Full Tilt "Ponzi Scheme" Rantings
Since the US DOJ released their amended complaint on Tuesday
and called Full Tilt a "Ponzi scheme" there has been a ton
of outcry, speculation, rumors, interview, etc from all over
the poker world. Here are a few tidbits that I have been personally
contemplating. Â A few I have expressed, and some I have
not. First, am I really one of the only people that finds it both
ironic and almost hypocritical that the Poker Player's
Alliance is being so vocal during all of this.

The 20 Most Influential People in Poker - #10 - Viktor "Isildur1" Blom
Due to the April 15th indictments, I was forced to rethink
the rest of the Top 20 Most Influential People in Poker
list. In fact, the next player on the list fell about three spots
as a result. Back in late 2009, a new player exploded on the scene. In a
short amount of time, this player took a staggering $5
million from internet superstar Tom Dwan and instantly made
himself a high-stakes legend.

The 20 Most Influential People in Poker - #12 - Tom Dwan
Coming in at #12 on the 20 Most Influential People in Poker
list is a pro that needs next to no introduction. This high-stakes pro is both the envy and the target of
amateurs and pros around the world. He is the first of the
poker "new guard" to rise to superstardom and remains the
most sought after cash-game player in all the world. Yes, #12 is durrrr - or Tom Dwan for the non-online types.

Poker Site Campaign Ad Rejects
I logged onto Full Tilt to play a little Stud Hi-Lo and
inspiration came to me for a new slogan for the site. As
such, I figured I would share some ads that were rejected
from various sites. Â Â (Ad tag line in photo caption. )
*Full Tilt Poker:*
For some reason, Full Tilt thought that trying to convince
people they might actually win would be a better way to go:
*Poker Player Magazine:*
Daniel Negreanu was pegged to be this site's spokesman, but
there were privacy concerns:
You can talk to these guys about
anything.

Durrrr Starring as Nosferatu?
I read recently that durrrr reminds people of a vampire. Â
I was watching a video of him on another site just now and
had paused it to buffer with him smiling. Â I see what
people are talking about. Â However, I don't get where
people thinks he looks like a member of the Twilight
cast.

Durrrr Not Going to the Hall of Fame but May Get Nice Consolation Prize
The ballot for the Poker Hall of Fame is shorter by one name
and that is Tom "durrrr" Dwan. According to Poker Hall of
Fame Governing Council:
"With all due respect to Mr. Dwan, one of the games most
exciting young players, he does not currently meet the
criteria for Hall of Fame selection. We wish him well and
expect he will again be considered once he has âstood
the test of time.
