Here's my old PokerStars Team Online avatar. which 100% of friends and observers agreed was awful:


So I hired a professional to re-shoot it, and the avatar went live in the PokerStars GUI yesterday. Hopefully my friends won't be so embarrassed anymore:


Thanks to Matt Wysocki at Sockivision who did a great job at a reasonable price.

Much better.

Whoever is in charge with the Team Pro avatars seems to be slacking off lately.

The Team Online ones are the worst. Like they just grab any old picture and put it up there.

It's a shame because I always thought the originals one looked so great. When some of the new ones started appearing on the PokerStars client I thought that it was some TLB winner.

The Liv Boeree one bugs me the most because she's a full team pro member and they did so many publicity photos that were better.

I liked the look of them I tried to reverse engineer how to make a pokerstars avatar on my blog.

It's a small thing but big thumbs up from me for taking the initiative to get a nice avatar done. Can't believe they put the first one up in the first place.

Omg. The first one is amazing! I'm going to make that my avatar for everything. Twitter: check. Get Glue: check. DMV: check.
Can't believe you changed it.
