Victor Ramdin could be replaced with an inanimate object and nobody would notice.

I always thought he was kind of the odd man out when it came to PS representatives, but I felt it was a good thing as he represented a large section of serious but non-professional players. PS probably felt they weren't getting enough return on their investment as he's not the type to attract cameras or other attention, but for some reason I think PS is poorer without his inclusion.

I agree, plus his website gets a ton of readers, and he mentioned PS many times there. I know a lot of people signed up for PS because of him, and I think this is a bad choice that PS is making, cutting him from their team.

I played FT of a 10 cent donkament with him on PS (which he won!) and his presence and grace really made it a special occasion.

Regrettably, too many of the railbirds were just plain abusive.

I think they prefer a degen to look up to.

Pokerstars should have chosen Shatner instead of Wheaton in the first place. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You're kidding right? As much as I like Bill (as I'm old enough to remember the original series back with it was airing as an original show), Wil can play circles around him!

Did you see Bill Shatner on the WPT Celeb events a few years back?

Bill had a low PP before the flop, then gets Quads on the flop (with I think a face card showing) ... and BETS them big (too big to allow for a call) instead of checking or betting very small, and then letting the other (more) agressive players do his betting for him!

Yes I am, I didn't even know that Shatner had ever played poker in his life. But he would have been a bigger celebrity than Wil. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I played low limit HORSE with Wheaton a couple times on Pokerstars and have been reading his blog more or less regularly for years - he's a nice, cool guy and I wish him only success, he doesn't need Pokerstars.
