I think everyone likes Randy ''nanonoko'' , I like his aggro poker style but also his character .It's a shame he leaves team PokerStars . I hope he joins soon enough another team , so as to have a sponsor , because he deserves it and he has many fans .
Who's next ?? Who's neeeexttt ????? all of the pros wonder (except Daniel) : I am , you are , he is , she is .....???? This time of the year to be a Team Pokerstars Pro is one of the most stressfull jobs out there , at any moment you could be with no job , without any further notice or warning . Isn't there a PokerStars trade union to stop this?? Daniel speak up !!! :rofl:lol
:angel:
Now again seriously , good luck Randy to your next games and for your rest of your poker career :rock::rock::beer:

He said that: "my poker drive was slowly running out, as it happens to a lot of people."Randy wanted a quiet, measured life.

Sounds like he was required to do things that he didn't really enjoy. I've always thought that the idea of having to leave the US to play online poker can't really appeal to a lot of Americans - certainly it's not something I could see myself ever choosing to do for any long period of time.

I would hate it too if part of the job description was to stream day in and day out. He's a professional poker player so donations he gets on twitch wouldn't add that much to his income. Being unable to play poker freely in the comfort of your home, while being forced to stream for hundreds of viewers doesn't sound appealing at all.

IMO It is government regulation & player access that drive the industry. I have NEVER made a personal gaming choice based on who plays/works where. Many players & sites before Black Friday proved that Pro presence DID NOT indicate honesty at any level.
New fish may be star struck. They "feel" rather than think about anything. Those with brains & experience make their own decisions based on real world factors relevant to their lives. Just like Randy has done.
His life has changed after years of grinding. He indicated his own needs are no longer being met by his professional "job". He is not throwing insults or blame at anyone. He wants & needs a break. Good luck & God bless, Randy. Employee turnover happens for many reasons. Some will go & others take their place. Player volume will be more affected by winning & losing, game & prize pool availability & reward programs. IMHO... World keeps turning & life goes on. They stay "large" by staying honest & providing the gaming experience desired by the regular players.
God bless.

You might not have but back in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, Fulltilt Poker, Pokerstars, & Absolute Poker were flooding the tv channels with advertising. Also at this time shows like 'Poker After Dark' became very popular which also aided in boosting the advertising & numbers of players flocking to the sites. There was huge hype around it during the BOOM & I have no doubt that many new players were driven to play on the same sites as the players they saw on tv were playing on. (I know I did). My first deposits were on Fulltilt & Pokerstars.... Fulltilt quickly became my favorite (& still to this day it has always stood out as my all-time favorite... I think in many ways they did a great job with that company). Unfortunately things did go for sh1t .
You've lost me on this comment though >> "Many players & sites before Black Friday proved that Pro presence DID NOT indicate honesty at any level"
Care to explain?

When did you start playing poker online? How did you hear about it? What site did you join first.... & why? (come on... let's get some 'honesty' here)

Still on the attack I see...
From the immaturity you have displayed in responses in the past I don't like you at all. Honest enough? Calling me a liar does not help illicit positive responses either. Your questions, concerns & accusations are useless & empty IMO. 3 year olds should not be interested in poker anyway.
:laugh:
