You're kidding right?

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.

Well,, Bill might be more of a Celeb with people my age, but like you said Wil is a nice kid (lol .. to me anyone under the age of 35 is a kid), and he's got his stuff together for sure.

Yeah his oddness is part of what makes him funny. I miss his weekend updates on SNL.

Never got anything meaningful from Wheaton. Nice guy, but I'd wager he's not even a winning cash player.

Chupacabra, look up Norm MacDonald's final weekend update, the one that put the nail in his coffin or whatever, it's online somewhere, so hilarious. All of his were of course.

I always thought Wil didn't belong on Team Pokerstars, but neither do a bunch of other people on there. But as much as Humberto and Isabelle Mercier and Vanessa Rousso are lame, I'm sure they do at least get a lot of airtime for Pokerstars.

Whoever suggested William Shatner, I mean come on, do you think he is the kind of guy to just sell out and do some promotional thing like this anytime someone offers him money?? (haha).

Seemed like he didn't belong on team PS in the first place.

Ok, my wording sounds a bit harsh. A better way of phrasing what I meant was that he seemed out of place.

This sucks. I really think they're losing out on it ... I've played a few of those super-low-limit tourneys (a $10 HORSE tourney, I think) and it was a ton of fun and he was really cool, especially with regards to being a kind of (admittedly minor) celebrity playing with a bunch of low stakes donkeys.

I seriously think they should bring him back. FFS drop Vanessa Rousso and bring back Wil. My only impression of Rousso has been from NVG and she sounds, from what I've seen here, like a total douchebag. Doesn't look good for stars imo -- I'd rather have Wil for sure.
