Came across this while searching the interent. Can someone please explain what this is? Is this Phil Ivey trying trying to open up some kind of coaching website? Whatever it was it was filed for in NOV of 2011, which is very odd timing on his part.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxaQn...f6FAAAAAAAAAAA daniel's new vlog, it seems he has changed his view about FTP and from "You are NEVER getting ur money bach, it's OVER" now he is like " it seems it might happen, all this is good news"
03-28-2012 , 08:11 AM
Yeah, he definitely backtracks, the good thing is that it sounds like it's coming from his sources who he trusted.

Most interesting part about it is that he claims one of his sources said that U.S. players are getting paid by the World Series of Poker. Whaaa?

Right.

Because the only other news we had a right to expect by now would be that the deal fell through.

For the 18 millionth time, the deal will be done when it's done.

Hi Ya all

Just got back from my travels and saw the excitement over FTP news last night at the news site. Why was everyone getting so carried away with it? I read the twitter and all it said was News on FTP, it did not say anything about Breaking News or Exclusive.

The trouble with us all here is we are so desperate we read into things that are not there. They are a Red Top as they call themselves and if they had something HOT I am sure they would announce it BIG style.

Moving on, as we all have to do looks like no announcement this week agin from GBT.

So was away for 4 days and nothing changed, was hoping for something big to happen and get ready to login and withdraw my money!

It's probably bull**** but I can see some scenarios where this would be a decent option.

Like if: -DOJ doesn't want FTP to repay US players themselves
-DOJ also doesn't like paying players because it makes it look like DOJ was in the wrong
-So we need another organisation, someone trustworthy in the poker world... WSOP would be decently high on that list I guess?



I wouldn't put much trust into DNs sources as 2 weeks ago they believed the deal was dead? This was far from the case. Everything looked darkest around the period when the DOJ called FTP a ponzi scheme, since then it has been looking more and more positive imo.

The thing is that this "players paid by the WSOP" thing is definitely one of those things that seems to out of left field that i'm actually MORE inclined to believe there's some validity to it, because that's how **** works sometimes .

Much earlier in this thread I think there was talk of DOJ appointing a trustee to handle player recovery. Maybe this could be a solution, if WSOP is interested, would not hurt their image or DOJs.

But they know that many of us are worried and are dying to hear real news.
It's like a doctor (with a big smile) telling his terminally ill patient "in a hour I have some news". 1 hour later "tonight for dinner...Chicken!!!!!!".

Can someone find the epic post way back itt that explains how to read this thread.

def best post itt
03-28-2012 , 09:45 AM
Why even bother reading it, basically:

1. FTP shut down and took our manies
2. They might or might not reopen with new owners
3. Nobody knows...

21,000+ posts and this is basically all there is to know

/thread (until 100% full on legitimate, log in and see the money, proof that the deal is done AND they are actually open again)

I kind of agree with Reaper, but so many people have so much money in there dude, it is so important to them anything of hope. Apart from logging into FTP (or trying to) each day news is the only way of finding out if/when it may happen.
03-28-2012 , 09:48 AM
It would be incredible. Force anyone with money being held to travel to the WSOP to claim it in person. " Hey and while you're here, why not get a nice hotel room and play a couple events? Did we mention the player rewards?" Drive thousands of people who otherwise wouldn't be there to degen their money to the casinos that are pushing for legislation while saving millions from the people who don't care enough to claim their bankroll LOL. like dangling the frisbee in front of your dog who's all excited about it, yelling "fetch!" and throwing it across the street onto someone's roof.

I know I was just joking around. I have a bit of money stuck on there (only like 1K but I play small/med stakes so it would def help).

No worries, it is so immotive on here with FTP as you probably know Reaper. I know people who have $100k in there from tourney winnings. They are not rich or professionals, just normal people who got ripped by them.
