according to hendonmob he made the 10th place in a wsop charity event, i would say that doesn't really qualify him for sponsoring. but pokerstars is sponsoring many players that are well known, though being no great poker players.

Katja Tater is one of germanys finest poker players! Oo she is not a celebrity.
i have to admit here however that we have much less quality poker players then the USA, canada or great britain. the scandinavians also have more great poker players i guess. and the irish...

Looks like full tilt got all the poker players, so pokerstars is taking on actors to fill the void, jus anouther big sad joke, ok the guy can play a bit, but thats not why they want him. Lots of better players than him out ther LOTS, but none have a face on TV, bet he gets a better deal than most of the outher pros there too. Anouther one to just open tables join tourns then unreister i guess.

Naturely. He is a rep, he should bring in new players. There is little point in signing someone who is unknown outside the pokerworld.
By the way. Would Guy play on stars, all the "big" pros would follow.

I understand that, its a busniess. But it makes a mockery of the poker world. So what he has played a few WSOP, id play them too if I had his money. Now this chit poker player, and he is chit, is going to get loads of free advice and for what cus he was on TV, is that what poker is about now TV stars who cant play poker. And like GeneYuss said is Raymond next, hes playd a few WSOP. Lets drop all the real poker players who struggled to get were they are and playd the fields to earn respect and have TV stars instead. we can call it TVSTARS It a joke.

So you like rooms like NoiQ better, who canibalize their networks, then stars who tries to get in fresh blood (and money)?

NO no not saying that, i play stars, what im saying is that there is a 1000s of outher POKER PLAYERS that deserve the spot. I think you missunderstand me compleatly. What im saying is Seinfeld is not there for his poker ability, just a random star who happens to play once in a blue moon, id say the same about any outher tv star that does not have poker credability. NoiQ has nothing to do with this nor any outher site. Yes its good they have fresh blood, but who wants to play a donk who is getting bankrolled. He is random, you think he would stand a chance if he wasent Seinfeld. Its Boris all over again. I have nothing agains Seinfeld himself, hes a great comedian.

I think it's smart of Pokerstars to hire spokesman that do other things. Cause they bring in hockey fans, Seinfield fans, soccer fans, etc. Same thing like when the UFC brought in Brock Lesnar from Wrestling.
