i am a little peeved however. I went to My Parents house this evening, they both play full tilt , only as free players and i have played on their accounts before just to try it out.
This evening however i decided that i did like it and that i didn’t want to ruin thier play chip stacks by adding or subtractiondg to them anymore.

I logged on to thier system and my email account – pulled up full tilt and wentto creat a new account for myself – after i did that i figurred i could play at home or where ever.
Funny thing happened however. I was told after submitting in a nice little white box that i had to validate my account by going to my email and copying a code. Fine I thought, that makes sense.
so I went to my email again and clicked my full tilt validation email and it said I didn’t have a code yet – that I needed to write said address and ask for one.

Ok I thought, must be some type of security thing.
so I wrote and asked and nothing happened. No email came back. I waited quite awhile then gave up and played a few games of solitaire – The parents came home and after visting for awhiel I went home.

I ended up checking back on my email for teh validation code so i could enter it and play on my system. I opened an email from full tilt that stated I was not getting a validation code – My account had been terminated – and it gave a list of two other accounts that had been closed!!! Both my parents accounts have been closed.

I do not know if they were sent the same email I was sent saying that the accounts were all closed. I can’t believe this happened! It’s amazing to me that they closed my parents accounts just because I asked for a validation code.

My dad probably will laugh about it, he really does not care very much about it , but my mom is is going to freak out, she playes every single day! she talks about it all the time! shes going to be so mad – probably at me and the site.

I am so glad no real money was involved but i am jkust sick that they have done this.

I wrote to them pleading but I have little hope that they will restore Mom’s account.
i came in here thinking maybe I convince mom that poker stars is better than full tilt and that she should just switch seeing as how I messed up her account for her.

1.1 i find the hand history better with full til(immediately the graphics instead of text) and games can be found much easier but that’s my opinion).

1.2 on full tilt you can see the opponents losing hand in the hand history even if they chose not to show them. pokerstars gives you that option as well.(i prefer not to show my hand)

2. The players on pokerstars generally seem to be much looser than on fulltillt.

3. FPP vs FTP. getting those points is on both sites equal. (based on micro stakes and low stakes sng’s) but you can do a lot more with them in pokerstars than on full tilt.
FT offers satelites for big tourneys pokerstars offers ‘freerolls’ for FPP with RL cash as payout
pokerstars seems to be more europa friendly with the shop..more items can be delivered to europa

4. a big plus for serious beginners. FREEROLL’S!!!! ALOT MORE on FULLTILT than pokerstars. daily country specific 100$ freeroll, daily 2 150$ freeroll, daily X number of freeroll satelite to 1K garantuee.

pokerstars does offer freerolls, but in my opinion not as many.

5. pokerstars does offer more cash tourneys for the really micro stakes, lowest i’ve seen is a 2 ct’s 990 turbo sng… the lowest on full tilt is a .25 one as satelite.

all in all…full tilt is my favorite pokersite despite the connction issues. it’s the freerolls and the , in my opinion, easier to use interface that does it.

Been playing on both sites for some time now, and I have to say pokerstars is way better. I have never in my life seen so many no-brain players sucking out so many people like I have on fulltilt.

I played at both sites for awhile but now I pretty much play exclusively on FullTilt. I just like it better for some reason. Their online poker academy is really great too. No one has mentioned that. They have tons of videos from famous professional poker players, challenges, even tests. If you score well on the tests you get entered into a monthly freeroll to play for money. When you complete challenges you get academy credits which can be used to enter tournaments, or get poker literature and apparel and whatnot.

Full tilt’s poker uses your system clock and hardware type to determine the hands that are dealt, and this technique is “one percent off” when it comes to hands winning.

That is what we know, who knows what FTP isn’t telling us. If you don’t believe me, read the countless posts on the internet about people being in the profits at other poker sites. Only to be losers at FTP.

You want to go 1 for 4 with pocket aces, play full tilt poker.

Their support is a real “pain in the ass”. I could tell you a story, which you would NOT believe…

Their “security” is a joke… They do not catch cheaters who use prohibited tools like “poker edge”. While with pokerstars I can not even visit such sites in my browser…. I can install and use illegal tools with FTP with no problem.

The FTP client is full of bugs. I sent many bug reports to FTP and never received a reply

Support: They answer with delays and never reply into what you asked but keep sending standard support templates. In case you have a serious problem (like “account closed”) and need their help, you are alone.

Finaly and worse: FT is fullt of bots. You can even run your own bot at FT… nobody cares. Try the same at Pokerstars….
