Re: Why are so many [censored] wsop finishers getting Stars contracts?

signing Ray Rahme did make me laugh, he hardly typifies online poker.

I LOL at some of their names but the strategy is clear, they are targeting every countries with potentiality.
I even wrote an email to them that as an Italian I don't see myself looking like Dario Minieri but they have a point, they guy went deep in the WSOP, he has been chip leader for while and in the end the average fish just look at this, they are not digging deep into his results or anything.
Rahme represented well his country, he mentioned it few times during the interviews and this was very smart.
Unfortunately you don't get recognized by the mass only for winning a lot online, Annette was nowhere near as famous as she is right now even though she won almost as much online as live.
I see poker growing in Italy and TV is THE MEAN, all the other news are for aficionados like us.
So I am afraid we need to luckbox a FT at the WSOP to get a contract, no matter how donk or good we are.
