Why even say something that you got a "source" why not just wait for the peopel behind the deal to say it?

There was a big debate yesterday about the meaning of "few". Belief was it's depends on whatever the person who wrote it believe it to be.

I agree with slugger but their hasn't been a lot of official communication. This leads to speculation and the apparent "my source" indicates that there is information about the progress but no one is sharing

Guess when it's over we'll find out why everything was so secret. Should be a good read.

That's not how I read that. Sounds like she is just giving more substance to her posting.

She did not give a timeline other than saying "plans for public announcement are in the works" So it would be hard to say she jumped the gun, because who knows how long it could take for them to finalize and roll it out.

Well one of these days they will be right I suppose, if they keep saying the dates they hope they will be right eventually!

Take a chill pill, nothing will be announced till PS or the DOJ whichever is agreed to announce it, announce it.....

Unless someone has a listening device in IOM PS HQ or more specific Isai's house then they know nothing....

Everyone who is freaking out that nothing has come out today, CALM DOWN. It's 12:32 EST. Half of the day left and its the part of the day where an announcement is more likely. They probably have or had some work left to do today. If they don't finish today, I'm sure DF or someone will tell us it'll be a few more days.

From Friday 7/27/12

A very reliable source just told me the Stars/FTP deal is done. If no announcement today, it will happen on Monday. Book it.

Book it is pretty confident.

At least we still have Chinamaniac.

Just like the annoying guy on the basketball court who launches 3 pointers and yells "nothing but net" every time while going 1 for 14. On the one he makes he is sure to point out how he "called it".

These sources (with the exception of DF) are becoming the Leroy Jenkins' of poker news. They run in way too early screaming and overzealous, but in the end ruin it for everyone else and are left explaining themselves by saying "at least I have chicken".

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. Thanks for ruining my monday morning Wendeen

This is getting ridiculous

at least wait until 5 pm EST monday to criticize the person who didn't say a deal would be announced monday (Wendeen. Newell is the only one to say Monday iirc)

The real question is who r these sources. Very suspicious ...

Thats just so stupid.What do you mean its safe to say its all but gone..

They said we may hear something today because of rumours.Now from everything that has happened so far with all this **** its not a suprise that we havnt heard the news but for **** sake they are at least in talks so you will have your money at some stage.No need to throw the toys out of the pram.

It midday in america at the minute and its extremely normal that no one has broken news yet.


Then again if its come 12 o clock tonight and we have heard nothing then you can start complainging again.

The only source of this rumour is from a random woman on twitter and everybody has jumped on them.She could be and more than likely is telling complete and utter lies.

And even if she isnt lying maybe something came up over the weekend.

I know people have huge money on there but complaining on here isnt going to help.We more than likely will get paid at some point

Cant be gaining to much from saying fake stuff - will probably end up being filtered on 2+2.

Has to be a bunch with all the people confirming and denying. You think they might be using the same source, a Guy with a bi-polar disorder ...

For anyone wondering, DOJ issued a " we have no comment" on the question of whether a press release is going to be issued in U.S. v. Pokerstars.

Source- Me picking up the phone and hearing it myself.

I have more than 8400$ staked there for more than a year now this is so annoying. I'm just tired of this situation i lost my bankroll and in addition to this i have a ****ing government in spain which has destroyed the poker in the country.
Nice day

Also called. Confirmed "I have no comment".

Forget about monday. Tuesday will go down in history as:

Its already noon EST. That's 3 more hours then I was willing to give it. Whether or not the deal is done I believe Eolis tossed this monday deadline out there to grab publicity, twitter followers etc. Imo its highly irresponsible to report a "deadline" or "timeframe" to us in this matter considering how we have been jerked around the last 15 months with that kind of crap. Unless someone has the precise date and time of the announcement then I really don't want to hear anymore speculative rumor crap. Maybe I should check the Mayan calendar for a more accurate schedule....

Where is "perceived?" in this chat. Didn't he state yesterday that we will hear something as well? If not, I think a ban is necessary.
