Suited_Up 2 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 PokerStars only allows a user to have one user name. Consequently Daniel will play under slimenem (or whatever it was).Obv they don't make exceptions for anyone.Full Tilt doesn't either. Link to post Share on other sites
bjtylerx 0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 PokerStars only allows a user to have one user name. Consequently Daniel will play under slimenem (or whatever it was).I remember Moneymaker saying stars offered to change his money800 username to ChrisMoneymaker (or something similar) but he declined since money800 was already well known...so yeah, I'm sure he'll change it if he so desires.
