My best friend's good friend, (Moon Kim) recently won $960K in a poker tournament. He is the guy in red holding the trophy: http://blog.worldpokertour.com/moon-kim-defeats-shooting-stars-to-become-wpt-bay-101-champion/Moon will compete in a large poker tournament in Las Vegas from May 18th. I don't have the exact details for the tournament yet, but I suspect it will be televised. Tournament details: http://www.bellagio.com/files/casino/FiveDiamondWPC.pdfMoon has agreed that he, and his group will all wear Bitcoin shirts durring the tournament. He has requested 8 Mens L size shirts. Which Bitcoin design shirt will be best for this opportunity? Ideally it should be one that is Bitcoin & Poker related. Lets jump on this opportunity ASAP!

He has to use Tuxavent's, his shirts are top quality and he lives in Vegas. His shirts say "Ask me about Bitcoin" with the website and a bitcoin graphic, it is THE only one to use.

I think the bitcoin shirt should just have the logo B on it. Gold on gray I think would look better. A B on a suit might look more classy.

Subtle is normally good.
In this case: what would be the point? The only people who know the B means bitcoin are already bitcoin users.
The minimal shirt contains the minimum necessary Google search: the word "bitcoin".

The ask me about Bitcoin is way to much.
He should not wear that.
The other one is much cooler but maybe just a tiny bit too discreet to catch any attention? But still better.
Any ideas for a text or an image?

I've never heard of Moon Kim, and it looks like he just got lucky on one tournament: http://www.pokernews.com/news/2012/03/moon-kim-wins-2012-world-poker-tour-bay-101-shooting-star-12204.htmIf you look at the hand histories, he binked favourable cards to put him in the lead when he was behind. Like the hand where he had 44 was badly played (chasing a one card open ended) unless there was some meta game going on (which is unlikely for an amateur). So he's unlikely to get far in this event - these events usually have loads of people (especially the WPT which is a mega crowd drawer) and only the final few tables are televised.

I can do my polo at cost ($22) and provide one of them free if there was support. Time is an issue though. To get eight in one size (I stock 2-3) i would need to know by Friday.
I personally believe the polo is best as it peaks interest and looks good but A tshirt design with sponsors could be done as well and I could sponsor half of it myself or with others. I think something simple like:
Bitcoin.org In cryptography we trust.

Due to the DOJ repeal of the wire act pertaining to online poker it might and probably is legal to play online poker for U.S. citizens. All you have to do is find a poker room that accepts player to player transfers. Merge, Bodog, Cake I don't think allow these transfers. But a good BTC business would be a middle man of BTC to poker site transfers. Make the business, then advertise those shirts on tv. I say this because I think it is 100% legal, however consult your lawyer. Also have a rakeback system in-place to make more money and lower fees. I just want to play internationally again with my right as an American to pursue happiness.

Kim went all in with Pocket 4s preflop. He wasn't chasing anything. Unless you're referring to a different hand in the article which I didn't see.

Only six entrants make the televised final table and get significant TV exposure. The chance of any single entrant, whether pro or amateur, making the final six is quite small. However, more entrants will get very brief coverage in the "color" portion of play leading up to the final table. There are rules limiting "sponsorship logos" that may be worn at the final table. Some of the suggestions here might be considered "sponsorship logos" and some not. The tournament starts on May 19. The final "TV" table will be recorded on May 26.

iirc there was never anything illegal about online poker in the US, only that it became illegal to cash out your winnings through certian channels like credit cards. How big is the biggest Bitcoin poker site? They should have an IPO on glbse and use the money to run an ad on any widely publicized poker tournament.

Do not waste your time debating whether Bitcoin can work. It does work.
"Early adopters will profit" is not a sufficient condition to classify something as a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. If it was, Apple and Microsoft stock are Ponzi schemes.
There is no such thing as "market manipulation." There is only buying and selling.

iirc there was never anything illegal about online poker in the US, only that it became illegal to cash out your winnings through certian channels like credit cards. Well more technical even that was never illegal for players. The UIGEA made it illegal for banks, credits cards, and other financial institutions (western union, paypal, etc) to process cashflows (deposits or withdrawals) for the purposes of facilitating online gambling (except state sponsored horse racing, and lotteries). It was also illegal for companies to offer online gaming sites which accepted real money wagers by US players (either by action or inaction). It was never illegal for players to deposit, play, win, lose, or withdrawal any funds at any time.

Welcome to the land of the fre... euh the land of the lords Meh. Don't private property holders have the FREEDOM to set the rules for their property? If the WPT wanted to require every person play in WPT uniform that is certainly their right and isn't constraining anyone's freedom. People have the freedom to not play. If WPT rules ever get to heavy handed players will choose to play in other tournaments.

This thread makes me miss poker so much. I've spent a dozen years of my life doing nothing but play poker in Tunica, Biloxi and Vegas, and online. I've cashed out in many tournaments, live and online, going deep a couple times on major event online. And to think it all started at the El Cortez in Las Vegas in 1994 after leaving Houston.

Just had a brandy at the Parlour at El Cortez waiting for a Linux Meetup to start. Watched the piano guy doing some lounge music. Real neat place.

The place used to be a dive, but the rooms were above par. Jackie really has spiffed up the place (casino floor) I saw the last time I was there.

asked/answered somewhere in this thread. He's just doing it as a favor, but at least one of the other 7 guys with him "knows it better". I can't recall what that means. But even if it's very little, the net sum of network effect outweighs the few around him that figured out he's just a shill for us.

He knows a little about Bitcoin. I told him that if anyone asks about it, he can just tell them that "you can use Bitcoin to play poker on the internet for real money."

Would there be an objection if the shirt said "I use dollars"?

Tell him he can wear his luck shirt under the bitcoin shirt. I had a vietnamese monk bless my tshirts from negative mojo so his lucky shirt doesn't have to spend any defense points.

From the standpoint of publicity for Bitcoin, it doesn't matter what shirt he wears unless and until he is among the final six who will comprise the "TV table" on Saturday.

I just thought of something. I've read the rules about not wearing a shirt with ads unless approved, but what about a tattoo, albeit a temporary one on his arm(s) (or legs, if wearing shorts)? Or wearing these... But with this...

Or wearing these... But with this... how much we think these are worth? I'd totaly buy a pair for 4 BTC how much would it cost to produce? How many would we need to produce to get them to a 4 BTC / pair sale price?

I was just told that Moon Kim is competing in the biggest poker tournament of the year starting on July 7th in Las Vegas and finishing on the 16th. He has promised to wear the Bitcoin T-shirt every day of the competition. First prize is more than $10,000,000 USD.
I will post photos when they are available.

I'ld think it would start to get ripe after a couple days, no? I sent him 7 or 10 shirts total, so he should be ok. Then again, "ripeness" could be a strategy used to distract his opponents from their game.
