lol at taking anything this lifeloser says seriously. he knows nothing about everything. all the "inside info" he was spewing after black friday turned out to be bull shit. I hate the old school players with a passion

I hope this happens.

From the P5's article relating to the failure of the Tapie deal:

"A statement from the consortium explains that the reasons for the failure are twofold, citing the inability to agree a repayment plan for rest-of-world players plus legal complications which 'proved unresolvable.'"

I can see how the repayment of players could be resolved, but the legal complications with the DOJ might be a tough nut to crack. Money solves many problems though. I hope I'm wrong.

Nice, at least that confirms they are in discussion

pokerstars has always been more focused on market share outside of the US, FTP always more focus on the US. I think it makes sense to have both but if you have to chose one then FTP makes more sense in the US and PS can just keep owning the rest of the globe.

I hope this is true

this is about as good as a confirmation for me.

stars doesnt fuck around. If these were baseless rumors they would have shot them down instantly.

its the real deal.

 

I think that pokerstars will either close the Full Tilt brand or make it a “skin” of PokerStars. I’m aware that the sources today have stated that there will be two separate sites. PokerStars has some incentive to keep it that way, as there are a number of users who prefer each of the two types of software and have loyalties for one reason or another to a particular brand.

This reminds me of when the WWE bought WCW. First they tried to keep them as 2 separate brands but it failed miserably. The thing that made wrestling so appealing then was the direct competition. It sucks now.

it might be pokerstars "punishment" for the DOJ not bringing anything to trial and for not pulling out of the US market like party and others did? total speculation there

or maybe stars will be in too, eventually...

EDIT: oh and I asked deeb a question

waco: by open in US, u mean once the feds act?
waco: or open in the current market
deeb: im not sure
deeb: which is why I didnt clairfy

I just wanna win t-shirts again!

nice work getting deeb to clear that up Waco. was really hoping for a better explanation from him.

yeah, I think that everyone is so juiced at what Deeb said, that we're reading into it too much. He was being vague, because he had incomplete information. It seems most likely that the deal involves both brands entering the market, once legislation is passed; but who knows. Good looking out TWK.

just imagine FTPs software with pokerstars support.

dont think I could ask for much more than that

lol. the traffic would be insane the first sunday back.
