Not sure if this ties into anything, as it never explicitly mentioned anything about it in the article, but as an individual who had used their services, in retrospect, it definitely seemed like it was rigged. I couldn't have counted the number of times someone's aces were busted by someone with something ridiculous like 3/7 off-suit, who had no business being in the hand. I tried the thing twice, only playing the low-stakes games, and both outings ended quite abruptly, leaving me with nothing in my account.
At this point, I decided to try PokerStars, where I played for a good 8-10 months, ending with a balance more than I had deposited. I hadn't gotten that much better as a player; I had simply not gotten screwed over in situations that should have never come to be.
Also, between April 2007 and April 2011, various owners and directors of Full Tilt collected $444 million dollars from the company for themselves, the government alleges.
So with this statement, it wouldn't surprise me at all if those players with those 3/7 hands were actually bots run by the owners and directors to funnel money into their own accounts. That's just my two cents, anyway.
