Even fishies get lucky

Playing $1+.25 9-player turbo SnG on Full Tilt. Chip leader after about a dozen hands smells fishy.

I pull him up on sharkscope: -37% ROI over 1500 hands... fish jumping in the bowl.

I go back to my tourney and he catches trips on 4 hands in a row against me... I'm out.

Grrrrrr...... even though they are fish, they can still win the donkaments.

there are a LOT of fish out there, statistically you should be beaten occasionally by fish, By personally playing right your own stats should win out in the long run (or most likely even the short run)

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't my last $1.25 on FullTilt... back to the FRW grind...

$1.25 Tournaments on FT are horrible imo.

I have to agree with above.

FT's tourney structures aren't that great, especially compared to what else is out there.

I just switched over to Pokerstars, and am showing a profit in STT. The dollar games are all I play right now, but the 10 minute blinds and the pretty weak play at these levels give me a much greater advantage.

Compair that with FT's dollar tourneys which are turbos and have blinds at 3 minutes, not much room for good play - definitely more luck involved.
