Conclusive evidence that FTP is rigged

We all hear the stories, but I think this one puts the icing on the cake.

Both of these hands happened at the same table, back to back:

[DopamineRelease]

[A10Chief]

Damn you beat me to it.

[MusashiStyle]

yo man you saying this site is rigged but all i see is u getting owned by a better hand and putting your money in as a loser. get your mind right.

[CPHoya]

Sorry . . . so on one you got cracked in a manner that wasn't especially unlikely after you made a clumsy fancy play, and the other is kind of a cooler (very charitable interpretation), and both are for the price of an iTunes CD?

Edit: It's not even close to a real cooler, to be clear.

Yeah, yeah. This was played horribly by my part. You figure you need to draw them in when you flop top set, but I guess this is what you get.

Edit: On a side note? WTF is he doing calling with 98s?
