Selling Poker by the Pound

By: Poker Shrink – August 01, 2006

Ah Yes, the Great American instituition commonly known as Branding. Or as it is less kindly called--sticking mindless advertising labels on anything that moves, grows, growls, eats, drinks or takes up space. Despite the current limitations imposed in the WSOP poker rooms, we all know what's coming next--the poker player as a NASCAR decal.

So let's get ahead of the curve here and come up with our best combinations of poker players and advertising opportunites. Use the comment section below to add your favorites. Remember no one is above shameless self promotion or making a buck on your back.

Here are my own first advertising link-ups:

Greg Raymer sponsored in part by Jenny Craig.

Phil Hellmuth for KinderCare Learning Centers.

Men “The Master” Nguyen “All You Can Drink, Baby” brought to you by Corona Light

Macrobiotic Munchies brings you Cyndy Violette

Clonie Gowen for Anorexics Anonymous

Mike Matusow for Mimes of America (I like the Energizer Bunny idea but Mike is just not a "pink" guy)

Jennifer Harman "Defending our Homes and Bedrooms" blasted at you by the NRA

Chris “Jesus” Ferguson The Black Sabbath Reunion Tour ‘07
