Full Tilt announced that you could no longer play on their site from within the State of Washington back on November 10th of 2010. At that time I put in for a bank transfer for the bulk of my bankroll, at which time I was told processing would take 10-15 business days . . . .
After about 20 business days I inquired to when I might see my funds, and was told "we are experiencing problems with our 3rd party payers, and it is taking longer than 15 business days . . . "
No idea how long, repeated e-mails received the same reply. Days became weeks, weeks have become months, and I got nothing but "rest assured your funds are safe . . . "
On January 5th I received an e-mail from them saying that "the situation is resolved . . ." and that they would now be sending me a check. Ok, at least that is something, but still no check.
Not only no check, but no reply to e-mails, other than "we received your e-mail and a representative will get back to you shortly . . . "
For three days now, that is what I get. They aren't even replying to me.
The internet poker community as a whole should take note of this, and realize that if it can happen to me over a relative small amount of money, it could happen to any of you over thousands of dollars.
One of the main excuses our government gives to justify prohibitions on internet poker is that companies could default on our money, and it seems to me that Full Tilt is doing it's best to prove them right. There is no action I can take, other than post this info on the forums to make everyone aware that Full Tilt dissolving and making off with your money is a very real possibility, in fact a probability that at some point they will be forced from the US market altogether and will go away with YOUR MONEY! Everyone with money on account with Full Tilt should be concerned with this situation.
It is worth noting that when Pokerstars took similar action, there was no problem getting my money at all.
I'm pretty bad at poker but I'm trying to learn, and it's difficult when you don't have the capital to start a serious bankroll. This causes me to play scared, which makes the situation even worse. This is what my month of january looks like:
In both graphs I start running pretty good but then start to do worse. It's not tilt, I'm not actually angry at being sucked out, its just the stress of the game weighing down on me.
I know poker is about swings but I don't know if I can withstand much more of this thrill of running $25 up to $100 in two days followed by a complete bust within 20 hours. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this is all.
OK, last 2 days were rough! I dropped approximately 7K in profit those 2 days...which brings me to -2K for the year...ev should be at +1K...got 150K vpps so far, so that's 15K from rakeback so total profit at +13K. Should be at +21K but i expect it to be there once I catch up.
Ummmmmmm by the end of today I'd like to be only 40K behind pace, which is catching up real quick since 2 days ago I was 70K behind pace

I'm fairly new to the world of online poker so naturally I suck balls. I'm currently 4 tabling 6-max 5 NL and if I ever actually start winning maybe I'll add more tables.
What better way to start off a new blog than by showing my five biggest losses for tonight? If anyone has any constructive criticism I'd love to hear it.

OK! Finally got going today after some technical difficulties and we're up and streaming again. VPP count is 136K...pace is 200K...sooo we're behind but I am actually catching back up since yesterday haha.
Ket-ledgend home games, Edzwoo degeneracy , kairos pwning my old FR games; part of me wishes I could be back in the action. I could turn this laptop onto the google turpike and be in pokerstars in 2 minutes.
But I've made promises.
I'm just an automation trainee now.
Doing well but not playing nearly enough hands :/. This could all definitely be variance. The start of the month is NL10 and then NL25. Playing 23/20 at 25 and 26/23 at NL10.
Feel like I've gotten unlucky in showdown pots but also bluffing into the nuts on occasion. Also been a little bit autopiloty from time to time.
Day 19 Commences mother f'ers!by Pokerpoopy, January 19
Yo! Day 19 here. Don't feel like writing much, you can always proceed to my real blog here to check things out. Ummmmm quick prop bet update I got 11K vpps in 2 days when I should be at 26K so not good so far.
Gonna do some marathon sessions soon to pick it up. Gotta get my grind on- if you guys don't know I'm live at prop bet uno!
Not sure if i posted it or not. That's it!
