Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Already discussed? DN signing up with them as well.

rick roll.....or not

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

interesting...

he didn't seem like a "Tilt boy" so I guess PS is the logical choice. Would have thought they might have thrown in some sort of bonus for their players though...

who the hell plays on fcp

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

More fuel to the rumour DN is broke, selling up his assets

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

I thought FCP was Dan's blog/site, I didn't know you could actually play poker

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

i having a feeling the negreenu will be losing 1m plus for the next year if he plays regularly on stars

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Didn't they have the highest game(i think maybe 500/1000 LHE) for a while, until FTP overtook them?

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Probably when they still were part of the Ongame/pokerroom network.

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

i loved FCP

Donk_Face for all you lil ssnl losers [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

yeah I would've thought FC would give them a bonus or some kind of special thing after having it stopped.

Why is this fuel? FCP never had the chance to build the following after only being with pokerroom for a short time.

Is it not a smart business move to get in with the biggest online company which will mean more money?

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

I didn't see this addressed in the link, what happens to people who already have an account at Stars but also have FCP accounts?

Thanks, was just wondering if people would end up with two stars accounts or not.

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

I used to play on FCP when it was part of OnGame. Nice bonuses and crappy players. *sigh*

Plus the forums are always good for a chuckle.

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Could someone copy and paste the story? Corporate won't let me go to FCP.

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Here's the announcement from FCP:

FullContactPoker.com
To: All FCP Depositing and Non-depositing Players

After much thought and consideration, Full Contact Poker has decided that it is in the best interest of its poker players to merge with one of the industry’s top poker sites, PokerStars.com. As part of this merger, all FCP player balances (cash and player points) will be transferred to PokerStars. Full Contact Poker and PokerStars will try to make the account transfer process as easy and seamless as possible.

We would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding during the transition process, which will take place over the next few days. Please take care to read the information that follows very carefully.

Full Contact Poker will cease all poker and casino operations in all countries and return FullContactPoker.com to its roots as a forum-based poker community that features Daniel Negreanu and his popular blog, video diaries and a new video poker school that is in development. FCP players now have the opportunity to shift their FCP accounts over to PokerStars, where they will join over 9 million other players on the World’s largest poker site, assuring themselves of a game of poker any time of day.

In a separate agreement, Daniel Negreanu has signed as a member of Team PokerStars, showing his commitment to where he sees the future of online poker.

The soon-to-be-revamped Full Contact Poker website and community will now have the best of both worlds. Daniel will continue to be an active leader in the FCP Community, while at the same time PokerStars has agreed to become the new home for many of our community’s online poker events, including Negreanu’s Protégé 3, future Weekend at Daniel’s events, the weekly Negreanu Open and much more!



LOL Fossilman and Negreanu both with team Pokerstars. Maybe Daniel can convince Greg to drop the WPT lawsuit and how to play "small ball" n NLH tourneys.

Peace,

KennyBanya

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

FCP used to be my main cash game site. They had some cool MTT promotions, and oh God I miss the Pokerroom fish.

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Interesting development. Daniel doesn't like to share the limelight with anyone so it will be interesting to see how they market him along with their World Champions.

I still don't think he is busto but this points to his being very concerned as to where the bankroll is headed. Wonder what his cut of the buyout is or if his cut is simply to be staked and allowed to continue with all of his ego massaging activities - Protege, weekend at Danny's, etc...

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Is it a sign that Pokerstars is getting more reputable?

One of the FCP admins posted:

"If you already have an account at Poker Stars then your balance will go to your current account. If a player doesn't have a Poker Stars account then they will have to open a new account and their balance will transfer to that account."

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

More fish on Stars now?

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Since I already have a stars account I dont really mind, but I really dont like when a company I have done business basically bellies up and sells off my info for there benefit, so heres a big [censored] you DN.

0.0001% more, FCP wasn't exactly big. If Daniel starts playing regularily on Stars though, this will be very good news to current HS Stars players.

If there's any lesson to be learned here it's that if you start a poker site, don't just take the name of an existing site, change one word, and expect it to work.

damn, i've been training for protege 3.

It DID work, until UIGEA. Ongame/Pokerroom was a GREAT network and always had good games. I think it was a smart move for FCP to go with them until they stopped allowing American players, but who could have predicted that?

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

DN and Fossilman under the same umbrella...could be interesting.

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Yeah it seems to me this has everything to do with the UIGEA and nothing to do with Daniel's current financial situation. I mean, it seems FCP is most likely losing money so they sold it...Daniel doesn't have to be broke to want to bail out of a failing business venture.

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

When does this happen?

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

They've already started the transfer. It'll be complete by Thursday.

Re: Full Contact Poker merging with Pokerstars
 

Good for Pokerstars and good for Daniel. I think this will be good for poker, in general.

Back in the day, Daniel said Stars was the only site he'd consider endorsing (back when it was mostly just the 4 or 5 major sites).
