i wouldnt really care what site i was pimping with clothing, hats, whatever.

but i agree completely. if i was deep in the tourney (say 27 left), i would have aggressively approached the reps for stars, party, full tilt, ub, etc. i would prefer to go to a big site, as there is a much better chance that you can follow up the short term deal with a long term one, but i woul dhave pimped myself to pretty much anyone if they gave me the right price to wear their gear at the final couple of tables, especially because they know that they will get a much better bang for their buck that late in the tourney.

how much do you think that you could have made at that point in the tourney, just for wearing a shirt or hat? i wouldnt be surprised if you could have made 5k or more.

You need to be on the tv table to make any money for wearing gear. But yes, I've heard numbers of $5k and up... The people you see wearing Stars gear (for the most part) are people who qualified online. Part of the "Free lodging in Vegas" deal was that they had to wear Stars gear all week...

agreed! and i heard a few rumors to that effect...so its not out of the realm of reality altogether...

also, i was following all the major sites' blogs during the series, and it always cracked me up, especially towards the last few tables, how few other sites (ahem, ahem) tried to claim some of the team stars ppl as their own, simply based on the fact that they might have played there at some point in the past.

just proves again the point of 'site representation' and how important/potentially lucrative it is late in the series...
