As a counterpoint to my prior post and my overriding belief that FTP is "rigged">>>>

I just played (5) play-chip tournaments of HORSE on FRT. I won 3 tournaments and finished 3rd in another. This were both 9 and 18 player tournaments.

I did this due to a friend of mine who is a Ph.D. in math saying that "maybe if I didn't quit playing every time I had a "bad beat", i.e. felt the hand was rigged and kept playing what I claim to be solid experienced shrewed poker I would over the "long term" win more".

Well that is what a mathematician would say fter I repeatedly told him ad nauseum about anecdotal "evidence" of ridiculous and improbable beats. So I took his challenge and played in these tournies (and I must say honestly as a big-time critic of FRT that there were some really good players on these tables. Many of the hands did not involve 3-5 players like in the donk small cash games and tournies. Perhaps these were guys who like me had stopped playing cash but still wanted to see if they could compete online, and find legitimate play. Perhaps it was because I have played 20 years and thus am more familar with all games not just hold 'em than newer players. Maybe I got lucky.
