    I won my only rail call, and it's neat to log in and watch. So I voted yes.

    Anyone that believes railcalls are bad luck should really re-evaluate why they play poker.

    Yes. I have a lot of friends on FTR, I want to know when they're deep in a tournament. I think it's dumb to post a thread when you're 3rd in chips at 25/50 blinds in a 180-man but if you make the final table of a big tournament then post it.

    I don't believe in rail thread curses, magic, voodoo, witchcraft, alchemy, astrology, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, palm reading, or feng shui.

    online poker may be rigged, doom swiches may work and the tooth fairy may exist, but curses don't. I like keeping up with FTR'ers and their big tourney successes.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    I argue that without a rail thread everyone would have busted out much worse than they actually finished, and thus, Railthreads are lucky and +EV!!!

    YAAAY!
