Anybody who watched the 2005 WSOP broadcast.

You have to take into consideration "marketable" as in someone who's not really into poker but would still recognize the following players.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, anybody your marketing towards is presumably going to be at least somewhat into poker.

Phil Laak is not marketable because he hasn't won anything...
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, he has.

he's just a goddamn clown. He really should not be on the list...
[/ QUOTE ]
He's been on TV a lot. People know who he is, he's a character, he's got a celebrity girlfriend. He's marketable.

The keys to who would make the list are the ones who were thriving during the peak of the poker boom...the ones who got tv coverage in the 2003 WSOP ME, Season 1 and 2 of the WPT
[/ QUOTE ]
That was the beginning of the poker boom. It's still going. Even if you think it's in decline, the viewers toward whom you'd be marketing a current event would be those currently interested in poker, and likely many who just got into it recently.
Agreed with most of the rest of your post.
