I asked WSOP Academy to sponsor me, an amateur, playing at local casinos to advertise for them. Nothing doing.

I don't know about how much pressure there is in that situation. Especially since it sounds like a free roll to me.Mitchell Cogerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535441676137750538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896782453039680129.post-46296107596348686212011-02-26T08:13:19.606-08:002011-02-26T08:13:19.606-08:00I agree as well.

So all the live tourneys the site wants them to play in is paid for as well. <br />Although they may have lots of pressure on them to place well or risk being dumped. <br />I think paying them a fee for wearing the logo or other advertisement is fine. Maybe give them 100% rake back but let it be their money that they play with. If you check Full Tilt you will see a couple of pros always playing in the micro stakes. I heard they get paid by the hour to play so what they are doing is cheating that system. They play .01/.02 or .05/.10 and make I think $16 an hour (that's what I heard, could be more) They are there way too much that they must have family or friends (or God forbid a bot) playing for them.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09965189576655597034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896782453039680129.post-88660950671483370332011-02-26T05:36:04.497-08:002011-02-26T05:36:04.497-08:00Thanks for the feedback!

I'm not sure things will change even if your opinion is shared by the majority because its such a cost effective way for the sites to sponsor players. <br /><br />But there can be little argument that it does influence the game. Anyone who has played a freeroll will know that.MBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404729484594219550noreply@blogger.com
