Worst Full Tilt Ad: Phil Ivey
Out of the gamut of all the bad and corny poker commercials, my least favorite easily used to be the Jen Harmon one, “Give me something, just a little something!”
Her voice makes my thorax collapse a little bit, as if there are little babies folding baloney in my nostrils. Ugh.
But worse, now, I think, is the Phil Ivey Full Tilt commerical, where he is “mathemetically” analyzing his opponent:
All I can hear is him saying, “What is he thinking? What is he trying?” over and over and over again. Such penetrating mathematics, a computer going bonkers in his mind just analyzing the crap out of this scene. “What is he thinking? He is he trying?” I just can’t take it. It’s more subtely annoying that Harmon’s which in the long run makes it worse.
I am soon going to implode.
I can’t stand either advert to be honest but far worse than any Full Tilt ad has to be the ones PokerStars are running in the UK. Absolutely shocking for such a huge company.
It really bugs me that the advertising people get paid a boatload of cash by these companies and the companies approve them when it’s something me and my 18 month old kid could come up with!
Hmm, i’d be interested to see those. I can’t even imagine…
I know people in who work in the Marketing sect.
Trust me, these people have NO clue what they are doing.
And I guarantee you the marketing firm doing the ads have no clue about poker, pot odds, +ev, etc.
