Ftp + Cr = :(

Fildy,

That was someone trying to make a joke, but they weren't really successful at it.

I know he wasn't playing serious, and fwiw I think some of the stuff he does/says is funny, whats even funnier is that there are undoubtedly people who listen/watch that and go "oh hmmm twilight strat, i should try that"

2+2....very long thread there. Lots of complaining and worthless posts. A lot of people don't like it either...others don't care.

Looks like players on pro tables get back all money they've lost directly to the pro, as per the post below:

Full Tilt will be making an exception to their “one account per player” policy for Cardrunners pros with the following stipulations:

-The "alternate" account will only be used for the creation of educational video content.
-At the end of every recorded session (on an alternate account), every player that played with the CR pro will be notified via email to explain what happened. In addition, they will be given a small token of appreciation (most likely FTP points) for their participation.
-Anyone who loses money directly to the CardRunners pro will be given additional compensation for their loss.

I wouldn't be shocked, but I'd be surprised to see a full reimbursemnt of cash. I don't like this at all though.

If you were an unknowing fish and got an email all of a sudden from FTP stating that I was playing against a pro who was filming a tutorial for other wanna be pros, how would you react?

Bad? Yes, but it's not going to "kill" what's left of the games. It sure ain't gonna help either!

Pretty much every NLHE video except CTS is terrible on there anyway. Deucescracked and leggopoker put out way better NLHE videos.

I cancelled my subscription to Cardrunners and cashed out all my money from FTP because this is a terrible decision, especially FTP as this decision is extremely clueless and serves no purpose for them other than backlash.

I think im gone too!!

I understand being upset about this to some degree (I did start this thread), but cashing out and leaving the site forever because of it? That seems a bit extreme, don't you think?

I think the CR guys just found a goldmine of free advertising, but I honestly don't think it's going to change the games THAT MUCH. I mean, do you guys really think you won't be able to beat the games any more or that your win rate will drop significantly because of this?

I'm more disappointed that FT would do this than anything... but I'm not afraid to the point that I'm running for the hills.
