I 'm not trying to mock, but I don't fully understand why being sponsored and wearing branded garb at an event is a bad thing?
Would be interested to here the case against.

nothing wrong with it - depends on who the sponsor is though. |

I'd do a devilfish and ask the sponsors to make me a badge that I could put on my own clothing. The colours would need to match though......can be seen out in unsavoury threads  It's a difficult one. If I was getting a good percentage of what I won, I reckon I might go for it so long as the sponsors were respectable. |

I think that's the point Claire's making. I'm sure she'd be as happy as most of us to be sponsored to play in these events that we otherwise wouldn't be able to enter (at least not on a regular basis), but where would you draw the line in terms of the sponsor.

I disagree, and I hope you're wrong - don't shatter my illusions of mankind! I think the vast majority of poker players certainly would. Obviously anyone mega rich, a superstar of the game or a celebrity might have the luxury of picking and choosing. But for the remaining 99% of us, they would do a lot worse than wear a shirt with a poker rooms name on. Johnybax and Eric Lynch are both highly successful players, but they still jumped at the chance at wearing UB logos, even though it was always going to be widely criticised. I wonder what the worse possible shirt we all would wear would be for a free ride into the WSOPE main event? How many people would wear a Gary Glitter tour t-shirt to snag a seat in that one? |
