Message: [QUOTE="Liveone1, post: 1667844, member: 38392"] Valid point. Personally I think that a company raking in billions annually can afford to fork out over $1 million for a pretty solid long term investment as you speculated. What is it .1% of only a portion of their annual net? They wipe their asses with it, so why not use it as leverage when there is potentially so much to gain from investing it. To state the obvious, PokerStars is an online site. This guy is important to the current online community as you mentioned. He May not be as significant as Daniel, but again we're talking less than .1% here. Not exactly a strenuous overhead. Wouldn't want players switching over to FullTilt when they go bust on Stars especially when you're anticipating a poker boom of astronomical proportions when the US wises up and legalizes poker in years to come. Victor making the move to stars speaks volumes for the sites integrity as far as the existing online poker world is concerned and we can't underestimate the value of this. They need all the star power/potential star power they can handle and then some if they are looking to stay front runners in the gambling industry. Besides, it'll take some serious motivation to get a millionaire to sign a contract when he knows he's talented enough to make the cash without any backing. Now, he's got to lug around a big ball and chain; making appearances, logging a certain amount of hours, being famous and the pressure to win against the pro's (that he once crushed in his boxers) in the spotlight. I think dude could squeeze 7 figures out of them, easy. One things for sure, if he ever needs any representation all he needs to do is hit up Cardschat lol. [/QUOTE]
