Yoda 1 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 a really good move. I am glad that it doesn't look like this will hurt the forums.Unless they advertise our forums and/or the Neg-O through pokerstars...in which case 2 weeks from now we will have 50 new Tantalars and 100 new gmanshades.

fxchase10 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Sounds like good news for the volume but somehow I'm already feeling a bit nostalgic for the old friend called FCP. :icon_sad:I'm guessing that I'll have to quit my day job to be able to play enough to freeroll in the Protege contests now. Gonna go from like 100th in points for the qualifiying period to 278,000th. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 People, the bonus money you have in your acct is worthless if you don't play at FCP. Let it go.I'm torn about this move. I finally warmed up to the software at FCP and started building my acct balance back up. Super soft tourneys and cash games at FCP which more than makes up for the software issues. Also, now that the neg-o's will pull 180+ players, I don't have much chance at making the top 9. This will go back to being the hardest $10 tourney on the interweb. Link to post Share on other sites
jjgoldy5 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 My guess is that you are trying to access the old On Game software.Uninstall the FCP software and download the current DGN software from the FCP website.Remember that your poker login name is jjgoldy5Yes, I'm fairly sure you are correct. You are a much better help than the people on the line at support haha.Great move management, I'm ecstatic to have the Neg-O and Protege events on PokerStars. Link to post Share on other sites
QED 4 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Does this mean that DN will be making it over to Europe for the pokerstars sponsored EPT events in the future? Link to post Share on other sites
silicon 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I don't think Poker Stars has Instadebit as a deposit option but I will give them the feedback that for Canadian players is works very well.If your credit cards don't work a deposit option from Canada is via Western Union I believe.Thanks.I also stuck out the wait for the SNG - and ended up taking it down.Nice to go out on a high note.

mr_english 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 First time I played the Neg-o it was on stars, and I won it. Now you guys are coming back I could not be happier. However I am going to miss my FCP screen name, wonder if I can make a deal on stars to change it. Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Reed 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 ON CARDPLAYERDaniel Negreanu Joins Team PokerStarsPokerStars Lands One of the Most Marketable Players AroundPokerStars has landed one of the biggest sharks in the poker industry. Today, it announced that it signed Daniel Negreanu as a member of Team PokerStars.“I've enjoyed a long personal relationship with the folks at PokerStars since the company's founding in 2001 and have always felt as though PokerStars fully understood what players wanted: lots of tournaments, lots of variety, and great software,'' said Daniel Negreanu though a press release. “I'm very excited about joining Team PokerStars. The organization seems like the perfect fit for me and I'm glad they feel the same way.”A press conference is set to take place at the Rio at 11 a.m. PT.He joins 18 other players, among them three of the last four World Series of Poker champions (Greg Raymer, Joe Hachem, and Chris Moneymaker), tournament and high-stakes superstar Barry Greenstein, Humberto Brenes, Steve Paul-Ambrose, Vanessa Rousso, former WSOP champ Tom McEvoy.Negreanu, who recently left the job as spokesman for Full Contact Poker, will be bringing his protégé promotion over with him. More details should emerge from the press conference. Check back to CardPlayer.com later today for more details. A spokesman for PokerStars said Negreanu is a perfect fit for the company. He said before Negreanu was offered a contract, marketing studies were done in all of its markets, and even the folks at PokerStars were surprised to learn that Negreanu’s image and personality tested the same in all the markets: People simply like him.

koolromeo 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 how much do you think this move is worth to daniel a year? Link to post Share on other sites
Dabs45 1 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 should be a good move. we gonna have any private tournys there besides the NegO? Maybe some guaranteeds? Link to post Share on other sites
EStormOk 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 People, the bonus money you have in your acct is worthless if you don't play at FCP.While I see what your saying, I think you are forgetting about those of us that have never stopped playing at FCP and still have bonus money to clear. I find it disappointing that the bonus couldn't be transferred, even if we lost some value. I said dissappointed, not on full out tilt. I also will admit that most of the bonus money I have was given to me when the switch to DGN took place. So, I really didn't deposit to get it.I have been thinking of moving some money to Stars to play, just was to lazy to go through the hoops to do it. Now it will be done for me.

Mikey Ravioli 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Cool. As long as I can still contribute zero to this forum but still read it, I am happy.Clearance sale on FCP merchandise????????? Link to post Share on other sites
yourboygsarida 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm happy that there will be some stability with the move to Stars. I hope this will also allow for more private cash game/tournament options on that site.However, this is pretty much the end of forum only tournaments. Oh well, nothing stays forever.clearly you havent been playing the skips/flips/drunkaments of late. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 clearly you havent been playing the skips/flips/drunkaments of late.And the Strat tourney...And pretty much anytime someone wants to create a private tourney and only post the pw to forum members... Link to post Share on other sites

KDawgCometh 2 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 i have to disagree. the best store would be the one of my own choosing that i would have spent the $900+ in bonus money i cleared. not a store stocked with moneymaker books and greg raymer posters. we should have gotten something for our bonus. i see no benefit to players by this move at all. most of us are already members of stars. if there is some sort of benefit, i would love for someone to explain it to me.you obviously haven't looked at the stars store since dec 05. their VIP rewards easily blow away anything else at any other poker site*note, I'm not shilling as per the company line. I never opened an account at FCP and have only ever played at 4 networks in total Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 However, this is pretty much the end of forum only tournaments. Oh well, nothing stays forever.if a person has over 2K FPPs in their lifetime at stars, they just have to email stars to allow private tournies, so yes forum only tournies can and will happen Link to post Share on other sites
