I'm going to try a few satellites, hopefully they can pay me well too
I thought you had a sponsorship too Matt? only from the shirt though !
Sort of, the picture used as my avatar was taken during the WSOP main event and appeared on the Pokerstars official blog (i didnt know about it until someone who i know from Pokerstars pointed it out to me). As i had won my seat in the event via one of their $650 mtt satellites as part of the package they offered 9 days hotel accomodation free if i agreed to wear their shirts during the event. I asked if i could wear the shirts i'd had made up for the WPT event in the bahamas with my name on and they said it would be ok. They said i may be in trouble if i made the final table as they had a contract allowing logo's only on t-shirts in Binions, i said if i made the final table i would wear whatever they tell me - even a large 8 foot clown suit
I sometimes wear the shirts when playing small festival events or tourneys at the local casinos but i dont get paid for that - i just hope that my opponents see the shirt and think "eh up, he's a sponsored player so he must be good". Unfortunately this plan only works up to the point of the game actually starting!!
