Absolute Poker Making Changes

AbsolutePoker.net has announced that they will no longer be using professional poker players to promote their brands. They are pulling out of the US domestic market, but will continue to use professional players in their international promotions. This does not affect US players, only their marketing techniques.

The company had announced that they would no longer be using poker professional Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi after it expires in May. Many thought the company would just renew the deal, but they have decided not to, leaving Mizrachi free to explore other options.

Mizrachi has allegedly already been made several offers from other poker companies seeking to hire him now that he will be free of his contract. As Mizrachi was Card Player Magazine’s 2006 Player of the Year, he will get snatched up fairly quickly one would expect. His agent said that with the industry constantly changing, they are more than willing to work within that industry and adapt to any changes that come their way.

The company also made the announcement about their Absolute Dream Package Winner, as this was its second year running. The winner got access to the main poker events this year, as he got free entry to the biggest tournaments, including training from the pros.
