Ftops Event 1 Deal

[holdemily 0]

saw some discussion about it already, but what a joke. a full tilt pro gets heads up, makes a deal, and then they both donk off chips not caring who wins.i realize it's not a prestigious event in the big picture, but why not play it out?i was surprised to see the recap of the event kind of took a stand against the deal also http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/poker-blog/"The anti-climactic finish sparks debate over the effects of deal making to the prestige of an event. While players certainly shouldn't be stopped from making a gentleman's agreement to avoid being forced to play volatile tournaments for large sums of money, it does make you wonder whether deals like that should tend to leave enough money on the table to make the players try to win. It should be noted that Full Tilt Poker does not enforce dealmaking at this time, so the debate will remain an issue between the players. On the other hand, the finale of this tournament reminds us that big paydays are what keeps people coming to poker tournaments, and with over $130,000 between the two of them, Roland de Wolfe and hoodini10 learned that better than anyone.

I think Jay Greenspan is right, as well as the other people who disagreed with the deal making. Why now when a pro is HU will they let a deal be made, but 18 months ago when I tried to in a much smaller tournament I had my account suspended for a month, blah to this. I dont think theyll be letting any more deals go on FTP, unless maybe a pro is involved, blah.Jeff

No, support was there helping with the deal.
