| Well GnomeBank you haven't changed a bit. Maybe one day you will find it within yourself to have a little faith in online poker. |

You do realise that FT make money frmo rake and the portion of tourney buy ins that count as the fee only?
So if you lose $100 in a hand, FT still only wins $3 of it? Do you really think players like Durrrr and Ivey would play for millions on here if something was up with it?
Oh, and poor thread hijack. |

Pocket Kings only have a 58% chance to win preflop. |
And neither one of my opponents had better than a 24% chance to win. But thanks for pointing out the math Stephen Hawkings. |
At least you're not tilting... |

do you know how unlikely it is for you to win while you're ahead every time that you get stacks in ahead in a tournament?
Let's say you get it in as a 80% favorite 4 times (pretty tough to do, not to mention that you'd have to get it in way more than 4 times to win an MTT) - you only have a 41% chance of winning all 4 times. So most of the times you will take a beat like this, especially considering that in the actual situation you're in you won't get it in as an 80% favorite every time and you'll be getting it in waaaaaay more than 4 times. |

Do you realize you can win an MTT without ever getting your chips in against someone who has you covered? |

| I"m not sure how many times you rebought, but for a few dollars you were entertained for 3.5 hours. If this isn't a bright side for you, then why are you playing $1 MTTs? |

Combined they had a 42% chance to beat YOU, but thanks for applying the rude sarcasm Don Rickles. |
