Poker players are nothing more than billboards

[Rich Boy]

Im watching some poker on TV and all I see is "pokerstars.net" or "fulltiltpoker.net"

Hats, shirts, even coybow hats...

[Reload]

It's pretty much that way now, Rich Boy! Like the boxers tatooing big ads for online casinos across their backs. It's just all one big product placement scheme.

Rheem is a punk.

[flyingillini]

Big money involved

[Slim]

I hate how they go, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. Shut the hell up you didn't know shit.

No so called stars in poker anymore

All the guys that promote the game are no where to be foiund in any toruneys, they keep reverting back to like 4 -5 years ago when they won a bracelet.

Funny, why would you wear all the stupid gear for a few million when you should be able to make that in a couple of weeks?

They are whores basically. Who would want to walk around with a tattoo on forehead saying "property of ..."? Although I hear Deuce got one saying "Michelin" to pay off the loans on his Red Wings futures bets.

Ivey has had a great WSOP year!

[sam9ball]

the thing is that the majority of these guys got sponsored into the tournament thats why all the advertising
Shot they get a freeroll into the biggest life changing event for a few bucks!

[TBranch25]

the sites pay them quite a bit for it

[thesinister]

I don't know!

[johnnypockets]

it's been that way in other sports forever. just extra income

[Roybaugh]

think about it though...your getting sponsored to play in these tournaments you take the opportunity they had wouldn't you?
