Far more than any other site I play at, when I am all in and ahead, even dominating my opponent, my physical being cringes into a cocoon of ugly human wrangling in anticipation of being terribly, and utterly sucked into the cavern of Full Tilt's deep dark death dungeon.


That pretty well sums up why I don't play there any more. FTP just crucifies my self esteem.

AHAHHAHAA! Brilliantly put! I feel the same EVERY time and usually find it was warranted! :lol:

Hear Hear was the call for the independant audit, not the "clever guy" thing. If I was actually clever, I might win consistently by now. :lol:

Deep dark death dungeon.

That is some fantastic prose, or is it poetry?

In either case, it is well known that, as humans, we're actually pretty bad at estimating probabilities. However, if the intuitions of many start to come into line, it's kind of like an array processor. Array processors are actually very good devices at solving problems.

Here's my favourite suck-out of all, not on FT. The villain flopped a flush. I was too dumb to put him on the flush, so I called, and we ended up all in. I then sucked out a runner-runner boat. Ouch! It actually took me several seconds to realize I wasn't on FT, so I guess some part of my being cringes too.
