I hate that victory poker signs porn models to their site, not that i hate porn models but i think its a slap in the face when theres plenty of deserving grinders unsigned and Sara Underwood has a phat poker deal,

She was on poker2nite with scott huff talking about how shes taking poker serious and she wants to make this a career. Im not fuc*in retarded victory poker, shes not a serious pro, if i wan porn ill go to porn sites and if i want to play poker ill stay away from your site. btw look how ugly the owner of victory poker is,

dude use some of that cash to fix your teeth. I have alota respect for andrew robls game but that dude should move away from that site. heres a link he tweeted earlier today that illustrates the point i was making.

YGOS?

no just want porn and poker separated.

I wanted to keep this under Views, but its been moved to victory poker where its sure to never been seen.

its called marketing....

op is a dink toucher

Sara Underwood is not a porn star. She's the Playboy Playmate of the Year and out of her 4 tournaments that she's played she final tabled twice and in the WPT Invitational she came in 51st out of 600 something players which doesn't seem too bad after just a few months of training.

You may be confused with Ultimate Bet signing a porn star today.

But she seems nice and likes poker so I have nothing against them doing that.

Besides the 19 male pro players with 30 million dollars in tournament earnings I sign, I also involve Playboy Playmates and hire models because there's millions of boys & girls that enjoy that around the world. Sara Underwoods youtube videos have hundreds of thousands of views and she is a sweet girl that has taken poker quite seriously.
She just travelled to 4 countries with us for conventions/events and is playing multiple tournaments in the WSOP starting next weekend.

The girls that have skills/success in the industry like Annette are already signed to other sites.
So I decided to have my team of Pro's train the Playmate of the Year to learn the game that she enjoys. I got lucky in the fact that she loves it and has done much better then I expected by final tabling those 2 events that had 80 to 120 players in them.

If you click here http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/partypoker.com
you'll notice that Party Poker has a large % of their click thru's to the website coming in from Porn sites. Young men enjoy porn and poker, so that's how they and many other companies market.

As far as my personal looks, I'm a happy camper and have done o.k. in the dating scene. You dont have to play on my site and you dont have to like the way I look but you should be respectful as a human being.
Sara is just working hard to further her career and I'm just focused on building a brand that supports charity and fun for the whole industry.

OP your an idiot.

first of all i said robl was a good signing, and wasnt in anyway critical of the serious players you signed. yea victory isnt the only one doing it, other sites that are desperate for traffic are sinking to your level, "Playboy Playmate of the Year and out of her 4 tournaments", so playboy isnt porn? and four tournys makes her a serious poker player? im not a fuc***g moron, i understand that your using her looks to drive traffic to you site, but its sad. all im saying is if i want to see sara naked ill pay the 8 bucks and buy the magazines that shes in and when i want to play poker ill go to a website that doesn't parade hot chicks around as pro players. i didnt know Vpceo was on this site or i would have sent you a pm about your teeth, if your friends haven't said anything about that to you... then you have no friends cause those things are jacked. how may hands had sara played before you signed her? under a hundo?

rofl op you're an idiot. You're either

A) gos
B) one of the "feminist" people no one likes
C) completely clueless when it comes to marketing/ brand recognition techniques

victory poker has set themselves as the "pipe dream" poker site, their image is fast cars, lots of money, hot girls etc , signing playmates just furthers this brand image.

you don't sign people simply because they are good at poker, this is true for literally every sponsor related industry. Sure there are people like phil ivey who promote traffic because they are the best, however most spokespeople are likable people first and exceptional poker players, athletes etc second. Take DN sure he's good a poker but he's defiantly not the best. So why is he the spokesperson for ps? because he's recognizable and therefore marketable plain and simple. Same reason antonio and sara are the faces of VP, they are well known, marketable people who fit the image VP is trying to create.

o and lol at taking personal shots at the guys pic, as you safely hide behind your monitor, post your pic keyboard warrior.

OP, you know there are far easier ways to tell people that you are gay,

nike wants to sell shoes to runnners, they find a pole dancer to promote it? no why should poker be different?

Your a dumbass sir - there isnt much more to say.

ye you're right, they defiantly used maria sharapova based solely on her tennis skills.

this is ofc completely ignoring the obvious: the target audience for a poker sight is significantly different than nike's target audience for running shoes.

yea im the dumbass, really for two reasons
1) im trying to win an argument on the internet with a bunch of morons
2) wasting my time arguing with a site that will be closed soon

[IMG][/IMG]

maria sharapova is former World No. 1 Russian professional tennis player and three time Grand Slam singles champion, and she is ranked No. 13 in the world. im not saying companies dont play up the accomplishments of attractive women to market things, but where else is a playboy playmate with no experience in a sport prodded around as a professional. name one? name ******g one. argument stops until someone drops the name.
