Besides the good news for the former FTP players, Its a sad thing for poker-online that Poker Stars has finally put his hands on Full Tilt.
It’ll soon become a sort of google of the pokerworld and eventually will kill the joy of playing altogether.
And because of it’s colossal size the change of being a profitable player will be comparable to buying a lottery ticket.
A few years ago you could play a reasonable game on Stars and your odds to win or getting good cards were quite normal.
Nowadays when you open two tables you get cards dealt like 49 and on the other 94 or other software invented combinations. The bigger Poker stars grew the worse the odds became for the individual player and mathematically it all makes sense of course, but if you have to muck 20 hands or more it’s not much fun anymore. More, I suspect that the software isn’t randomly like it was.
Poker stars came with a solution for the enormous amount of unplayable cards, they invented Zoom; a mindnumbing jackpot activity that has not much to do with serious poker.
Just compare your winning streaks of today with that of 2009 and you’ll see that the game of skill has resulted more in a game of change and that the online pokergame eventually will degenerate into a moneygrab (rake) industry.
The plan to take over full tilt will create a poker monster website and will therefore not benefit You as a pokerplayer but only Poker stars itself.

At first it was sort of funny when she started saying shut up. Then she went right back into the cringe zone because she said it too many times. The show is amazing but it is really tough to like that character.
I thought they handled the music store scene really well. With the guy testing out some ridiculous guitar and the annoyed clerk.
