FTP Fix The Deep Tables Thread - Page 5 - Internet Poker

[QUOTE=LucidDream;10308314]im sure u would be the one complaining if deepstack tbls were put on top and 100bb tbls were put below the cap games.QUOTE]

Actually if were up to me EVERY table would be deep stacked with antes and an option straddle, and that would be the only option.

It just annoys me how online poker has become only about taking the fishes money. It seems like all of the fun has been lost and its just a mad dash to see who can get the money the fastest before the pond dries up.

I had no trouble getting deep games running today, but I hate the lobby

if you must look at things this way, at least acknowledge that deep tables are WAY more fun than normal tables. playing with ratholers =/= fun.

Exactly.

i think FTP should make it so you have to email support to be verified in order to play on full ring deep tables

The point is that the fish didnt know the difference they just jump on open tables at the top of the list. This means more deep tables get started with a mix of regs, fish, regfishes and everything in between the only notable absence being rat-holing shortstackers.

Abbreviated cross-post from the 28/4 Answers Thread:

I will personally play today to lock in my ironman status for next month, before taking a break from FT until this is fixed. I have enough medals to pay for several months of ironman renewal to maintain my status if needs be, but I pray it doesn't take you that long to roll this monstrosity back.

I have played solely at FT for about 14 months. I really don't like the Stars software (cue flames).

Is there anywhere else that has deep-stack NL tables with even moderate levels of traffic? (Bodog?)

This isn't about fish, necessarily, joining the deep stack tables.

This is all about keeping the 20BB ratholers out of the game. If you can't see that, I'm sorry.

No, it's both. During my normal play time last night, there were zero NL 100 deepstack tables running. Zero. None. Zilch. Nada. Normally, I have my pick of about 10. But because they aren't showing up at the top of the list, they don't get started often and don't survive when they do. The ratholers are part of the issue, and the fish are another part. If you can't see that, I'm sorry.

Guys, e-mail (or keep e-mailing) FTP support stating that you want deep tables back in the same mix as non-deep tables, and that you'll play somewhere else until this is done (if that is true).

I agree with this thread, though I REALLY wish FTP would implement a 40BB minimum on all tables. I wish all the force/venom of this thread could be channeled toward that goal.....

Sent the following to FTP, feedback@fulltiltpoker.com, feel free to copy paste:

Hello,

I would really appreciate it if you could put the deep tables back next to the regular tables in the lobby.
With the way they are placed now it is very hard to get tables going.

Thank you.

Regards,
