They can transfer site to site so I doubt they withdrawing

Cant wait til Durrrr, OMGClayAiken and Ziigmund make an appearance. Hopefully Ivey and Antonius show up too but I doubt it. Would be awesome if Notamia decided to put a mil on here too. All the possibilities are making my mouth water. God I wish I could play on FT.

I'm ready for durrrr vs sauce and kanu
11-06-2012 , 04:41 PM
With the exception of durrr (even though he may very well have played stars) why is there suddenly the expectation there's going to be some sick nosebleed action just because FTP is open?

Which raises an interesting question... will people like Ivey and Antonius, who are no longer site pros, be allowed to create new accounts? I can't imagine they'd be forced to use their existing names?

Because 184 million dollars in funds just got released. Gambling degens will see it as free money. Guy Laliberte can now play higher.

Players involved in the Macau games have a place to play stakes that interest them without having to make trips to the casino on a site run by a reliable company.

Gus and Alex Luneau having a nice battle at 2-7 TD. 1000+ hands, Gus down ~120k..
11-06-2012 , 04:53 PM
Yeah, I don't expect any huge action. The same players played on PS in the past year, and nobody wanted deep 200/400 matches, except a very few of them, but not all the time. Why would they wanna play even higher on FT? Isildur probably could generate action, but he was busto on PS and had no roll to play in the recent month(s). I don't know how much he could have now, but for like 400/800 he would need 1-2 million at least.
Let's hope for the best.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be happening... at least not yet. Perhaps because of timezone differences?

Also Gus, Durrrr, and Isil are being paid to play again and them three do create games/action.

It is pretty crazy with all the build up that there wouldn't have been a huge game running. It'll take a few days though til the winners in the smaller games start taking shots. The money will start climbing stakes and the games will get bigger. Being patient sux.

Full Tilt results are added on HSDB now.

Isildur1
1031 hands
$32,677

He left with a little over 180k, so it seems like he started with 150k.

Most of the players kept playing after black friday, urnotindanger hardly played and dangs moved on allegedly. But aside from that it was more of a bump in the road than anything to them.

Guy never played the $500/1k PLO games on FTP anyway and he hasn't played that much on Stars and when he has his action wasn't at $200/400. Nor do I think Guy would be put off from playing higher on Stars because he had a bit of money stuck on FTP considering he's a billionaire lol.

Macau players could play on Stars, I don't really see the point. There's already a bunch of players with Macau registered accounts on Stars. I'm sure they could spread the word if they wanted their friends to play on the site with them.

Guy did play 500/1k. He lost several million playing railheaven soon after the table was created. http://www.pokertableratings.com/ful...lmariachimacho http://www.pokertableratings.com/ful...Lady+marmelade http://www.pokertableratings.com/ful...earch/patatino

He stopped playing it after losing $10m in a couple of months.

I said PLO. After his railheaven spew off he never played in the highest stakes games again. There's no reason he's suddenly going to jump into $500/1k PLO and play 1.5k/3k limit games etc. I think people are just being fanciful. The nosebleeds were mainly fuelled by frivolous FTP spending. That's gone now.
