ROGUE06 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I kind of touched upon it a little bit in the Matusow thread but it really got me thinking. Do the pros really have to play a certain amount of time in their contract to FTP? The reason I wonder is I have never seen Lederer play online once, then you get other pros who play like once a week or less while others play roughly every other day. I seriously do wonder what the contracts are like for the pros, like do they all make the same amount for being on Team FT, or are they required to play a certain amount online, etc. Anybody read anywhere online or heard what exactly is in their contracts and are they individualized or more or less the same to everyone, meaning does someone like Ivey, who has been very successful in marketing full tilt with all his final table appearances, make more money then Clonie Gowen who hasn't really done anything major.

ROGUE06 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 thats sad, really....she doesnt even wear those hideous jerseys eitherlol What exactly has Gowen accomplised to make it on Team Full Tilt? She won the 1st Ladies Night invitational on WPT with alot of luck, but other than that the only other thing she has been involved in was the blindman's bluff competition at the 04 WSOP.

She ended up winning it. Link to post Share on other sites

SleekPanther 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 This is taken from FT's current WSOP 06 terms and conditions. If you happen to win the main event through them they give you 10 million in addition to the winners $ with the following stipulations. I would assume it's pretty similar as the current pros deal altho maybe it's longer than it has been in the past. I would also think they may cover tourney buy-ins or other perks for the proven/well known players. Either way, this is a dream deal if you can take down the big dance. Can you say set for life?"Players must agree to a 10-year exclusive endorsement contract with Full Tilt Poker allowing us to use their name, voice, and likeness in all future online and offline promotions. Additionally, Player agrees to play a minimum of 10 hours per week at Full Tilt Poker.com, and to attend any promotional events or tournaments that Full Tilt Poker deems appropriate. Player will be ineligible to promote any other online or offline poker-related company.Additionally, Player must agree to only wear Full Tilt Poker gear at the World Series of Poker Main Event whenever possible, including when playing at non-televised tables, and during any and all televised interviews, and at all future tournaments and professional poker-related appearances throughout the duration of this agreement, where allowed by the event organizer.Full Tilt Poker retains final approval rights in regard to any other endorsements the Player may be interested in pursuing, and will not unreasonably withhold such permission."

Oziumrules 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I think Lederer actually runs Full Tilt. I heard him say he is too busy running Full Tilt and his lecturing , therefore, he does not play in many tourneys anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
yeffy 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 When Howard is on there he usually just plays sit and go's. He also plays play money tables and sometimes some razz or stud8. Ferguson is the same way sit and gos and play money with a little 1/2 thrown in. I believe the two of them have a bigger stake in the company than the others but I don't know for sure.
