If you want to prove it to yourself and be 100% certain of this, switch to stars for 50,000 hands and see what your results are. As i've said in previous posts I'm 100% stars is straight and got about 110k hands data to prove it. The problem is that you need a sample of hands from a gauranteed legitimate site so you can be sure it's not your play. Poker relieves millions of players of their money everyday, not because they're stupid, but because most players think they are playing better than guys sitting at their table, theres a cruel deception. To know if you're a good player you've got to have stats showing +EV over many hands, it's the ONLY way of knowing. So seeing as you only have stats for FullTIlt, i'd suggest racking up 50,000 hands on stars, then you can be sure to yourself that it is the sites RNG, and not a leak in your game.

Personally I think you have your head screwed on with poker, and i'm not doubting your play for one minute, but YOU can't be sure until you have 2 sets of stats that look very different or very similar, hopefully the former.

Just to throw an idea out there, I profit well playing the medium stakes im grinding at the moment but do find it hard when I play micro-stakes because I find a level of boredom kicks. It doesn't feel like real poker, theres no respect, and I swear this subconsiously makes me play slightly worse as my results in micro are pretty dia, even though the players are worse. This could be a factor.
