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

If you read the comments on Wil's take, you'll realize that both Dan Goldman and Lee Jones thought he belonged.

so wtf was he a part of team pokerstars?

Because he was a well spoken recreational player with a familiar face? Seems like a good person to have on a promotional team.

"I will miss being the unofficial ambassador to the low rollers."

As a low limit donk, I have time for people with this kind of attitude... He was there for a good time, to be a spokesperson, and to write about poker. & he did it well.

No illusions that he's a pro / stellar player - kinda like me - playing for fun.

GL Wil...

He lurks on this site (sn=Wil). I played a 180-man $22 with him one time and he came and found me here the next day. Super nice guy.

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.
