Here is how I solved that problem so that you don't look at your balance when you either sit at a cash game or buy in to a SNG
I edited the file Pattern_Tall.jpg under
C:\...\Full Tilt Poker\Graphics\NewTable\Common\Misc
Make a copy of your old file(in case you change your mind), then make a copy of the image from the link below, make sure you give it the same name "Pattern_Tall.jpg" and save it under C:\...\Full Tilt Poker\Graphics\NewTable\Common\Misc folder
You can edit/remove the numbers on the side in MS paint, I use those to keep track of how many SNG I have going, also for that problem were one table would not open or disappear on me.
