i was bored watching the durr challenge then i scrolled down to see mekhi phiefer 8 tabling 2-4 cash with not a single full buy in on any of the tables while raise folding almost every pot.

Maybe he doesn't have any new movie gigs? Also why is Bruce Buffer a red pro?

i didn't know he was a red pro either now someone has to make a thread about that too. Seriously tho i think its random that actors and such can just get sponsored when they probably are lifetime losers in the game.Originally Posted by Flopnuts1

its all about promotion. if people who dont play poker see Bruce Buffer etc on something saying he plays at Full Tilt then they'll think "oh he plays poker? i might give it a try, seen as he plays there i'll play there too" and it equals more $ for Full Tilt. FT dont care if these sponsored people are winners or losers

Really don't see how u can't understand why FTP would do this. He and baffer can do slot more promotionaly for them than like 90% of the real pros and all they have to do is give them a few thousand in chips a year. -

yeah i originally thought that it probably was for promotion reasons and to attract more players. It just caught me off guard that mekhi is 8 tabling and losing badly it just didn't make sense to me right away.Originally Posted by dannyg1989

Yeah i'm impressed he took time to do that i want to get it in of those private games he speaks of with celebs throwing around money at 5-10 to 25-50nl thats sick. I guess if it will bring more fish to the tables then sure keep signing up celebs as pros whether they're real red pros or just friends of full tiltOriginally Posted by TheWhitePele

bruce actually plays a lot of poker, I think he just took down some celeb tournament or somethin for $75k. He was just on PAD...and I think if im not mistaken, he's cashed in the ME on more than 1 occasion...he's been a pro on FTP forever now tho...Mehki Phifer tho..lol. He's almost as good as Michael Craig

i'd bet mekhi is a better player than Michael craig. i think theres nothing wrong with the red pros who are "friends of full tilt" i dont even think tilt would call Mekhi a pro...but im sure he's good for attracting more fish to the game, and he seems really pleasant and cool over in that 2+2 thread

Lots of people respect him so Full Tilt are capitalising and using this as a marketing tool. Just like stars brought in Sports Stars, they are branching out to appeal to a broader range of people.

Be a "realist" to your friends. Why you feel the need to clown his name in a public forum is unknown to me. There's a good chance he's getting a lot of other well known people into poker which would make him an amazing ambassador for the sport and all you can do is insult his game on a public forum.
