Pokerstars Pro’s banned from Poker After Dark Show
Posted by Curtom | January 23, 2009 | Posted in: Articles, News | Comments (2)You won’t be seeing the likes of Dan Negreanu, Greg Raymer, Joe Hachem or any other Pokerstars Pro’s on Poker After Dark anymore. Pokerstars has banned its player from participating on what is considered one of the best TV poker cash game shows ever, Poker After Dark.
Apparently the European version and how it is marketed has a bit too much of a Full Tilt “spin” to it. Very interesting indeed. I have watched the show since it first came on TV and it never seemed to lean one way or the other. Maybe it’s just me. I don’t know. What I do know is that this hurts one of the best cash game shows on TV in my opinion. As much as I loath Negreanus chattiness I love his game. He can flat out play and cash games are his domain. I also enjoy watching Greg Raymer too. Time will tell I suppose. Let’s hope they can solve this sooner than later.

Well CIII, perhaps when their ratings drop dramatically because they’ll be missing some of the greatest names in poker today they’ll realize the error of their ways and reverse this decision. I’ve never noticed any bias towards Full Tilt, either.
What up Paul? Thanks for dropping in dude. Yeah, time will tell I suppose but this is getting kinda nutty. These guys are fighting for every inch of advertising space and TV exposure. I suppose it’s just the nature of the game but it sure sucks for the fans.
