Looks like Phil is opening his own site. Don't think there is much chance in him going back to Full Tilt now.

It is a Training Site so he still has a chance

He talks about it in the end of an interview he gave to ESPN Monday morning

Ahh thanks WEC. I was guess I was jumping to conclusions as it is still under construction.

That's an understatement!

signed up, hope its good, whatever it is

Sounds like a good site. They also signed world series of poker main event winner Greg Merson.

it was confusing once you see it, but he been planing this for sometime now

Will it be worth while is the question.

Its suppose to be a free training site

and i was thinking merson seemed like the white version of ivey. will be very interesting to see what this site offers. will the brand name of ivey be enough to sustain it?

It's all about the follow through - not usually a strength in professional gamblers - but if it is handed off to some responsible people who have been given the resources they need - that will determine the success and quality.

we have to wait and see how it will be

The "Innovative Social poker game" part of it has me intrigued. This could be a great thing in terms of helping out the online poker ecology by introducing people into the game in a fun and interactive way -- kind of the way Zynga approached it but with a little more direction and structure. It could do wonders for helping breaking down social stigma related to real money poker and getting some fresh blood into the current system... and ramping things up for when online poker is able to reenter the USA fully regulated and legalized.

I'm kind of thinking the content will be geared more towards the general populace and not the hardcore grinders... kind of like a replacement for the now defunct FTP Academy. With Antonius and Harman having signed on, a lot of the old FTP Academy people seem to be on board with Ivey's site as well.

Do you think Fulltilt would consider acquiring Phil Ivey again for their site?
I've never played on there before and am not sure if having Phil on the site helped to increase the number of customers on there but I would think it would be unlikely for them to have him on there now. I read that Phil had put in a big lawsuit against Fulltilt right while they were in the midst of desperettly trying to put a deal together.
