An alliance of the weak was formed this last few weeks as Victory Poker - formerly the flagship poker room on the growing Everleaf Network joined the home of the rooms involved in the Absolute and UB Poker Scandals, the Cereus network. With a roster of well reputed pros one has to wonder how they will feel about being associated with a network even Phil Hellmuth eventually severed ties with.
Victory Poker had briefly tried to move to the Cake network from the Everleaf Network - a bizarre move after spending a fortune advertising based on the soft, growing Everleaf platform. The Cake network has been relatively stagnant and the quality of the poker games not as soft as they once were. No doubt this move led to some loss of player pool - something had to be done.
With a player pool largely based on twoplustwo readers and other experienced poker players I doubt a move to the Cereus network will be a strong one for them. Many of their player pool have deliberately not opened an account with Cereus because of the history. Surely a move to Merge Gaming where on Black Chip Poker 35% Rakeback, 7% VIP on top and bonuses not deducted would have made more sense for them? A growing network, with a great repuation and great games would have been ideal instead of forging an alliance with a third network in such a short time.
