How come Poker Tournament organisers can't advertise correctly?
What is it with Tournament Advertising in this country?Not only is every ad for poker(bar the Pokerstars and full tilt ones) horribly uninforming, It is always Cheesy "pocket aces thrown down" "high chips splashing all over the place" crap like that.Its almost as if people don't know how intelligent a poker audience is.even the Casino events are off the mark in their Drawcards and AdvertisingFrom Star City- 2003 World Series Champion Chris Moneymaker and Joker Poker presenter Lee Nelson are just two of the big names taking their seats in the Main Event. They will be seated alongside other members of Team Pokerstars like Isabelle 'No Mercy' Mercier and Luca Pagano.Now, there is no doubt APPT has set the benchmark this time around, but most of the draw has come from the fact that Danny et al, have been out there word-of-mouthing the event EVERYWHERE to everyone.Would anyone who was not a poker player passing by that sign know who Ms Mercier was, or who Luca Pagano was?!?! or would they even know that this would be a filmed event?Just seems sometimes that one foot is going left and dancing brilliantly(Danny) and the other is shitting it all up(Star City).** other stupid ads-1. James Potter DVD- 2.3 inches with a minimised JPEG bordered in blue on a back page of bluff2. Poker Millions Tour3. APL ad with the Kiwi and the Granny4. The one on the screen at crown with the chick throwing $5 into about a $300 pot...
