as their de-facto PR flack, I'd like you to explain his decision.

Wait a second... is he their agent, or their PR flack? In the state of California isn't it illegal to represent a client as both an agent and also as a PR person? I know an agent and a manager must be separate, I am not positive.
PS: for Olivert - are you going to show your clients this thread? because if you do, I predict you will be fired. Come to think of it, if you don't I predict you will be fired. Smells like fire to me either way!

I am J.J.'s poker agent for the online gaming category ONLY, but I am not J.J.'s entertainment agent and I am not J.J.'s manager.
Dan Alspach is J.J.'s manager.
J.J. currently does not employ a publicist/public relations representative because she currently does not have media demands and obligations to justify hiring one.

The law in the State of California treat entertainment agents, i.e. agents involved with talent for television and film projects for which the talent is being paid explicitly by the TV or film producer, and managers differently, with entertainment agents having to be licensed and bonded.
Furthermore, the entertainment unions in California require agents who represent talent for television and film projects produced by unionized labor to be licensed and registered with the unions.
I do NOT represent J.J. for television or film projects that take place in either California, Florida, New York, or Texas, where licenses and bonds are required in each juristiction.

The law in the State of Nevada requires sports agents who represent athletes who have either finished or have forgone their remaining college sports eligibility to be licensed.
There is a difference between poker agents, sports agents, and entertainment agents.
Poker agents with business entities registered in the State of Nevada, including myself and some of my competitors, currently fall in a gray area that is unregulated with no explicit licensing or bonding requirement in the State of Nevada.
