Because you are acutally playing on pokerroom.com they needed to add an O of someone already had the name on pokerroom. I was a bit confused at first, but then I thought it strange that FCP already had 8,000 players online. So I went into my pokerroom account and it had just about that same. I also sat down at a table and say myself playing through FCP. Kinda strange that in a round about way you could play against yourself at the same ring game table, lol.

No I'm not suprised that something that this happened. It just makes it a lot easier for me to be cynical even about a guy as good as DN. Maybe I'm writing this because I thought DN was a self-less guy, a true role model for any human being. (Maybe even a role model for myself). I thought he may have created this forum and been so accessible because of the person he is (honest and straightforward). Though I still believe these are major character traits of his I am very likely to believe that he is a business man out here for profit. Does he really think that adding a casino to this forum is a good idea for all the impressionable youth. He can write about it in his blogs all he likes. Now I realize why the last few blogs have been so focused on gambling. It glorified gambling to all his fans on this site. (If a guy as respected and smart as Daniel shoots craps maybe I should too? Don't think there aren't posters who were targeted for the casino, as well as age demographics taken into consideration by the business team). No fear new gamblers because now we have the FCP casino. Casino games are horrible in that we are always -EV. You can't even pretend to have control over them you're donating money all the time. Or pretend you are doing something useful with your time. Plus the people here like to gamble here already so why not take advantage of that. (He has good business sense eh)On a different note selling the site was his prerogative, manipulating poker fans was not. It is our job as posters to keep sites in line because the government has no control over this stuff. We regulate the ethics on line by making stands and speaking out in forums and blogs.As a note to one of the posters honestly, if I had millions of dollars the last thing I would do would be opening a gambling website. (It would be hard for me to sleep at night)I predict 10.5 flames for the over/under. :club:

you do know dn is a pro card player RIGHT.....how is this a good role model for a youth?? he can be a great person <and he is> but he IS NOT a role model....he is a guy that makes his living taking money from other ppl....lets not forget that... if you want a role model for your kids, raise them correctly that way the wont go looking for gamblers as role models...unfreaking real....

Not getting any responses to my emails, does anyone have a number for FCP support ?
Look around page 3 of the stickied thread. It's in there. 1-877-something
I think think that is one of the coolest things about the new FCP... not having to wait around on a reply email. really good stuff

This has to be one of the funniest posts ever. I mean c'mon...you are disappointed because Daniel is getting more involved with poker? I guess you would have liked his big announcement to be that he was renouncing everything to do with poker and getting a day job as an accountant or something.Thx for the laugh.

I think this new site is just indicative of how dn views us.($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)I'm not suprised he's a poker player.  Its his job to create an image thats conducive to making money (he's written articles on it).  I dislike the new site (it is horribly designed with crappy software).  I know I'm a cynic so don't bother telling me to be a pessimist.I guess I'm still a DN fan (just now I know that his kindness in the past may have had profitable intentions.
I respectfully disagree, both with the premise and with the specifics.I disagree with the premise that profit = bad. That all profit is somehow ill-gotten. But hey, I'm a trader and a poker player so of course I'd disagree with that.As for the specifics, the fact is that DN has spent tens of thousands of dollars (hundreds of thousands?) out of his own pocket, setting up, running, and maintaining this site over the past year plus. Not to mention the prizes, trips, parties, and what not. Just because he can afford it doesn't mean he somehow owes it to anyone to do it. If starting a poker room will help him recoup some of that expense, then it'd be just silly not to.It's not like he said we can't be an FCP member if we play at other sites. It's not like he's started charging to be an FCP member. I like the guy, but I'm not a DN apologist. If he did either of those things, I'd say he was wrong. But the fact of the matter is that the guy has done absolutely nothing but constantly and consistently add value to a site FOR poker players, run BY poker players, and he's done so entirely out of his own pocket. He certainly doesn't deserve any flack just because he's maintaining a business sense while being generous at the same time.

You can't actually sit at the same table as yourself, though.. Right?-adam

Whats the over/under on this site lasting longer than Poker Mountain ?
Well seeing as how PokerRoom is the 4th largest network in the world I'd say the over/under would have to be pretty high.

I like what Daniel has done to try to reward FCP charter members. Especially those who were frequent posters (no, I don't consider myself one of those) seem to benefit from their past participation in the website.I must say that I am disappointed with the affiliation with Pokerroom. I have played on it as part of Hollywoodpoker.com (they offered a 500% bonus). IMO the site sucks. The note-taking and hand history functions are terrible. The screens do not automatically take you to the table where the action is to you (only a beep to let you know) so multi-tabling is way more difficult.The process for registration for tournaments is a pain in the a%$. Except for the fact that the limit holdem games are extremely soft -- softer than Party -- the site seems to have no redeeming qualities.I have enjoyed played the Main Events at Stars but it is highly unlikely that I will make a point to play at FCP. Ultimate Bet and Full Tilt are much better sites with decent tournament structures that offer reasonable bonuses that are fairly easily cleared. I especially like the way UB gives you your bonus as you earn it rather than $20 increments. (If they would just get rid of that obnoxious chip noise I would have a hard time finding something wrong with it.)It will be interesting to hear all the chat during the Main Event tonight on Stars.

Wow, you people complain a lot.-The O at the end is because you chose the same screen name for this that you have on another pokerroom skin (or the pokerroom site).  You should've been smart enough to know to use a different name, since it's all the same network.
It has nothing to do with being smart enough. I haven't played at Pokerroom for months, and didn't assume/recognize or was informed that FCP was a Pokerroom skin. If I had been informed that FCP was a Pokerroom skin, then I certainly would have used a different user id.Anyway, I agree the promo's ar eworth the confusion and I hope the forum speeds back up.Respectfully,
You couldn't see from the screenshot(s) that it was a pokerroom skin?
What the hell is a pokerroom skin???? ... someone please explain!!!I don't think i have the username Razor on any other pokerroom skin. Unless FCP.com is a pokerroom skin???? .... Yet I still have the O on the end of my login name. RazorBo
