Team Full Tilt vs Team Pokerstars

I was just wondering which online poker software/site has the better team of poker professionals. I was think what if the 5 best pros from full tilt played 5 of the best pros from pokerstars heads up who would win? Just post your comments and thoughts. Also vote in the poll.

Check out Team Full Tilt:

Check out Team Pokerstars:

Obviously with these pros you could probably give each one a legitimate shot to win a 10 person SnG. I would give the slight edge to Full Tilt.

BTW, in a cash game i think Full Tilt mops the floor with Poker Stars. Ivey, Antonius, Hansen, Cunningham, some of the best cash gamers in the world.

Full Tilt has Jesus and Ivey. I'd pick FT.

Full Tilt 65%: 35% PokerStars

Count the bracelets, count the bracelets.

I just played favorites and voted for Full Tilt based on aesthetics. Still, does anybody wanna count the bracelets? I could but I don't wanna.

I'm with Ivey. Simply the best, hands down!

I say it's Full Tilt.

Ivey and Seidel have more braclets than the entire PokerStars team combined.

PokerStars:
Daniel Negreaneu - 4
Barry Greenstein - 3
Humberto Brenes - 2
Chris Moneymaker - 1
Joe Hachem - 1
Alexander Kravchenko - 1
Greg Raymer - 1
Peter Eastgate - 1
Dario Minieri - 1

Total: 15

Other Notables w/ no braclets:
Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier *Rated #1 in the Bluff Power Rankings
Vanessa Russo

Full Tilt:
Erik Seidel - 8
Phil Ivey - 7 (possibly an 8th in November)
Chris "Jesus" Ferguson - 5
Allen Cunningham - 5
John Juanda - 4
Mike Matusow - 3
Howard Lederer - 2
Jennifer Harman - 2
Erick Lindgren - 1

Total: 37

Other Noteables w/ no braclets:
Phil Gordon
Gus Hansen
Patrik Antonius
Andy Bloch

Ooh and it's just a matter of time before the notables on Team Full Tilt win bracelets as well. They're just that good.

Thanks for counting Mortis. I didn't want to + I'm too lazy.

Yeah Team Full Tilt should win this one hands down. On top of bracelets I believe Full Tilt has more WPT and WSOP players of the year.

So am I the only one getting the feeling that Daniel's totally carrying Team Poker Stars? Such a little guy to have to lug around Greg Raymer.

I gotta go with PokerStars, even though Full Tilt obviously has more name recognition for the most part. JC Alvarado is the man.

full tilt with phil ivey, erik seidel, Erick Lingren, Jen harman, howard lederer, allen c., John j. and jesus ferguson ... and pokerstars with only Barry greinstein, elky, and daniel negreanu as the well-known pros...
I think the obvious choice is full tilt in software and better players.

full tilt has phil ivey.. enough said

Plus, where else am I gonna watch Hansen vs Benyamine in short handed and heads up PLO cash games?

i lov ftp but h8 phil ivey lol. but i lov tom dwan lol. n i lov hellmuth so i dont play ub but hellmuth greatest

ya n hellmuth has mor than ivey n howard phils best hnds dwn

Really? Is this even a debate? Not in my mind it isn't...

Full Tilt Poker FTW!

Fulltilt hands down.

With a few exceptions the only thing the PS team has done is go deep in the ME.
There obvs. all great players but i doubt alot of them would sit with PA,Ivey ect at rail heven if they played on fulltilt.

Only if you ignore The Bear.

Team Full Tilt FTW though.

I prefer to play at PS, but FT has the best teams bar none.

fulltilt would mop the floor with pokerstars lol and go Gus win a bracelet soon

even the friends of full tilt i believe would beat the friends of pokerstars lol

Ouch, left out Barry Greenstein. I'm a jerk. Still, that's 2 players carrying the team, while it doesn't look that way for Full Tilt.

Live tourney?... or Online?
It wouldn't even be a tourney... would be a SNG. So which team has the best SNG players?
If you were picking the top 5 from each site.... none of the players on Team Fulltilt or Team Pokerstars would be in the event as none of them are anywhere near the Top5. (not even close)

THe poll is missing an option. I don't see Team Orifice??

Team UltimateBet would kick the ass of FT & stars.... with Phil Helmuth playing solo!!!! (unless when he traps with a set of A's... and lets a T-6o draw out on him)

although team full tilt has a team of better poker players how come pokerstars is still more popular than full tilt poker wouldn't you think that since pokerstars is more popular they would have a better array of poker players?

There are all sorts of answers to that question - suffice it to say that sponsored pros are just one aspect of any site's marketing and promotions.

In my opinion, i guess the best team is the full tilt team, with the company of ivey with some bracelets, allen cuningham, gus hansen, jenifer harman, cris ferguson, the team of pokerstars have just some good players

BEST TEAM: Fulltilt
BEST POKER SOFTWARE: Poker Stars

In a one off game any of the pros are capable of winning. Over a long preiod of games I think FT would sneak ahead but I really do not think there would be much in it.

This question is too vague! Online or live? Tourney format or cash game? Yes FT does have the best array of well-known names, but just because you don't know who they are does not mean they don't know what there doing. I think If its any type of online play PS wins. The reason being: The PS team gets to play against so many more players, and better ones too. I strongly believe that the general player population of PS beats FT by far any day of the week!!! The nosebleed games on FT have a very small player pool compared to PS and the big names for the most part just pass the same money back and forth most of the time. The PS team on the other hand have a much more populated pool that can afford these stakes and they get alot more practice with "random" online players. It's like practice squads for NFL teams, better practice squads means your starters get better looks, and better work, therefore get more out of there practices. SAME THEORY!! I'll go ahead and throw him out there, there is ALOT of Chris Moneymaker type players on PS. Knock him if you want, it's proven that he can't really hang with these big names in a live setting, but I'm willing to bet he cleans out alot of ppl one step down! PS is full of Moneymaker-level talent. Thats why they win in any type of online setting. That being said, If we take the top ten from both in a High Stakes Poker type setting I think the bottom half of the PS team gets cleaned out! LOL.

This +1 Coulndt have said it better so ill just quote it

Full Tilt by far.

Phil ivey, Allen Cuningham, Chris Ferguson, jennifer harman... come on!

Brenes and Negreanu are the only in ps that come close to the category of this players

I guess Bluff Magazine is incorrect then because for 2009 they have Fulltilt Poker down as 1st in Poker Software.

I think If its any type of online play PS wins. The reason being: The PS team gets to play against so many more players, and better ones too

^^ IN MTT play it's the same players who are playing on both of the sites at the upper levels and top of rankings. (and obviously none of the 'TeamFulltilt' or "TeamPokerstars" are in the running).

I wonder what screenames the TeamPokerstars' players are playing on Fulltilt as? Must suck for them to not be able to play the $1kMonday.

sidenote.... I was talking with a member of TeamUltimateBet at a live tournament and they told me that they regularly play in the MTTs on Fulltilt but didn't want to reveal their screename. Maybe Daniel Negreanu really is that guy you see in the micro MTTs.... 'DanielNegreanu4'... or was that DanielNegreanu736 (I forget?)

If Bluff magazine picked FT as the no1 software after the summer make over update there morrons imo.
