What's the catch on full tilt's 100 percent deposit bonus?

[bottomset]

full tilt is the site with Padooki or was that Doyle's room, yes I'm too lazy to search

[RikaKazak]

everyone who seriously thinks it's rigged I should get to drop kick in the throat!!

Let me send you a HH of a recent .05/.10 NL session with well-stocked waters, then tell me if it sucks balls. In a particular hand (in which I was not involved), 1 donk was all in pre-flop (A7), another all-in on the flop (AKo on JT8 flop), 2 more in at the turn (2nd pair w/OESD, & 2PTK). 2PTK wins UI.

I reluctantly had to leave my session to eat my dinner, 2.5 buy-ins up.

It's taken you 2 weeks to clear $200 playing the $100 NL 6 max tables 3 hrs/day and you think that's 'not too bad' [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Are you serious? 4 tabling 6 max is maybe 250 hands/hr - you have played 14x3x250 = 10,500 for only $200 bonus - lol that's Party VIP rates

This month at $100 6 max I have cleared:
bet 365 $100 (c. 1000 hands)
empire $100 (c. 1500)
gaming club $100 (c 1000 hands)
william hill ($45) - (c 300 hands - ie 5 table hours))
total bet ($45) (c 300 hands - ie 5 table hours)
ritz club ($45)(c 300 hands - ie 5 table hours)
pokerplex ($50) (500 hands)
littlewoods ($45)(500 hands)

That's only about 5500 hands and just under $600

ie that's about 6 times the speed of the full tilt bonus

$10,000 in rake for the table. $1,000 MGR.

But to answer the original question, the catch is that the site is rigged so that you drop a grand trying to clear a [censored] $300 reload. [censored].

This has been my experience also. FTP is almost certainly rigged. Seriously though, I don't think it's rigged but I've been getting hammered lately trying to clear this bonus. Absolute, never-ending brutal beats on the river. Beware!
