When playing ring game, I select the Auto blind button. When i decide to leave the table, I just used to uncheck it after my BB and continue to play for one round to see "free" pre flop hand, playing them ultra tight. I mean, I want to leave but I don t want to miss a free AA KK etc...

Playing on Full tilt and doing this, I found out ( and I may be paranoid here as I am not normally into this internet fixed winner conspiracy ) that i always get during this last round a big poket pair or AK or AQs that I "have to call", follow a perfect flop, odds on my side and stuff but ultimately finish but loosing the hand, most of the time with a big bad beat and a nice size pot.

First time it happened to me, I actually decided to stay longer at the table... well done Full tilt, you had what you aimed for... Now, I just decided to stop playing ring games at Fulltilt.

I am not saying this is what is happening and this was done in purpose but that would make sense right? You see a player is ready to leave, you frustrate him with a couple of hands, the player stays, possibly goes on tilt and blow up some money he wouldn t have put in the game.

I actually noticed as well on HU on Full tilt that once in a while you get teased a lot with big hands and big flops for the ultimate bad beat ( I am not saying, I am just saying... ). This is comment is based on situation I do not find in other poker sites.

Anybody noticed this on full tilt? Never happened to me on pokerstars.

i saw this in a live game recently too. the hand goes like this...

Blinds: 1/2

UTG raises to 8 (this guy is up $600 and racking his chips to go cash out...)
folded to Button who reraises to 40 (only has 120 left behind)
UTG calls 40

UTG has AA and Button has 67 suited

flop K 10 7 rainbow
UTG checks
Button checks

turn 2
UTG checks
Button bets 40
UTG calls

River 6
UTG checks
Button all-in
UTG calls

Is that a suckout? yes. Does he deserve it? YES!

You shouldn't play hands when you are focused on something else. The player UTG should have reraised preflop if he wants to protect his money instead of playing it weak, or maybe bet the flop, or maybe even raise the turn. The point is you cant play poker distracted or thinking about how much you made today. You will make mistakes and they will cost you.

I have lost big pots on my last orbit a number of times on Full Tilt, Pokerstars, Carbon, UB, Bodog, etc. It doesn't have anything to do with the site just bad luck and lack of concentration.

V...I don't like your answer. I like the post by akamma better. I've experienced his experience on PS.

So, there.

Well V, Sorry you ve got your AA cracked ( just kidding ) . I think you didn t really read the post... I didn t say I was doing bad plays, I don t think i am more focus on one site then an other unless the fancy female avatars of fultilt make me loose my cool .

Bassor, I feel your pain I m not alone then...

Then did you guys get better solution,
you want to suggest for the people if they experience the same.
Thank you guys for sharing.
let you know if i found such kinda experience.

If there is such thing, the best way to do it is to just keep auto blind selected and when you are UTG, after you fold, just leave the table, that s all.

After I've unselected auto-blind, usually when I'm on the button of my last orbit, I've resolved to not play anything short of a top 10 hand. Never turn down an opportunity to collect somebody elses chips.

Thank you Akamma for replying me and for your suggestion.

You guys are not serious with this thread right? Your saying its rigged?! LOL here we go again with the "online poker is rigged" post.

I think you misunderstood, we're not saying it's rigged (ok, some retards do, but most of us only say it jokingly). This is more a question of mindset imo, do you play less concentrated when you know you'll be gone soon or w/e.
