When he doesn't have millions of social media followers who would be new to poker like Neymar Jr. does.

Could see Stars having a bit of frozen rabbit syndrome though, where in the face of uncertainty they just do nothing, unless they're incredibly desperate for those extra $3 million a year. They seem to be having trouble even letting go of Tyler Frost. And all he plays these days are microstakes games, and not just for streaming purposes.

Maybe it's one question, whether DNegs' contributions to the company justify a seven-figure salary, and another whether Stars would ever let him go even if he's become obsolete.
haha that so true. i see the guy at nl2 and im like wtf. look his twitch and theres no streaming live. i see the guy a lot at micro.

He's been doing this for a while now too, it's not new - and Stars just renewed his contract at the beginning of the year.

Apparently the members of Team Online don't cost much to retain - but even then, maybe some of them might be costing more than the value they're adding.

Not sure what Stars thinks people think when they look at some of these Team Online pros, but when one opens up tables of 10nl to try and complete a challenge for a dollar or two, and then has to play a sponsored pro with over a million lifetime vpps, it can be pretty discouraging. Like if someone with that much experience and a cushy rakeback deal that the rest of us don't have has to play 10nl, what chance do the rest of us have who only have the time to play a couple of times a week?

It looks like most of the time he plays 25nl regular tables, but yeah saw him playing as low as 2nl zoom as well.

Those are interesting points about Neymar and Ronaldo's followers versus Dnegs.

There is no way you "know" that. As the joke goes, confirmed by independently thinking about it.

True, I don't know that but wasn't it stated somewhere they were paying Neymar in the neighborhood of 10M a year? It seems accepted Negreanu is on the payroll for around 1-1.5 million. If Neymar and Ronaldo are actually being paid the same as Negreanu it makes the question of value even more pointed.

Wow. And the first articles on google actually say Negreanu might be getting up to 4 million. That's nuts.
