Hellmuth - An Exhibition of Whoreness

[KingCon]

Maybe he will use some of that dough and visit a tanning bed. He looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy with his shirt off

A successful poker player shoulsn't have to sell out his dignity to make a buck. That said, I'm not so sure Hellmuth truly understands what a joke all of his merchandise is. I'm reasonably certain he thinks he looks very sexy on his chip set.

Selling out is very +EV. A reasonable poker player makes +EV decisions.

If you can look at the pictures on those poker chips and not figure out why he might be expected to feel like a douche, than this argument is pretty much pointless. Selling your likeness to morons is one thing, but I would feel physically ill posing for those pictures. That's why I'd feel like a douche. I wouldn't mind if he was selling a quality product with just a touch of class. But this is just depressing.

How is this any different than Michael Jordan doing adds for batteries and underwear?

jordan's actual face is sparingly used on products. And Michael is by most standards good looking

Btw, I'm not even sure it's a fact that his face or silhoutte is on any batteries or underwear. He may endorse them but I haven't seen underwear with Michael's head on them or MJ Batteries

Even so--Jordan is sponsored by large companies and he doesn't have to try to make a buck off a company selling chip sets on the internet who may inadvertantly make him look stupid.

When I see this I think of Krusty the Clown and how he constantly puts his face on anything and it looks hilarious.

Um, yeah. Only dignity doesn't begin and end with people on a poker forum. Pride has nothing to do with what other people think of you. Except in the case of swallowing one's pride, which Hellmuth seems to excel at. If I were in his position, I wouldn't do it because I'd feel like the most gigantic douche ever. Obviously, you're not concerned with something like feeling, personally, like a gigantic douche.
