Chui is an excellent player, as is Toto. But what value can they bring to the site?

Obv if Ivey or Lindgren was playing that would definitely attract extra players.

But I can't believe any of these guys bring a penny of extra business to FTP.

I think their strategy revolves around creating an environment where fans feel like they are interacting with pros on a regular basis. I'd guess that if even a few people who know of Chui or Toto from tv gets the chance to chat with them or observe them on the site that FTP considers that a marketing victory.

That's one world class player and two "excellent" players out of 16.

McManus is definately an amateur who wrote a book. All of the female players are fairly weak.

I play this level of MTTs quite a bit, and know who the regulars are. I would be more concerned about one of those than most of these Full Tilt pros.

Maybe these "names" impress casual players more than they do people on this board.
