Ok so not condoms yet....though I imagine the all-in sheiky sheik is on the way.Seriously tho, I just get annoyed with all these endorsements. Jealous? Ok, I'd probably do the same thing for a few extra bucks. But can't we stick to "ads" like in magazines. Do I really have to read about it on a live update blog from Johnny Chan about his new All In Energy Drink that he credits for his success and that it brings him luck? Seems a little pathetic.Anyone else annoyed by all this. Again,, not saying it's wrong, I'd probably do it too if they paid me 50g's to say something good about some product if I somewhat enjoyed it/liked it. But still....

I think he would rather have his name spelled right, but that's just me.

Nah, I get it, I know, I know. But it just seems.....weird, odd, even a little "dirty" hearing guys like Hellmuth/Chan do it. Like Jordan selling shoes....that works, doesn't seem so crazy or out of place, plus he's a naturally gifted spokesman/salesman, the guy has lots of charisma. When you are reading or hearing these one-liners from poker players, it always comes off very unprofessional and shallow.So I'm not saying it's not right or that it's wrong, we'd all do it, I'm saying that it's annoying.
