It's weird, he's team pro and he's actually higher on the billing than Vicky Coren or Liv Boeree: http://www.pokerstars.com/team-pokerstars/uk-ireland/

and yet they made a much bigger fanfare about signing Ike. I always kind of assumed Team Pro was more important than Team Online?

I don't know him personally but I do know people that know him well and they don't have a bad word to say about him. A great signing for Stars, he is a top player that will represent them well. Congrats Jake

never spoke to the guy, played with him live a bunch though. Seems like a ****ing boss and a very cool guy. Happy to see stars sign someone from my small corner of the world and someone who isn't a total jackass for once. He seems to be a real good ambassador for the game which I think is strongly needed for poker right now. Would be cool if they stuck him on the tv once in awhile rather than the same 3 faces I see everytime I turn on channel 4. Gl bro, REPRESENT!!!!!

Played with him before, he's very mellow, humble, and very nice. Really happy that he was signed by PokerStars, seems like a great signing for both parties.

but if you don't last, you'll finish first and come last. Yet, you still wouldn't be the first, and wont be the last.

Does anyone know how much he'd get paid for being on team pro roughly? Just wondering how beneficial it is! Plus he'll now get all his tournament entries too

Wat?

I was simply stating that the reason the guy posted a pic of a US flag was because he was wearing that hoody, the other guy said 'He's English' or w/e, obviously didn't see the hoody...
