You heard it here first, folks.
The Twisted Gambler has just been informed by our ex KGB/FBI/DOT/NASA super-secret spy that Full Tilt Poker has signed a new Red Pro. Following the footsteps of countless “famous” Internet pros, the popular online poker site has managed to sign an icon- The Kool Aid Man. You may remember him from those famous commercials where he would burst through the door, serving Kool Aid to the kids and leaving behind a big ass mess for their parents to clean up.
We had the chance to speak with this outgoing, larger-than-life character via telephone this morning and asked him to share his thoughts on being the next Full Tilt Poker Red Pro.
Twisted Gambler (TG) – Wow, we would have never pegged you for a big online poker player. What did you say when Full Tilt first contacted you about being a Red Pro?
Kool Aid Man (KAM) – OH YEAAHH!
TG – Yup, we’d likely have that same reaction if FTP were to call us with that sort of offer. Are you very excited about the opportunity to share the stage with other Red Pro’s like Chris Ferguson and Phil Ivey?
KAM – OH YEAAHH!
TG – Are there plans for you to play in the 2009 World Series of Poker as part of Team Full Tilt?
KAM – OH YEAAHH!
TG – Very nice, we look forward to seeing you there. It’s rumored that you’re a big NLHE player and while we hate to stir up bad blood, you were apparently banned from Poker Stars for multi-accounting. Is this true and do you have any plans to multi-account at Full Tilt, just like Eli Elezra?
KAM – OH YEAAHH!
TG – Well, thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us today. Are there any words of wisdom you’d like to share with your millions of fans around the world?
KAM – OH YEAAHH! (followed by silence)
At that point we decided that perhaps the Kool Aid Man was much too excited to expand on his reasons for multi-accounting or share any words of wisdom. Regardless, we’re all very excited to see this new player at Full Tilt Poker and wish him the very best!
