Default What\'s FTP got, that the others didn\'t???

"WE'RE HERE TO STAY." do y'all buy this???,
or will Full Tilt simply be the last to close up shop to the U.S. market???
I read the statement on their "front" page",
how are they any different than the other online cardrooms?

They have the tallest weeds in the garden* ?

Are Team FullTilt members still traveling in and playing in the US ?

*Actually, Doyle is more upfront on this issue, but if you were a prosecutor would you rather fight with the "FullTilt" media-created bunch or an old man who is tough as nails and has a long history of dealing with adversity.

If they are in trouble, they would argue that poker is a game of skill. IMO. Someone on here has listed cases where poker was considered a game of skill, but it never went as far as the Supreme Court.

Full Tilt is one of the many privately held online gaming companies that are not buckling under to the illegal US legislation. Almost all of the sites that pulled out of the US market are publicly held corporations and the pressures and restrictions they have to follow because they are public corporations is why they had to leave the US market. I do believe Full Tilt and other sites are here to stay.

Default Can a whining pro complain about the unskilled masses, yet argue skill

If they believe that then they should stop crying about the hordes of Internet players who mow them down in tournaments........ Annie Duke (altho not FullTilt) is an example of a whining pro whose "born-again" skill mantra would lack credibility... unless she happens to hit a` 2 outer 10 to stay alive.

You tell me, do you think poker is a game "subject to chance", not dominated by chance, but "subject to chance" ?
