Each year the winner of the Main Event World Series of Poker comes in poker history with a capital H. Becoming a world champion is not without some cons and players including sacred inherit new responsibilities, such as in this case concerning the role of ambassador of poker. Since the poker boom of 2003, eight men have won the supreme title of world champion to become, often despite themselves, the most prominent representatives of the entire poker industry. For some, the role of ambassador proved a stain too heavy to bear. Others have invested with enthusiasm and desire without being able to live up to this mission. PokerNews goes in search of the ideal ambassador and will endeavor to find it among the last 8 world champions.

Under what criteria he is a champion a good ambassador?

What are the criteria that make a world champion a good ambassador for poker? The answer is not simple and generally depends on the character of the persons concerned. It could yet define 5 criteria that would be relevant enough to define what would be a good ambassador of poker:

2 – Participate in events on the live circuit, demonstrate to the entire community of players abilities, to defend his championship title
3 – Make good use of its gains, both in terms of bankroll management, or by donations made for charitable organizations, manage their money wisely and reason for the greater benefit of himself and his relatives, ensure the future of his family
4 – Fighting to remain one of the most notable players
5 – Be friendly, approachable, supportive and available to fans

Other criteria may come naturally expand this list but we will use primarily on the last 5 to see who among our last 8 Champions deserve the title of best ambassador of poker.
8th – Jamie Gold (2006)

This is still a remarkable performance in which it is possible to give some credit, whatever the good run that Gold may have been in the Main Event. Gold fish, however, by a personality devoid of charisma, which makes it, added to his arrogance, completely uninteresting to watch him play.
