tom dwan knows how to get his paper straight. I think he’s to the point where it doesn’t matter if he has sponsorship or not. Either way he’s paid. But then again why not make some extra money for doing what you do anyway.

I read on the forums that David B. got the boot for mentioning his multi accounting on FTP on and episode of PAD… dunno if there is any truth to these rumors as Patrick A. has admitted to doing the same thing and he is still red.

With Benyamine leaving the “red” pro statis and making way for Tom Dwan, I thought the next big pro was Annie Duke jumping ship from UB to FTP. Dwan already plays in the Iveydome. Is the “red” label nearly as important and the 1,000,000 point “personal” avatar? I’m officiating starting a “Where’s Annie?” campaign.

Their list of “pros” were meaningless long ago. When you have over 100 FTP pros, you’ve long gone past the point of being watered down. The rumor I heard was that Benyamine was in talks with getting a deal with Betfair.

My whole point was that if FTP drops names like Benyamine (well-known) and keeps picking up online pros and unrecognizable names, it begins to make their list of “pros” somewhat meaningless. And at a time when good PR might be something for FTP to think about, it strikes me as odd. Just a personal observation.

Ben Hur
Exodus
Anthony and Cleopatra

How? Simple. Old Hollywood with a cast of thousands.

Really a mix of winners — however brief — and all the guys Howard played poker with over the years. Then you throw in all the real ones that are also named in the lawsuit as owners.

As to Drrr, I think Jimmy Fricke would be more interesting. Oops, I forgot about Howard’s memo…

We need to consult Benjo. He’ll know.

***he list of pros, but dropping Benyamine doesnâ€™t exactly make sense***

I’m not so sure I see why this is that big of a deal … either Benyamine did something wrong, or he got a better deal?
