Absolute/Ultimate drop pros

[Talking Poker]

I heard about this the other day. In the release that I read, they said that these pros will continue to promote the sites in Europe, but will cease to promote them here in the U.S.

I see they still list everyone on , but their faces aren't splattered all over the main page of the site any more.

It will be interesting to see what these guys wear during future televised tourneys. I can't even picture Hellmuth NOT wearing UB crap.

I thought this might happen. Will be very interested to see what FTP does with as many pros as they have signed.

thats full tilts claim to fame!!!! play with the pro's.

if they are releasing their pros, they might not let US players play any more thats what im guessin, dont u guys think that might happen

[Talking Poker]

They have specifically stated that this is not the plan... so.... no. At least not in the immediate future.

[Ando05]

thats good news..

[Reel Deal]

I don't see the correlation.

[Ando05]

well most of the players go play at the sites because of the pros that are there. like pokerstars got big because all the world chams from 2003-2005 are there, and full tilt has all those pros, i dont think they would have half the people if it was not for the pros

So you think Party Poker was the most popular poker site in the world forever because.... Mike Sexton endorsed it?

Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.
