Online poker players who have suffered on Full Tilt beyond any reasonable definition of variance scoff at the notion they're just bad poker players or whiners. They recognize most of those 'critics' derive substantial income from associations, affiliate and otherwise, with Full Tilt Poker.
There's nothing wrong with affiliate income from poker websites (if the site is fair and honest) but such an association should be disclosed by anyone railing against those who question Full Tilt's fairness.
If you dig a little deeper into the people who leave hateful comments about Full Tilt critics on the poker forums and blogs, you often discover the pro-Full Tilt person actually makes his living shilling for Full Tilt. In other words, their opinions are worthless.
I'll be covering more about this topic in the weeks ahead but I thought it would be interesting to see how some top poker pros do when they play Sit and Gos and tournaments on Full Tilt.
Let's look at four of the best poker players in the world, Tom Dwan (durrrr), Howard Lederer, Mike Matusow and Phil Ivey. Dwan and Ivey concentrate on nose bleed cash games but they have played SNGs and tournaments on Full Tilt. Lederer has played the fewest scheduled events, 9; Matusow, the most, 1,776.
This chart is a live screen shot of the Sharkscope poker ratings website. It does not list their cash game results, only SNGs and tournaments. These are some of the best poker players in the world yet their Full Tilt stats are appallingly bad.
If these guys consistently lose on Full Tilt do you really think you have much chance of turning a profit by playing scheduled events there?

Totaly agree, nothing wrong with poker or betting affiliation as long as you state the fact.
