FTP down the drain...

I played poker for the first time in months this weekend, and visited both the pokerstars and FTP sites to see if they even still existed.

I had a few doll in FTP, less than $30 IIRC, but enough to play some sngs for a bit of fun...but the software wouldn't load.

So I tried pokerstars...same problem. Turns out I needed to re-install the stars software, so did that and deposited 50 doll, and bust it all on a half dozen MTTS, including twice busting when my pockets AAs vs KKs got cracked on the flop by a dirty K, after getting em in pre.

Anyway, today it surprised me to see that FTP was actually some kind of 'ponzi scheme'.

Read this, an interesting article on the thing:
