Phil Helmuth leaves UB

[bigdog3580]

Got a tweet from Hellmuth that says he has something big going and will tell us soon.

[ttwarrior1]

helmuth can't go to stars, you actually think negreanu would play 2nd fiddle to phil or vice versa.

[MickChunky]

The writing has been on the wall. I don't understand why anyone relevant would want to be affiliated with UB anymore

[Czu81]

ahh...my internet connection.....

[Czu81]

I bet annie goes to full tilt and phil goes to stars. As to the huge names ub will sign, i have no idea as to who it can be. Maybe Antonio since i dont think he has a big sponsor. maybe scotty?

think the same. Phil is still a huge name.

[zjohnzzz]

like him or not phil helmuth is instant publicity, any site will get lots of exposure signing him

[icancount2one]

My money's on stars or Phil starting his own site

[Nookx]

Interesting to see what is going to develop.

ultimate was my first poker site and you know that feeling when the rivers about to come and you think its going to be the craziest card possible?? the 10 of hearts that gives one person trips, one person a straight and one person a flush.....

that card hit so f*ckin often on that site. it was like a well-known joke in the poker community at the time amongst people who had played there. sometimes the card helps you, sometimes it hurts you, but so often its the wildest sh*t imaginable.

(havent played there in years...only their sister site absolute)

[sonyman]

He could join DoylesRoom site

[spot picker]

wheres hte next step

Where is hellmuth going to sign with next.

[bracerman]

I just noticed on a recent Poker After Dark, that Eric Lindgren is now wearing a Fulltilt patch so maybe there is a chance he might be the "big" name. Same thing with Phil Galfond (OMGClayaiken), he is not patched either. I am surprised, I thought they were both official Fulltilt pros.

I too was surpised Lindgren wasn't patched on the recent PAD too, but there's been nothing in the media to indicate they've severed ties, and his FT site http://www.ericklindgren.com is still up. Galfond has his own site BlueFirePoker that he promotes.

[smitch124]

What exactly did he do at UB that would affect their traffic? It certainly had zip to do with my decision to play there or not.

[bigdog3580]

Phil had a meeting with the FTP peeps last night, he tweeted.

[bigdog3580]

UB picked up Prahlad Friedman

[deep554]

oh yes. less we see of this prick, the better

[lolguy999]

lol why is everybody wondering about where hellmuth is gonna join?

[BeerDog99]

Because it will be interesting who can afford his ego.....

[GUMMO77]

annie duke also leaving

Neither have signed anywhere else, but suppovely ub will be signing huge names.

Never liked the site anyway, don't like tilt or stars either.

Wait ... where do you play?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Thoughts on Hellmuth's level of play?

I think this guy sucks. What a bitch.

[SomeDayinBuffalo]

If I was UB I would want a change. He has been there for sometime. Also I think of crybaby when his name comes up. Would you want your company name coming up with crybaby?
