I think this trumps adverse effects of monopolization by far.

Few people suggesting that only FTP will return to US market as stars signed an agreement with DOJ that FTP never did?

I got excited, until I remembered I still wouldn't be able to play unless I moved to freakin canada

lol @ ftp reopening in the US market...

There will be absolutely no competition and Stars will be able to do whatever the hell they want. Would certainly be a smart move for them if FTP is even the least bit viable as a business. if that is true stars has absolutely no competition by almost a year, did they increase the rake? no actually they decreased it! you can be right but its not gonna be that much worse, btw i only think stars decreased rake because of the state of world economy.

god this is completely fucking wrong bro, they increased their overall rake income via increasing rake expense to regs who don't play like 50%+ of the hands they're dealt

fuck I hate the power of marketing sometimes

How could FTP reopen in Us? Sounds like horseshit to me.

Yea. Solid reminder not to get too excited, as random people and their confidential sources are likely full of shit.

this is trolling at its finest

PS comment pretty much saying they can't say anything. Probably means they won't for a while oh well.
