These days we rarely see Daniel Negreanu without a GGPoker hat, Phenom Poker patches seem to be cropping up everywhere, and CoinPoker appears to be announcing a new ambassador every other week.
There’s no getting away from it: sponsorship is key to the poker biz.
But what new sponsorships would make sense for the upcoming year? After what may have been a few too many eggnogs, we came up with the following…
Negreanu’s Negronis
A well-worn recipe that, despite being around forever, never seems to look its age, the Negroni cocktail is a timeless classic with fans all around the world.
Now, with the new Daniel Negreanu pro version, some say it’s as sweet as it ever was, some that the flavor’s grown a little bitter, but most agree it adds a definite je ne sais quoi to any party.
And it still packs a powerful punch that will keep you smiling, even as it kicks your *ss.
Gambledore’s Gentleman’s Grooming Gear
We all know it’s possible to win over $4M in a tournament without really knowing how to play. If only the same were true when it came to male grooming.
Well don’t despair - help is on the way, courtesy of Vladimir 'Gambledore' Korzinin. Now you can tame that unwieldy beard in less time than it takes to consider calling for all your chips against the best players in the world, and with similar results.

The Hellmuth Headset
Being a consultant to a major company keeps you busy, so spare a thought for the plucky entrepreneur who does it for more than 20 different companies at once - just ask Phil Hellmuth (in fact, no need to ask: he may well bring it up anyway).
Whether it’s Silicon Valley based tech start-ups, martial arts contests or new, unusual forms of milk, these companies need your input. That’s why you need a communications headset with waaay more than one microphone.
The entry-level model starts with four, all the way up to the ‘Brat’ executive model with 27 microphones, all giving you direct access to the boardrooms of each company you advise, all at once.
Grammarly - The Shaun Deeb Edition
Are you a poker player who, for some reason, cares more about good games than good grammar? Are you more about the prop bets, than proper punctuation?
Grammarly can aid anyone in turning their writing into easy-to-read, correctly formatted prose, without the need of a dedicated Twitter account to help your messages make sense.
And now with the exclusive high-powered Deeb Edition, it can even handle the most difficult, punctuation-free messages ever written.
888Uber
A groundbreaking crossover, this new brand sees 888Ride team up with the popular taxi app. Wherever you are, fire up the app and David Tuchman will arrive in a comfortable SUV, complete with a camera operator crouching uncomfortably out of shot in the trunk.
Where do you want to go? Just tell Tuck and he’ll take you there for free*!
*During ride all passengers must answer a question about ‘how to remain focused even while at the top of your game’.
With love and apologies to Daniel Negreanu, Vladimir Korzinin, Phil Hellmuth, Shaun Deeb, David Tuchman, Grammarly and 888Ride.
