T have anything until the river....
You can pull all the arms and legs off these morons,...then stomp on them like cockroaches,....and they STILL keep coming at you......
