We need a sponsor for the 2nd SEO poker tournament. The plan for how to do this one is absolutely amazing: I’m pretty sure nothing like it has ever been done before and it’s brilliant (if I do say so myself).
Last time around we had a few problems with the sponsors. The first one could not perform as they said they could and the 2nd asked that the name be removed after the tournament because of the “Black Hat” association. This after they contacted me to sponsor the event.
The setup for this next one will be incredible. Before we proceed, however, we need a sponsor with some balls. The Requirements for a Poker sponsor are:
1. To put up $5,000 for Cash Prizes.
2. A person dedicated to making sure the tournament goes smoothly (sign-ups, contact with players, and minor admin).
3. A Competitive Affiliate Program
4. A Webmaster Referral or “2 tier” Affiliate Program
5. A Kick ass poker site.
This one will be run differently from the last one and I have a strong sense that It will be absolutely huge.
If you’re a sponsor and are interested, please leave a comment on this post (which won’t be approved) and I’ll contact you.

Interesting Idea About opening it up to other sponsors. However, I’m pretty sure that pokerstars would not be down because of the black hat association. Not sure about Full Tilt but I have the same gut feeling.
$5000 is nothing considering how big this should be. In fact, I would be open to starting a white lable of a poker site just to facilitate this.
My only request is that it’s at a reasonable time of day this time, not everyone is awake in the middle of the day US time 
What are the 5 Gs for? For a poker tournament that is not very much $. I do know someone who might be interested if the details of what exactly will be taking place are explained fully.
“Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.”
The $5k is for the Runner up prizes
First prize is going to be insane. I had a phone conversation today with a very promising sponsor. More details to come some time in the next 2 weeks.

Thank you everyone for contacting me - we have chosen a sponsor and will have an anouncement shortly.
Hey Quad, good to hear you got sponsorship. I can’t believe I missed it by one day but please contact me for the next one as we are very interested in getting involved.
Thanks

It’s going to be nearly impossible to get a respected poker room to comply with all of those requirements. Why not open it up to allow a few sites (seo or poker related) to offer cash/prizes?
PokerStars and Full Tilt are the two best US poker rooms and they make it easy for affiliates to make private tournaments.
