As part of the settlement Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Rafe Furst are inegible to work for Full Tilt Poker in any capacity.

My guess of the Team Full Tilt Pros
is that Durrrr and Gus would be most likely of the Team Full Tilt to be offered a deal. Juanda because of his marketing potential in Asia would be my 3rd choice.

Of the red pros, it would be exclusively international players
Canadians like Greg Mueller, Gavin Smith, Erik Cajelais, Shaun Buchanan etc..
Internatinal players that play a ton online like Soren Kongsgaard, Peter Feldman, Nikki Jedlicka, MonsterDong could be offered deals
Female international players like Svetlana Gromenkova
Marketable Brits like DeWolfe, Praz, Hendon Mob boys, Akenhead
Well known Asian players such as David Chiu, David Pham etc..

Be interesting to hear people's thoughts on who Full Tilt Poker will market come November.

They better keep Artie Cobb on board, he's the ****ing man.

gus, patrick, duh.

Patrick signed a deal elsewhere recently. May or may not be easy to get out of.

Ivey, Dwan, Patrick, Gus most likely will be given deals but not sure about the rest.

I think this is a really interesting question because of the US. For the bigger names like Ivey Stars will likely want lengthy contracts. With US regulation imminent, long contracts would preclude the possibility of these players signing with US companies which could be potentially much more lucrative for them.

Yeah I don't see some of the older Vegas based pros on team full tilt being offered very much unless they wanna get off their ass and go do some marketing.

Really dont think new ownership would pay the kind of money Ivey would demand now that he no longer gets a piece of the profits.

Paying 75% of the players on that list was FTP burning money

Vitaly Lunkin

I would like to see Ivey and Gus get deals, but at the new FTP not pokerstars.

what about Poker Stars signed players that prefer to play on Full tilt like Isildur1 will they now be able to play on Full Tilt and visa versa Full tilt players allowed to play on PS like durrrr Holdem_NL

Why would Ivey not want a deal if offered one? It seems there would be little downsides for him.......(apart from the odd pr measures)

Callisto is a lock pro? The Alien obv.

I doubt that Kongsgaard will, since Full Tilt Poker won't apply for a Danish license, at least not in first place.

I wouldn't be surprised if they started out a pro team from scratch.

What would FTP be without Alan Boston? Who is the rail gonna troll now?!

I don't think Patrik has signed a deal with iGame (an iPoker skinn) but just did this one promotion.

I hope they all stay in the hole they have been in the last 15 month!

I don't want to see any of these faces on FullTilt again especially not Ivey, Lindgren and Matusow!

Except Durrrr or maybe PA, I don't wanna see any of them

whats the point in signing durrr unless he relocates?

Clonie Gowen and Layne Flack.

75% or so of red pros weren't being paid much (if anything) beyond 100% rakeback at the time of Black Friday.

Also, I'm not sure OP knows who Peter Feldman is.

To answer the question, I would expect Stars to handle their FTP sponsorships in much the same way they handle their Stars sponsorships. They will select some of the more famous to be Team Pros, and probably have a Team Online for various countries as well. It will be a much smaller force than FTP ever had.

Don't Akenhead and The Hendon Mob now represent Genting Poker so i think that rules them out

Would like to see Phil Galfond get a deal.

Others deserving or entertaining:
Tom Dwan
Gus Hanson
Michael Mizrahi
Phil Ivey
Brian Hastings
Mike Matusow
Antonio Esfandiari
Phil Laak
Phil Hellmuth
Jamie Gold
