Full Tilt - I'm a big fan...

Jordan was at the 25/50 NL table (Pirates Cove) with the pros - held his own with his original 5K for awhile, but ended up flaming out with a flush draw against trips. I hear he's there late nights quite often.

Does Jordan have his own avatar? Does his name show up in red like the other pros?

what is MJ's screen name? Michael Jordan?

I had been on Full Tilt for a while and also really enjoy it. They have "Bust the Pros" type tourneys every now and then. The structure of their SNG's is pretty decent too.

Also, for some of their prize-package tourneys, there is a decent overlay.

Not as many fish though like on Party. Also a $150 bonus took me about a month to clear, but I'm not playing 1000 hands per day.

Badblood...FTP instituted any tourney (not sng) that if you bust a pro you get your buy in back. I think Ferguson is double.

Actually they only do the double bounty thing in some of the tournaments. It's not always like that.

It seems to me that they're doing things the right way at Full Tilt. They seem like they genuinely are trying to make the best site out there. Party has all the fish, but their interface and functionality are not good at all. And I'd look for Poker Tracker integration soon as well. With some of the people that work there, it's hard to imagine that it's not at least in the works.

I just had an interesting morning here. Lost most of $20 on O8 (still learning), then got into a NL table, and got clobbered when someone reraised me with...a J high flush and inside straight draw.

I sat out an orbit, collected my thoughts and rebought, and managed to get it back when my flopped set of queens beat a flopped set of 2s.

And then the kicker: 94o BB, limped to the flop, and found...94x.

Bet the pot, got one caller. Turn brought a dodgy straight possibility, bet the pot and was smooth-called again. Then the river...a 4. Bet about the pot (over $100), called again, and turned over... K9s.

$326 pot, most I've ever scooped in one go.
