OK.  I get it.  These guys are huge players.  I have a few questions.  Is it all their money or does the website kick in a piece?...or are they partners with the site?  What happens if they run bad and tap out?  Then what?  They start all over from $1-2 PLO Omaha or get someone to back them.  Seems like the money they're playing is a little unreal.

Question: What is the financial arrangement between a pro player and FTP?  How does it differ between different pros like: Ivey, Hansen, Dwan.  Do they just play on the site?  Does the site back the pros in any way, shape or form?  It would make sense for the site to give them a credit line for a piec of the action.  Don't know if anyone outside of a n elite circle would have this information or care to share it.

They just deposit money in Full Tilt like normal people. It's not like a casino with credit lines for the whales you donkey.

The Full Tilt pro's (like Brandon Adams, or Chip Jett for example) get 100% rakeback and an x amount to buy into live tournaments.

Team Full Tilt (with the likes of Ivey, Matusow, Lederer etc.) also get a share of the profits of the site which can run into hundreds of thousands a year (if not more).

Now please contribute something to this forum and quite making posts with retarded questions.

The First question is kinda, non good..

And I can feel CardPlayers frustration, I bet he Megatilted when he wrote it, and lost 66% of his roll taking shot at 500- 1K vs Ivey..


If a Pro busts, he: A) realises the games are changing and go play live..

B) was running superbad and get some stake.

C) Redeposits cuz he wasnt a fking tard who kept all his money online so he could tilt it away.

D) all the above, or something else,
