Could get pretty much any sponsorship deal that he wanted, but declines because he doesn't want to advertise for online poker, because he doesn't play online poker.
A PS sponsorship is ridiculously valuable. I know he is making a sick ammount of money at the FT of the WSOP ME, but he is probably throwing away 6 figures/year.
maybe his principles are more important to him...gotta respect each mans decision
having said that..i would take it any day of the week :0
I felt the same way as him, on a much smaller scale. I turned down free money from Ultimate Bet, hoping to get something from Full Tilt instead. I just didn't feel right wearing an Ultimate bet hat and patch when I've never played there. :(
also endorsing a site like UB will prob make you feel dirty, I personally cld never play on site that has openly cheated and robbed their customers.
To this day they still have failed to release all superuser account names!!1
You know that it's owned by different people now, and that the new owners reimbursed everybody who was victimized, right? I mean, I don't like UB much either, but UB today<>UB 3 years ago.Quote:

2+2 basically boycotting the site is why it is so soft right now!!!!
And Darvin Moon is who I'm rooting for.

Darvin Moon did an interview with Phil Gordon. He told him he would take a deal with any of the Poker sites, but, on his terms. Contact his atty. He said he did not want to travel for promotional reasons. He only wants to play at some of the tournaments of his choice.
He has already had guest appearance in Wheeling since he made the final table. In the end, I would prop bet that he lands some sort of sponsorship deal. I think the dollar signs will get to his head over time, and he'll give in. I mean what poker player wouldn't love to freeroll for the next 5 years or so? As bandwagon as this may seem, I am rooting for Phil Ivey. He's got a ton of catching up to do, but it would be great to seem him win the ME. Especially since he is at the top of his game right now, and one of the best, if not the best in the world right now.Quote:

One of my favorite fighters is miguel torres who was the 135 champ in wec. After he became champion he got offered a deal from ecko but he had to wear a hat after his fights and miguel said he never wears hats and is not gone to start just for money.
I think whats best for poker is probably ivey getting hu with moon and getting beat:)
and then next year annette wins it all
if those tings happen, retirement at 35 for everybody!
