Makes no sense. You have people like Goldeneyehd and beyne not sponsored, yet you have a donk called "james666" who hardly plays on the site as a PKR pro. Someone explain please

Guy who can bring the most fish to PKR. James is probably an ok choice, golden would be a pretty horrific choice.

Signing up pokerpro's to bring in fish is like the worst business decision ever.

It worked for full tilt. Though they did have to give away like half their company.

Nah, I dont think Full Tilt really benefits from their pro's. I mean come on, how many famous pro's do they have? Most of them are people I never heard of. Becoming a red pro is more an extra rakebacktier, not advertising.
You want to play with Phil Ivey? Ok, bring $100.000 and you can have a shot. And nobody knows who phil ivey is, the only people who know him are quite familiar with poker already.

If you want to hire people to attract more new players you should seek it in the general famous people area. Like ask the national soccer team to play a special tournament. Perhaps you can get 6-7 onboard and you have a huge marketingpotential. Who cares if you can tell people the next day you busted KingKai/James666/randompro? If you can tell you busted Beckham or something, then you have a story!
Big movie premiere? Try to get the lead actors to play a special tourney!
Hiring 'offline' non pokerpro's has much more marketing potential then hiring a bunch of angry internetkids imo.

lol to be sponsored is not an immediate suggestion you are the best on the site.

they have to be marketable(hames), fun and interesting in the live arena(james) , with pkr they have to be able to interact and create someinterest within the community ie give them someone to follow whom they feel they know (me), be nice amicable at the tables(kai) be able to represent diffferent areas within europe pokey/kai scandis, calll me babe ireland, the rest english (obv their biggest customer source)

also have to be able to prodce content for the site in terms of strategy etc(golfpro), and be different to the rest of the team in terms of style which we are all deffo different, all of us have some/all of the qualities as well as being successful players to varying levels, we arent maybe everyones idea of the best players on the site but we are in mine and others opinion some of the best for representing this site in terms of the whole package.
