ridiculously lame if true

1. I talked to Mori yesterday and he told me Full Tilt players are invited to play and he was disappointed that Full tilt is not letting them because pokerstars is sponsoring the show. Mori never takes sides with any site. He just wants to produce the best show.

2. I'm not sure if Full tilt has any issue with graphics control and I just texted Mori to find out if there were any particular issues besides the sponsorship. (Mori hasn't responded because he doesn't keep poker player hours anymore.) I don't believe that pokerstars would stoop to putting their logos on full tilt pros.

In summary, OP has his facts wrong but I will try to get more details tomorrow night if I remember after day 2 bellagio.

P.S. Sometimes these things change at the last minute. There were issues last season also where we didn't know who was going to play. We all know it's better TV if everyone is invited and allowed to play.

damn if barryg1 confirms its def true! (no level)
hsp without Eli,Dwan,Ivey,or Antonious....gah this next season will be a nit fest!! We won't have Mike the Mouth instead we'll have to listen to Kid Poker, ic pokerstars grand plot to make the field sooo soft their boy danny can actually have a winning session.

Nice.

Do you know who is going to be at your table yet Barry?

thats ridiculous if its true

oh shieeeet , barry confirmed can't be !

Every cloud...

I will boycot the site that ends up looking like the responsible for this if it happens. And I'll advice my fish pool friends to stay the **** away from them.

Wow, this is very true though. No Matusow is awesome. It could probably outweigh not having Antonius or Eli there if both were to play the full show, but I'll take Mike to get Ivey, Daw, Antonius and Eli. We can always hope he busts, tilt reloads, busts again, starts crying and calls Ted Forrest saying he did it again.

Barry actually didnt confirm OP's main point.

OP said that the reason for FTP not sending their pros is that PS would digitally edit FTP's logos out. So far Barry only confirmed that FTP probably wont send them because of PS's sponsorship of the show.

EDIT: I doubt PS would do that. AFAIK I think FTP is to blame. Anyway stupid moves. Lose-Lose situation.

So basicly they said hey lets just have the show but lose money playing it or hey lets just have the show but lose like 3/4 of our ratings or hey lets just have the show for no reason at all...

Yea i used to watch HSP but i think im just going to not watch it until they stop being dicks cuz no one likes dicks. I mean no one.

Omfg thumbs up if you think Nejad is just a boring say exactly what we already know is happening commentator... Cuzzz that guy is really bad and boring at commentating..

It's not just PS stars. Doyle's room players have always been on there as well. And hopefully we'll still get Laak and Esfandiari on the show as well. And don't forget those unsponsored businessmen.

HSP took a turn for the worse last season, this would be very difficult to overcome.

Disappointing, High Stakes has for a long time been my favorite poker show but after hearing this and reading the lineups for the next run of poker after dark I doubt it will still be on top.
