Plenty of well know poker players have joined the party poker network , it just seems that they are trying to over come Pokerstars , as there have been a lot of Pokerstars pro that left the fields ... But anyway best of luck to party poker as i am tired of pokerstars and the never ending bad beats
Why would somebody with double digit millions as lifetime earnings need sponsoration from any poker site let alone party? This is at best pennies on the dollar deal for him so I just do not get it why.

well to answer the question above- I guess even if it's not million but still a decent salary for doing nothing basically. some photoshoots, some interviews and voila- money is in your account. and those lifetime winnings do not really show how much he has left... I guess lifetime losses graph along with winnings would make matter more clear.

This guy has been at the very top of the 'High Roller' tournaments for many years now and it is no surprise to see him landing one of these jobs. Well done to him and it is thoroughly deserved

It's interesting to become a partypoker ambassador or another big poker room. This player is one of the most talented and i think it deserves this. Let's not forget that he managed to win over 1 million dollars in a live tournament a few years ago. Good job for Philipp Gruissem.

While i have never heard of him before, he has decent winnings and all that for nine years. More than a million per year if you divide the whole bankroll. And now that he went to party poker, he will be getting extra money for practically nothing
Yeah, but these deals are probably payed out huge amounts of tourney dollars, right? I mean most of these so called ambassadors are not getting their six figure payouts in straight cash, right?

godoy any chance you are using google translator? Cause i can understand your dream. It is one that most of us have winning an amount of money like that. But i do not understand why you are calling them monkeys
Lol. Maybe godoy is a little bit jealous about the fact that some people are winning big money from tournaments, while he is not yet, so he decided to call them that way It's not nice, godoy, it's better to work on your own game and maybe someday you'll get lucky.
