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

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?

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.

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.

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,
