Re: Are the FTP pros \"phoning it in\" during FTOPS?
On Stars, they get free entries into the WCOOP events, and for some of them that is a big part of their compensation. It was kind of comical in $5K WCOOP HORSE event where all these Stars pros were some of the deadest money there. They get these deals through NLHE tournament play and some of them have no idea how to play the stud games.
I think FT may also give them free FTOPS entries.
Also, a few of them are really strong pros, but a lot of them are more at the level of the pros and strong amateurs typically in these forums. These FTOPS events have plenty of pros playing in them, and the FT official pros are not all much better than average players in these events.
