I cannot believe there will be many deals. Maybe local country deals at a small level to attract local players, but that's about it.

Stars/FTP will have close to a monopoly on ROW as soon as they relaunch, however once US regulates ipoker they will have competition from the Ceasar's of the world. I personally look forward to the days when we can play FTOPS, WCOOP, SCOOP, and OWSOP....

come on already...

"My guess of the Team Full Tilt Pros
is that Durrrr and Gus would be most likely of the Team Full Tilt to be offered a deal. Juanda because of his marketing potential in Asia would be my 3rd choice."

+1

Beyond them, I think they will go for young players... someone like Erik Seidel doesn't have much appeal IMO.

And I don't think there's any chance that they'll sign Ivey, or anyone else who had an ownership stake in FTP. It's just not worth it.

Did the pros with ownership on FTP (Ivey, Juanda, Lindgren, etc), get anything from the pokerstars buyout or retain any kind of ownership?

Why wouldn't Pokerstars try and keep as many players associated with Full Tilt as possible? I mean Tilt already spent a lot of money putting Hansen, Dwan, Antonious all over their brand. Would seem like a waste because they need to rebuild the Full Tilt brand.

Ivey may be the best player, but I don't think his the most popular player. I still think there's a good chance he get a deal.

Nope, in fact 2 of the names you listed I believe now owe money to Poker Stars that they used to owe to FTP.

The pros with ownership all made millions(in some cases tens of millions) between 2004-2011 until the company went sideways. Of course some of them blasted through it just as fast at the poker table, craps table and sports book.

Every one of the original Team Full Tilt members should be set for life even with their money trees being cut down last year. I would guess that about half of them actually are.

Of the remaining Team Full Tilt members and the plethora of red pros which players do you think will be part of the marketing relaunch in November, if any? Several but not even close to all Full Tilt Pros listed below

Team Full Tilt
Tom Dwan
Patrick Antonius (has signed with ipoker)
Gus Hansen
Erik Seidel
Phil Ivey
Erick Lindgren
Mike Matusow
John Juanda
Jennifer Harman
Andy Bloch
Phil Gordon
Allen Cunningham

Some Notable FTP Red Pros
Andy Black
Eli Elezra
Huck Seed
David Oppenheim
Roland De Wolfe
Vitaly Lunkin
Layne Flack
David Benyamine
Hendon Mob Guys
Team Cardrunners Guys
Brandon Adams
Shaun Buchanan
James Akenhead
Josh Arieh
Amanda Baker
Praz Bansi
Alan Boston
Steve Brecher
Richard Brodie
Erik Cajelais
John Cernuto
David Chiu
Scott Clements
John D'Agostino
Melanie Weisner
Mark Vos
Matt Hawrilenko
Eric Froelich
Scott Fischman
Greg Mueller
Annette Obrestad (now with Lockpoker)
David Grey
Peter Feldman
Nick Schulman
Vivek Rajkumar
Jon Turner
Steve Zolotow
Rob Hollink
Perry Friedman
Julian Gardner
Andrew Lichtenberger
Eddie Scharf
David Pham
John Phan
Chip and Karina Jett
Soren Kongsgaard
Nikki Jedlicka
Svetlana Gromenkova
Carlos Mortenson
Justin Smith
Gavin Smith
Jared Hamby
Hal Lubarsky
Biil and Kristy Gazes
MonsterDong
Scott Montgomery
David Singer
Keith, Matt and Paul Sexton
Lee Watkinson
Marco Traniello
Andrew Feldman (retired apparently)
Erica Schoenberg

My guess of the Team Full Tilt Pros
is that Durrrr and Gus would be most likely of the Team Full Tilt to be offered a deal. Juanda because of his marketing potential in Asia would be my 3rd choice.

Of the red pros, it would be exclusively international players
Canadians like Greg Mueller, Gavin Smith, Erik Cajelais, Shaun Buchanan etc..
Internatinal players that play a ton online like Soren Kongsgaard, Peter Feldman, Nikki Jedlicka, MonsterDong could be offered deals
Female international players like Svetlana Gromenkova
Marketable Brits like DeWolfe, Praz, Hendon Mob boys, Akenhead
Well known Asian players such as David Chiu, David Pham etc..

Be interesting to hear people's thoughts on who Full Tilt Poker will market come November.

PS needs to make NO deals nor waste any $$$ on these people. They have almost all the business now and will have no trouble keeping it. There are no viable competitors and not likely to be any as long as PS rake and rakeback deals are competitive.

Brandon Adams is the obv answer. He's been so supportive of Stars and only had good things to say about them.

and this has nothing to do what he said about stars during the fulltilt mess.

stupid ******.

trolled softly

also, contracts expire- go team Weisner

I have nothing against any of the former FT pros's, but I'd be happy seeing NONE of them once again getting any deals this time around. Poker Stars should really clean house now that they bought FT and start fresh. I'd like to see some new faces, there's plenty of undiscovered, unknown talent out there, let's give them a chance.
