yeah, i was reading that earlier. Full Contact Poker is no more. Everyone who had an FCP account gets their funds automatically transferred to Pokerstars.

he's just a really awesome guy

pokerstars is sooo smart.

Very Cool, One of my favorite players for sure. I love the one game on TV where he is saying "BLIBITY BLABITY, BLIBITY BLABITY" to, I think its the mouth.

Just makes me love PokerStars all the more. Now I could actually play against my idol and lose my whole bankroll in one hand. But what a story I will have.

Great news, he is one of my favorite players.

nah I wouldn't take your bankroll.

That is a big upgrade for PokerStars

He's pretty good...

gonna love seeing how he holds up in the big cash on pokerstars tht is gonna be some tough love for him

You're expecting him to lose?

Daniel Negreanu is certainly one of the most exciting players to watch.. It's absolutely uncanny how often he can just decipher an opponents hand through a few actions.. I know T.V. picks and chooses those hands which he is correct but it's still unreal to see.. I love his approach to the game and how serious he takes it.. He's also really outspoken in terms of Professional Players rights whether it be for online players or live tourney pros.. He just seems like an all around good guy.. I'm looking forward to railing him when he plays on Poker Stars

Actually, it is a pretty smart move by both PokerStars and Daniel.

Both profiles will get a boost.

actaully in his blog a few months back he was talking about how he can't win when he plays online because he just gets really bored with it since there's no interaction and he tends to donk all his money away. He said for that reason alone he very rarely plays online.

I don't know how many players there were at FCP but hopefully they had a very stocked pond that will now be swimming at stars.

From FCP:

"To: All FCP Depositing and Non-depositing Players
After much thought and consideration, Full Contact Poker has decided that it is in the best interest of its poker players to merge with one of the industry’s top poker sites, PokerStars.com. As part of this merger, all FCP player balances (cash and player points) will be transferred to PokerStars. Full Contact Poker and PokerStars will try to make the account transfer process as easy and seamless as possible.

We would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding during the transition process, which will take place over the next few days. Please take care to read the information that follows very carefully.

Full Contact Poker will cease all poker and casino operations in all countries and return FullContactPoker.com to its roots as a forum-based poker community that features Daniel Negreanu and his popular blog, video diaries and a new video poker school that is in development. FCP players now have the opportunity to shift their FCP accounts over to PokerStars, where they will join over 9 million other players on the World’s largest poker site, assuring themselves of a game of poker any time of day.

In a separate agreement, Daniel Negreanu has signed as a member of Team PokerStars, showing his commitment to where he sees the future of online poker...."

From a purely publicity standpoint, I think that Moneymaker, Raymer and Hachem make a bigger impression om the general public than will Kid Poker. It's the players who Daniel will have the biggest impact on, IMO.

Just imagine being the weekly TLB leader, and gewtting to spend Sunday aft playing heads up against him for a grand or 2. He's a big step up from when Team PokerStars had Evelyn Ng, especially since online you ciouldn't look down her shirt.

One aspect left out of all of this and was reported on CardPlayer.com is that Negreanu will be bring his "Protege" promotion to PokerStars with him. So that will be cool. I'm sure they'll probably run it like the Moneymaker Millionaire promotion...so that means no one has a chance, except 10 donks.

WOAH!! sickk!

I just want to add he is also CANADIAN

We won't hold that against him.

Glad to be on PokerStars

I think fullcontactpoker.com was on futurebet paltform, since all this problems with player pay outs, it is probably a good move by Daniel. Although probably fullcontactpoker.com did their own independent processing

I did hear a while ago that Full Contact was becoming a big drain on resources and was facing a tough future - similar to Brunsons Poker.

Without the popular name/faces and with the internet bill and lack of advertising its a sensible move.

Wonder where Mr Brunson and co will go?

Definitely, they're both extremely good at marketing themselves.

Congrats to PokerStars & Daniel,,Smart move, hes great to watch>>>>>>>>buck

owned.

Its been a while for sure. Like all trying to weed my way through all of this internet craze.

Question for anyone playing or recieving a CD from Absolute Poker. Just got this CD in the mail from them on a promo. Actually states this on the CD. So I login and wala.........notta, niche, nothin.

"Gain access to the free $10 you just found out about, just load the Absolute Poker software already installed on your computer."

Anyone else get this or know what its about. Anyway sent email of to promo support, but just wanted to get anyones feed on this.

Thanks
