Daniel, I was just wondering why you chose Poker Mountain over Full Tilt especially bec you're friends (Jennifer, E-DOG, JJ) are on there and they say they like it a lot. I played 3/6 O8 with Jennifer last night and Razz with JJ a couple of nights ago and they both said they loved the site. Is it that PM offered you more money? If it is, then great decision! I'm never one to pass up more money or is it that you wanted to differentiate yourself from the other pros?
You shouldn't criticize someone until you walk a mile in their shoes; that way when you do, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Assuming they're all sharing a part of the site's profits, it doesn't really make sense for any additional pros to join their ranks..I imagine the portion of the net profit that goes to the pros (which is sizable, considering some have additional shares for writing the software and/or contracting the software engineers for the site) is split about twenty ways. Keep in mind that this is entirely speculation.. I assume that once a player locks the sufficient number of contractually required hours of play on the site, they cut them a check for their share of the profits relative to the player's relative importance to the site (original member, good track record on meeting play requirements, software/site design work, initial investment share).Pokermountain has 2 "celebrity" endorsements. I will leave the math to you.-adamps yes, i'm fully aware that PM may pay TJ/Dan according to other criteria, but that isn't particularly relevant given the second paragraph.
