Default New PartyPoker ads?

I don't know if they're new or I just missed it before, but I saw an ad for PP with someone dealing cards (and performing some mechanics with those cards that might not calm the fears of anyone thinking online poker is rigged). The cards are turned over to reveal "Biggest tournaments" "Most games" and a car. Didn't hear the audio because I was at the gym.

What was funny was how they really downplayed the ".net" part of the PartyPoker.net logo. While the cards are being dealt, there's even a poker chip partially obscuring the ".net" on the table!

I smell a nasty letter from the FCC (they've done it for less)...

You're right. It's the Justice Department, which is even worse.

Nice hand. Last time I got that flop, I lost to some luckbox who called a big preflop raise and then flopped a set of Most Games.

I had some success in the Party tournaments recently. Withdrew some and bought myself a car. I want a "I won this car playing on Party Poker" sticker!

Apart from that, why is that spanking new car in the advert? I don't see where you can win one unless you do what I did I suppose.

What I don't get is that Party has about a gazillion dollars (well...pounds), and they can't spring for a higher budget commercial.

It's like the local car insurance ads that run at noon.

I saw those commercials...I agree about the card shuffling. It can't help matters [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But recently I've seen the Chris Moneymaker commercial where he promotes pokerstars.COM

I wonder...
