It must be a great life being famous, you get paid bucketloads of money for your day job and then you get more for these endorsements.If he is half at good at poker as he is at football, he'll make even more money!!

I just hope Suarez doesn't start biting people when he gets beat. Wouldn't that be funny,imagine the pros looking on as he takes a chunk out of someones arm.

Good for him, i understand this part is also important for 888poker but i would like if more of those contracts would be spent on players bonuses, after all them are the rake producers, not sport players...
So far 888 had great promos for members but i have a strange feeling that it already started to change.

Of all the footballers you could choose they choose the racist crying biting diver. Fair play. At least we should get a special 888freeroll for him joining soon(Which 888 usual does if something is special enough)

erm what, out of all famous footballer ud think he would be the least suited for poker considering how he gets rather ummm angry, or titly, whatever so easily
but for all i know, he might be awesome poker player though. and its a great marketing move regardless of his poker skills. Considering how many ppl watch football, its a good thing not just for 888 but online poker in general, so i like it

Nice huge pay check for him through sponsoring and good luck to him in his poker plays, would be fun to watch him play poker and being a Liverpool fan, i wish him the best luck in poker and football and hope he stays at Liverpool for next season as he was instrumental for us this season, though we came 2nd. Anyway cheers best player in the world right now and good luck to him in WC!

I had a little chuckle and a humpf when I saw the news about 888's latest signing. What a coup for them. Despite his history, he still wins player of the year and gets a contract with 888. Smart move cos all the Liverpool fans will blindly follow him, na d so they not only will all be moving their poker wallets to 888, they will no doubt follow him to Real Madrid !!!!!!!!!!!!
FUrthermore, do you think he will be any good at hiding his tells?

if suarez is a racist then so is john terry frank lamoard steven gerrard wyne rooney and the rest of the english team.....
------------ steven gerrard wouldnt let him take 8 penalties that would have made him the all time highest scorer in a epl season..... pure racism just so they could protect shearer record

I also got the email from 888poker about his new contract with 888...
There are several freerolls worth 1000 dollars that will play daily for couple of days or so, i presume they will be over crowded so i'm not sure if they are really profitable.

Well that's an odd signing - but you can see how they are trying to appeal to sports fans from a range of different areas. Plus with the World Cup coming up they'll be hoping to hype poker up and make some dough.
