I just switched from FTP to PS today. It did appear to be less ridiculous. I only increased my bankroll by %1.75 today, but I guess it's progress :P
This is my screenshot from when I gave up on FTP and decided to play like the rest of the donks. It seemed to work, but it's not my style.

It definitely sucks when you make a great read and someone hits their long-shot to take you out. We've all been there and it's painful. In fact, the deeper you go in a tournament, the more it hurts!
I know it's easy to feel like a certain site is rigged. This has happened to us all on every site, and it happens live every day as well. Just the other day I was three-outed twice in a row at the Venetian. Jennifer Harman was one-outed in the video I posted a couple of days ago. This is just standard poker vaiance, and it happens.
If you guys want to look up any of the top MTT players on Official Poker Rankings, you'll see that their stats are nearly identical between these two sites. Find any player with more than 1,000 or so games on each site and it will be fairly obvious. Neither site is rigged folks. And your screen names aren't rigged either.
Oh I agree Scott, there i no rhyme or reason other then "it's poker"... More then anything, to me it's the change of "venue"; i.e. getting out of the "i'm doomed no matter what" mindset that FT has given me. However now there is other reasons why I am going to stick with PS, and that is Customer Service.
If you recall I had an issue w/them closing up my active account do to a old account I had used sometime ago. To get this resolved, it took over a week via email which was mainly caused by 3 days to respond to each message. This was not the only time I had issues w/them responding, so it wasn't isolated.
I just ran into this exact same scenerio on PS after I won the 11k, yet it was resolved in a day. Cashing out hasn't been as big of a deal either, though I have to do it in chunks. Each chunk has taken 1 day to receive my money...
