    Just read this on Daniel's Myspace blog:

    "So it looks like I will no longer be playing on any more sessions of Poker After Dark. When I first heard the news that pokerstars would no longer be allowing it's players to play on PAD, I was a bit perplexed. However, when I heard the reasoning behind it, I agreed with their decision completely. I won't go into too much detail as to what exactly happened, but the decision is absolutely the right one. PokerStars didn't become the world's largest poker site by accident, there are smart people making key decisions as to what's best for the site, and this is another example of them getting it right. While it was fun to play on the show, I totally respect the decision to pull PokerStars players from the show."

    Thoughts? My first inkling is because it's a Full Tilt sponsored event, but I know that it's probably not that simple.

    It sounds like a singular event from daniels blog, however I am sure the exec's at stars have been looking for a "reason" to pull their players from the show without admitting that Tilt has gotten big enough to warrent concern... IMO.

    This is unfortunate that stars pros wont be playing on PAD. It is great for poker fanatics. By showing every hand it really lets you into the players minds.
