TTYLFTP

I've been playing on Full Tilt and yesterday I got in the black for October. That was nice considering I lost $1,200 in about two seconds of live play to begin the month and then lost more online.

I made a withdrawal request of Full Tilt poker and was surprised that it came back declined. I've made about a dozen Full Tilt withdrawals in the past six months. They no longer have phone support so I emailed them to find out what was up. They told me my account was suspended for having multiple accounts.

Some background: About a year ago I made a second Full Tilt account in addition to my original "Highwaytime" account on Full Tilt. The second account was called ElHajjh, and I set it up because I wanted a rakeback account. A rakeback account is where you get a percentage of the house take, or rake, taken by the site by setting up an account through an affiliate of the poker site. But when I tried to withdraw using ElHajjh, they told me I couldn't have multiple accounts. So I withdrew my balance and closed both accounts. Then a month later I set up a new account under "SevenCities." I spoke to Full Tilt staff on the phone who told me that this wasn't going to be a problem since this new account did not coexist with any other existing account of mine. And since then I've made lots of withdrawals from that account.

So today I explained all of this in emails to Full Tilt but to no real avail. They say they will reopen my original Highwaytime account if I want but will not let me play under any other screen name. I told them to just cash me out, so now I'm waiting for them to send my money to EPassporte and considering where to take my business.

I have a rakeback account on UltimateBet, but that site is owned by Absolute Poker and I don't want to go there right now for obvious reasons. I think I'm headed to PokerStars.
