Well, its offical. I have pulled my depleted bankroll from this site and I dont think I will be returning anytime soon. I made an intial deposit of $500, they gave me $20 more and I cleared $80 of the bonus, my net total was $600. However, I only got to withdraw $277 for this site.
Over the course of the month playing there I observed several things. While I dont have the hand histories recorded due to my software not being compatable with this site I can only give you what I believe is the truth. My first week started off going 0 for 11 with AA. I have actually lost lots of money with AA, KK and QQ on this site. I realize these hands are vulnerable to huge swings when someone hits a set against you, but I typically can get away from those types of hands, what seemed to be happening to me is someone would play 83 off preflop for a raise and hit the 83, this happened alot. Now I know you want these types of callers in the game because over time you will take all there money, the problem I saw was this. Those hands were not being played by loose players, they were Tight players, they didnt see many flops, they folded to raises most of the time, but every now and again they would play these rag hands and hit and hit big. Now I cant say for certain there was any collusion going on, but the frequency that these hands would hit was well above statistical probablities.
Another interesting fact is I am roughtly 30% to win after the money has gone into the pot against dominated or crippled hands. This week alone I am 1 for 6. Thank god these guys only buy in for $20 or so otherwise I would have lost alot more. Maybe its just a bad series of cards but the suckouts have been going on for a month at this site.
Now this may sound like someone who is just ranting, raving, whining, etc. I just dont think Titan is the place for me. I do believe that you make your own luck and maybe that is what is happening, I feel I am going to get sucked out on by the 2 outer and it happens, who knows. What I do know is I have never been able to make any profit on this site and I have started to question my game because of it. My confidence has decreased due to this site. All of this means its time to go.
I will leave you with this one final assesment. The bonus is really really hard to clear. I played there for one month and multi tabled the whole time and just cleared $80. I can typically clear $150 in a week at other sites and not suffer all those bad beats. Anyways if you decide to play there good luck.
P.S. these were all NL games .50/1 up to 2/4
