I will apologize for my presentation but not my point.

lol at criticizing him for not posting "solid" information while you post "facts" you made up completely. How do you know what % of people laugh when they hear the source is QJ? Follow your own advice.

Dude stated from the beginning this is something he heard from a source. Not like he guaranteed it. As long as he's being honest about a source telling him this it's whatever.

with my limit informations, i think, it makes alot of sense. the concept of full tilt poker isnt bad at all, its just the management behind it...

Get them a good management, new money and they are able to survive this crisis and come back in old fashion IMO...

The problem with the player contracts is they probably have some form of salary agreement in the contract. It's pretty obvious that players such as Ivey, Patrik, Gus, Dwan made a lot more money being signed to FTP than any other site would have offered them. Those days are gone and someone else may very well make a better offer and then another asset walks out of the picture.

You guys bitch and moan about being left in the dark by FT, then you have people disclosing valuable information they've heard from sources, and you bitch about that.

+TEN ZILLION.

So stop being a bunch of whiny bitches.

anteatereater · 06-30-2011, 04:02 PM

has the "binion being in ireland" story even been definitely confirmed?

EDIT: "Subject: Poker has heard from numerous sources that Jack Binion is in advanced talks with Full Tilt Poker about potentially investing in the poker site."

okay, so it's not that big of a leap ...
