That could be it Billy - last time I emailed FT they still had not had an independent audit of their RNG performed (a pretty simple task if you ask me) - that means even if they are well intended - that's a stretch - they really don't know if the RNG produces the expected results.

As a side note - when most folks want to have you look at your hand stats you have to do it in a FT type of way. As an example:

If I looked at all my pocket KK - I won the hand 70% of the time. HOWEVER - that includes all hands - even those that went uncontested (i.e., no one called). Take those out and then I am down to 60%. Now here is the FT magic. Divide those remaining hands into two stacks (1) hands that I call "Crippling" - i.e., you have 70% to 100% of your stack at risk to (2) all others hands. - God damn - in the first - "crippling" category
KK only wins 30% of the time.

There is no valid reason for the stats to change -hands are hands.

I think I went about 30 straight tourneys where I went out as the favorite at the time all the chips went in - I would have been delighted jsut to win half of those - oh well - off toe a live game today - yes!
