Rent a pro poker player

Filed in archive Gambling General on May 14, 2007

At RounderAuction.com, professional poker players are offering to "rent" their services for the 2007 World Series of Poker. Rounder Auction is the first website of its kind to link everyday folks to poker pros willing to potentially put millions of dollars into their hands.

Vacationing at Las Vegas or a local casino can be reminiscent of childhood arcades gone wild. The view of poker players sitting at never ending poker tables evokes all kinds of memories of card game rivalries and entertainment. The vision of the single lone wolf grinding it out at the tables is also changing.

Poker fans don't need to know a lick about poker to take part in an exciting interactive poker experience. According to Rounder Auction Director, Paula Morton poker fans stuck at home or on vacation can now get involved in the poker boom by "renting" a poker pro that fits their entertainment budget.

"At RounderAuction.com professional poker players place themselves up for rent through auctions. You can rent a poker pro with a small portion of your entertainment budget and then grab some popcorn to watch him or her increase your loot. Where else can you pay for entertainment and have a shot at getting money back? No one expects the usher at the movies to return your ticket and nachos money on the way out of the theater, but that is exactly the expectation you can have when renting a poker pro."

Rounder Auction is a one stop-shopping site for poker enthusiast and poker players. This company provides free information about poker pros, available tournament and cash game deals, advice on how to evaluate a player, and a free-to-all sample sponsorship contact which can be used to clarify terms when renting a pro.

For those not finding exactly the poker professional or budget they want, Rounder Auction provides more resources. Anyone can place a customized deal in the Sponsor Project area for $1.95. This allows an individual to give poker pros the exact details for a deal. If any pros are interested they can respond to the listing and the sponsor can decide if he or she wants to make a deal. In addition a nice perk of becoming a poker sponsor is that Rounder Auction automatically upgrades your membership to VIP status and all Sponsor Project postings are subsequently free.

Since the World Series of Poker is just around the corner there is a rush of interest in poker professionals offering to share up to 50% of their winnings with their sponsor. Renting a Pro and receiving ten million dollars ($10,000,000) - now that's entertainment.
