Vicky Coren quits Pokerstars Team Pro - Huge respect
From her blog:
http://www.victoriacoren.com/main/blog/archive/goodbyeteampro
''On Friday night, PokerStars.com announced that it will be rolling out online casino gaming alongside its internet poker. As a result, on Saturday morning, I terminated my endorsement contract with them.''
After hearing about the news that Pokerstars will provide casino games, she almost instantly quit.
I don't think less of people who still represent the Pokerstars, especially the ones who aren't super rich, but I hugely respect her decision to stop reprenting the company.
Unlike Daniel Negraeanu who probably read about a quarter of Pokerstars' recent changes, realised he likes his monthly checks and wrote a ridiculous defense of everything Pokerstars has changed, despite calling himself 'real' and 'not politically correct'.
Pokerstars' changes scare me because I'm afraid players like us won't be able to play for much longer.
Games might become nearly unbeatable due to rake, rakeback progams will get worse, fish get pulled away due to gambling games and scripting/crazy bumhunting.
That's why I hugely respect Vicky's decision to quit representing the company, because her values are worth more to her than the money.
I don't quite buy the bit where she says she's afraid of not making enough money without Pokerstars, but quitting sure won't help her financial situation.
Respect to Vicky.
