HOST OF 'THE RAW DEAL'
Co-Star / Male + Female / All Ethnicities / 21-38
Seeking a young, opinionated, personable & fearless poker player for a recurring role on the long running cable TV show "World Poker Tour". Looking for a mix of Simon Cowell & Charles Barkley, someone who is unafraid to call out bad plays & bad players but with a history of high stakes action to back up their words. Player should be familiar & conversant in online poker lingo & posses the ability to clearly & forcefully press their case through either righteous outrage, edgy charm or their own unique take on the "right way to play". POKER EXPERIENCE/EXPERTISE A MUST. Would love to find a comedic type who is excellent at thinking on his feet. CHARISMA!!!

Wardrobe: Casual... poker pro type attire

Project Notes: The person chosen would travel a bit from event to event & do commentary in a biting & humorous way & this would become a segment in addition to the commentary that the WPT already has.

Unfortunately I won't be able to get over there tomorrow to apply.

Sounds like it'd be a great oppurtunity. Personally think that I'd be great for the job - - have been told that I have an 'announcer's voice' (look out Bruce Buffer), and sound a bit like Phil Helmuth while spouting off in my livingroom in front of the computer screen.

Will be interesting to see who ends up with the job after seeing this posted on some of the poker forum sites.

I heard that TonyDunst was actually applying for this position (Bond18 on Fulltilt). I also read on some other forums that they'd be surprised if any higherstakes player would actually even be interested in this position on account of the pay being small. I'd disagree with that as the exposure will obviously be +EV.

BTW OP, & fwiw, I think Tony would be great for the job! He gives excellent hand analysis, is quick, witty, etc.
