nice to know, but I think I will not be on the same table as Blom as I can only play at micro stakes as I am not a pro and I do not have such a big bankroll.
Hope that belgian players will be allowed at FTP as I always found it one of the best.

Nice faces to choose as the new ambassadors of FT. It was a bit difficult to immediately identify Viktor Blom on this pic, maybe it was because of the haircut and the suit. Just hope I can put the hands on my cents over there fast, it’s just three weeks away. And then I enter there, I will fur sure not resist to try on playing at a table, and then…

can't wait to get my hands on the full tilt again- will be so nice to bust a roll there great software, great graphics, lots of players, great panda/dracula avatars- probably not so great rewards scheme since pokerstars will influence that a bit on the bad side, but still very eager to have a go at full tilt

Read about early in the morning and couldnt think about anyone better to represent fulltilt but them, some of the biggest names on fulltill who played the biggest pots online poker has ever seen. Really eager to rail dawn playing again too with his real nick (whatever is his pokerstars nick if he has one). Really excited for the fulltilt comeback tbh, wanna see ivey there too =)

this is so cool, considering months before black friday i placed 2nd in the $1 daily dollar and won a cool 1k ....under screen name eloko99..... little did i know i was playing with play chips. any ways i ended up going a lil nutts lol and lost most of my roll, but considering what was going on i still feel like they ''stars or tilt'' should reimburse me in full for finishing 2nd in the daily dollar......I just think its fair considering! ......any body somewhat agree ? ps you dont have to fully agree only partly lol

You couldnt enter the daily dollar with play chips.. You could buy in with FTP points or cash.

baught in with $1 ......considering fulltilt never had my funds in REAL LIFE, it was play chips we were all playing with!....understand?
------------ and i also tried cashing out with no luck weeks before black friday
------------ P.S I wonder if the rail will be the same on the high stake tables?
------------ I am so frustrated with all the other little issues and loose ends that were not resolved fairly, In my opinion players should be refunded every cent deposited, then lost at full tilt poker , considering they really did not have the real money in the first place, it was basically ''ME'' depositing thinking I may have a chance at winning some $, But of course usally lost everything! ......BUT on the other hand FULLTILT ....HEHEHEHEHE even if you won, you were only playing with ciber play chips.SO WTF i want all the MONEY back I deposited on tilt because i thought it was REAL MONEY....makes sense to me any body else? let me know I may have a lawsuit on my hands lol

According to Daniel Negreanu, "Viktor is an online cash game grinder and Full Tilt was well known for its cash games. PokerStars is more geared towards tournaments and the fit makes more sense because all he wants to do is play online".

We wont have to open new accounts (that would have been a huge mess to clear). The old ones will do fine. I bet the one thing will be on fire after the reopening will be the password reminder form Less than three weeks to go.
