Does Ronaldo even play at pokerstars?I am sure Neymar had a few issues with poker when he was younger though that could just be media spin.Not a great advert in my opinion but it seems the young and dumb do follow celebs like sheep.

well honestly it's way better to have a bunch of superstars (sports, music, porn etc.) on your roster than a bunch of poker pros. after-all stars are aiming at attracting and keeping customers who are recreational players and they are more influenced by the ronaldo's and bieber's of this world rather than duhamel's or raymer's.
