i've worn my blonde shirt in many casinos at many poker comps and babbled on about DTD to anybody that seems interested. I think i've done my bit.
I'll take the 5k please mr pokerstars. Another 10%/20% of your win on top and you would turn it down!! No chance.
Like I said I have no problem with anyone doing it and I wouldn't even dream of saying someone on here hasn't done their bit for Blonde or DtD. I am just saying I wouldn't be one for calling up Rob and saying "Give me money" I read this story about a WSOP final table player who told sponsors to F off because they never wanted to sponsor him untill he got to the final table and all of a sudden offered him 40k. He just said "you didn't want to know me uptill now, so you can get tea F now as well" I just thought "Good on ya, mate". Like I said if someone were to offer me a sponsorship, a proper one with buying in to several events over a season and all that, I wouldn't say no. But a one time 5k payment so that stars can look good? No, not for me. |

I might just add you can't just wear any old logo come the final, you have to declare your 'loyalty' at the start of the comp, and you can only wear that logo on the final if its the site you name at the start, if you have qualified online then you can only wear blue square..
As for other events its a bit much to ask to wear a shirt for free, if say you make an ept final you can get at LEAST €5k for wearing a poker stars shirt, now i would rather wear DTD but 5k is 5k!
yeah 5k is 5k but incase of the Latest EPT event you got 50k for 8th and more then 100k for 5th. I'd say F the 5k and do some good for DtD or Blonde. (if I had to choose I would go with Blonde but that's mainly because I have been a member of this forum for a long time now and Lord knows if I ever get to the final table at such an event I couldn't have done it without help from Blonde and it's members) If Pokerstars want you to wear one of their shirts all the time after you do well in an EPT or similar event then that's fine but I don't do temporary "off to the highest bidder poker ho" allegiances. To each their own obviously and money is money and all that. But if I've already made 100k I couldn't care less about the extra 5 if it came from someone who has never done anything in the past for me and only wants to tag along to my 15 minutes of fame and will forget about me as soon as it suits them. Atleast I know that if I were to get into that position and make an offer like that to Blonde or Rob it would be appreciated on a personal level and that to me would mean much more then 5k. (especially euro's..they aren't worth a penny anyways  Extraordinary Post. I'm glad I'm not alone in that view. You & me will die poor Sir, but happy! |

boldie i did say 5k at LEAST!
Anyway the point is at the GPT you couldnt just wack any shirt on, you had to decide a few days beforehand, now in Walsall i will not have the constraints of being a qualifier so i will put DTD down on Day 1 and i just hope i get a chance to flash the stuff!
I should also add that i was asked to do an interview in Bolton, the first thing i did after saying yes was nick Chubbs' DTD fleeece!

Now for the female take on this - I would only wear a shirt if it makes my boobs look good. If it makes them look fantastic I'd wear the shirt for free but I'd want to keep it. |
