genuine question so will give genuine answer

FT have not "banned" ss they have given bigger buyin table option to those players who dont want to play them. there will still be tables where you can short pull 20bbs

FT have such a large market share and so many customers they dont have the problems with liquidity that most other sites have and they can do this without too much effect. only *s and FT could take this step without effecting their overall market share/profits

dont forget there werent many professional ss players on FT because ss players earn their living mainly with cakeback. with FTs strict cakeback being very low and *s stance on cake the big ss players dont play there so the only ss players on those 2 sites are recreational ss players not massive cakers.

A good ss player breaks even and cakes say 10k a month. if he has a good cakeback deal one one of the european networks or sites he earns a decent living with no pressure. you couldnt already do that on FT or *s though so them "banning" ss players is just a standard stunt to please the players who dont bother to research or know anything.

most people are raving about the new format of poker ft have come up with without doing any research into the effects and the change in game dynamics- how many from here have fallen for the marketing of them and just sat in without doing any analysis of the best way to make money from these games???? oooh u can play 200 hands per hour great- if i play ss and multitable i can play 1000 hands in an hour. whats the difference please?
