What a great job this must be and i think anyone would enjoy doing this. To get paid just to have your photo taken playing poker must be very nice indeed. I'm free if they need another ambassador!!

Is a huge things to call more player to the game, and guys like this came on board is a huge hit not only for poker but also for him. After Ibra give a negative answer to pokerstars, they have a new name on the table and is a good name, and in the next months will see maybe other good names around and maybe get one more. We all know that this week Cristiano Ronaldo post a photo playing poker with Pair of 7's and in portugal we see regulamentation, we don't know just a speculation, but if goes further, ai ai . . .

This will probably be a good bit of business if people in Brazil get behind him,a big population and has seen a big rise in wealth,though not sure if the government is in favour of gambling and I am sure that a couple of years ago a lot of gambling was illegal.

Nice spot of business from our friends at PokerStars here. Neymar is a great player and it will be interesting to see whether he can play poker well while raking in loads of money for stars. I think on this basis I will get myself a Neymar haircut!

ha ha ha and ha... pokerstars clearly missed the real deal here- instead of neymar junior or senior or something in between, they should have signed a deal with democratic and open minded north korean leader kim jong un. 101% of north koreans would join pokerstars and deposit their wages the same day when they hear about this historic agreement.
What the actual f[][]k did Amaya think about how this deal will help them 2 get new users? The people care about soccer players IRL are either below 18 years old or soccer fans who spend their money on actual things related to the sport (tickets, jersey, cable subscription etc.). Toppest Kek out of all the endorsements this year.

To be a successful poker player, you require many of the same skills needed to be a successful footballer — mental strength is important; resilience, patience, composure, and focus.
," Neymar Jr. said. "When I'm not playing football, playing poker and competing against my teammates on the road or in home games with friends is one of my favorite things to do."
Yet, you will hardly ever talk with your friends about how could Neymar fold those cowboys on a drawheavy board 'cuz these things won't be interesting while he has a real carrier elsewhere IMO.
