Re: Poker stars Full tilt deal, NOT a good thing for poker!

Yup, those days when shoving AA pre was move of honor and would actually be profitable play because it would frequently get called by AJ or 66 - are long gone.

Every day I go to bed I wish that next morning I will wake up and days where you could crush games by just playing Phil Hellmuth's top 10 hands will be back.

Hate those "software invented combinations".

Wat?

IMO having only one online poker site for the entire world would be great if it were run by Pokerstars. Entire player pool in one place seems like a good thing to me. Also, Pokerstars does benefit you as a pokerplayer.

op must think it would have looked a lot better if PS didn't bail out FT and FT went Busto leaving all poker players broke and giving poker a bad name.
