It doesnt happens with everyone. Some even prefer to keep with no sponsor (cant understand why).

Very happy for my countryman. He is a very respected member of the Russian poker forum where I happen to be a member too. He is not a one-day story in poker. His live winnings exceed 1 000 000 $. He is also successful online. He plays on PS under the screen name alex987. He is IceView_ on FT and Resolute77 on Party.
