No different to slowplaying your flopped nut full house against a fish
yes it is gameshow... and also what you should know is that if evry single person think like you than most likely you will go home with nothing... also its called steal... that actualy mean to take something that isnt actualy yours... which is in this case... and I think stealing is bad, and I wouldnt be friend with some person that stealing is normal and "right thing to do" because maybe he will have "odds" to steal something from me... in Liv case... guy said to here we should split, and she took it as a weaknes... thats just sick greedy motherphucker... I would spit on her face after that... for real...she wanted 3250 pounds more, so she sell herself for that kind of money... i could never be friends with such person....

So many things that can be said here. The first and most obvious of course, is how some people react at some point in their lives. He couldnt say all these while he was with them under a contract? I wonder if there was a condition in the contract, forbidding him to talk about the rights and wrongs of the site , so he kept his mouth shut to avoid a breach

Sthep you should go read Daniel Negreanu blog concerning POkerStars changes very interesting.
I wached live interview with Dany involved with D Negreano, and he desapointed me because he stand on pokerstars side, he is getting a sht tone of money from them, and offcourse he will stand on their side instead of poker players... he fall down in my eyes so much!!!
Posted by IceQueenAce: I used to enjoy watching that show and seeing who are, frankly, to thick to deserve to win.
She should always go steal, everyone should.
If you go steal, you either get 100% or nothing. If you go share, you either get 50% or nothing.
So many people went share! Didn't take long though for people to start realising stealing was the only way to go and after that the game was pointless
Hear hear. It's just mathematics, and bluffing. It would be hard to justify splitting, for a poker player.
As for Haxton, I saw a documentary about him, the other day, and was amazed by the level of self importance and arrogance he displayed. I kept thinking that it could not be real, and it was a mockumentary of some sort. If it was indeed real, I can't imagine any sort of altruistic motive, for his split with poker stars.

I said go read is blog you will see interesting think. I don't know what he said in an interview so can't comment. But one think here it seems that you think having the truth and every one else is wrong.
Just try to open your mind and look what other have to say.

i will never defend a poker room in my life because their only purpose is to gain money from people all over the world not long ago poker-stars was sold for billions and billions of dollars
while you are arguing here , they are enjoying life in their mansions and one thing i learned about companies , they will always try to maximize their profit , their greed is unlimited
but it is business and i respect that .. all we can do is hope some competitors jump on this opportunity and raise their game so finally we can have a worthy opponent for Poker-Stars + Full-Tilt
so to every one defending them : they are only trying to gain the maximum from the players step by step .. so stop trying to prove that this change is for the "players" .. it is only rich men trying to be richer
and to every one against them : they are running a business with thousands of employees .. they saw an opening and they took it , it is purely professional decision because they know they are number 1 in the market and players will keep playing ->

I just love you all, and I dont know how you dont see that only what pokerstars is doing is taking more and more money from players... also I will not anymore post in this thread... I that way I will keep good relationship with all mobsters
