GPL and The State of Poker Sponsorships in 2016

So a new initiative called the Global Poker League looks set to launch with their initial draft in a couple weeks in Los Angeles. It's a team format where players who are in the top 1000 of the Global Poker Rankings can take part if they choose to. In order to take part in this initiative, you would obviously have to sign some kind of legal contract.

I'm lucky enough to have one of the best poker business minds available to read any and all contracts that come across my desk. Brian Balsbaugh, of Poker Royalty, has been my agent and close confidant for over ten years now.
