I originally wrote this article for a poker magazine but it came out too ‘promotional’ to be published. I realized it might come off that way but I mean every word that follows from the bottom of my heart…. I’ve never been this excited to be apart of something. So read below.

—————————————————————————–

I’ve been approached for numerous sponsorship deals over the past few years and believe that I have finally found one that is a good fit. First and foremost, I am an online poker player, and I’ve spent the majority of my adult life doing just that; playing online poker. It’s defined my life.

It all began on my eighteenth birthday when I registered on a popular online poker room and made a $50 deposit through Western Union. At the time, $50 was gist of my net worth. Some would consider it a bold move for a kid to trust his entire cash capital to an online poker room. But, I had done my homework by comparing reviews, scouring publications, and closely following trends, opinions, and forums. I decided on the one with the best reputation in order to reduce the risk factor. I’m happy I decided to play online poker as the decision has changed my life.

Online poker sites have come and gone over the years. Some have defrauded their users of millions of dollars. Throughout life, I’ve strive to be a fair and honest, and during the course of my short gambling career – ethical. Endorsing any product is not something I take lightly.

Before I committed my name and reputation to this product – and asking several of my good friends to do the same – I did my due diligence and scrutinized the people who currently stand behind VictoryPoker.net. Each has contributed to the online poker industry since its inception and each are extremely respected. All are persons of character, and after inquiries within the industry, I have only received positive feedback. As a team, they are unparalleled. When Victory approached me about becoming a representative, I was notably skeptical. But, after listening to them relate their intentions, purposes, and overall strategies for building a new and innovative product, I became extremely excited.

Unlike other teams, VictoryPoker.netís ambition isn’t to merely amass a squad of pleasing personalities and famous faces. Team Victory is determined to assemble the most versatile, ethical, and select group of professional poker representatives in the industry. And, in my opinion, they have succeeded.

To date, Team Victory includes players Antonio Esfandiari, Brian Rast, Keith Gipson, Paul Wackisa, Dan Bilzerian, Danny Wong, Lee Markholt, David Chicotsky, Alec Torelli, and Sander Lylloff. Together, they enjoy cumulative earnings in the tens of millions of dollars. Esfandiari is iconic, one of the few WPT and WSOP champions, and has played on every season of the TV show High Stakes Poker. Gipson and Rast are consistent winners at Bellagio’s legendary Bobby’s room – where the best compete against each other in nosebleed no-limit and mixed games. Dan Blizerian, is the ultimate badass, an ex-navy seal and gun enthusiast who likes to kick ass and takes names at the poker table. Lee Markholt might be the most respected player in poker and one the best live no-limit players in the world. Danny Wong’s tournament results speak for themselves but he has made a name for himself playing nosebleed Chinese poker.† David Chicotsky was voted Bluff’s 2008 online player of the year and is simply one the best online tournament players in the world. As a whole, I am entirely confident that Team Victory could take on any other pro team- and win.

But more than just being my teammates, fellow team victory pros are my neighbors, my friends, and my rivals across the poker table. We hang out almost daily, wagering on everything from classic gambling games such as golf or backgammon, and or the outrageous, such as guessing how many push-ups our waiter can do and then free-rolling him to hit the amount. We battle each other for hundred-thousand-dollar pots, and then later, meet each other for drinks (on the winnings players tab!). We have the utmost respect for each other on and off the felt, but when we’re gambling, we do our best to bust each other for every last dollar.

More important than being great company, Team Victory is also a group of respected, ethical, professional poker players that are well known for their integrity and character. By representing this product, we don’t just collect endorsement checks; we each put our seal of approval on this poker site. I’m proud to stand beside my friends, peers, and rivals, endorsing what I believe is the safest, most reputable, and undoubtedly the coolest place to enjoy and compete while playing poker.

I am fully confident that, that if you give VictoryPoker.com a chance, it will earn your trust and may just become your preferred sight to play online poker.
