What, is this like 2005 again? It\’s like everybody and their dog wants to do poker-ish TV. I\’m not so sure how these will work out, because they never responded to my inquiry … but then again, maybe they didn\’t care for my resume and headshot submission: \”Pokerati.com :)\”
Anyhow, there was an interesting little poker job fair yesterday at Binion\’s, with online recruiting efforts powered by Craigslist:

Hmm, they\’re offering actual money, so that\’s good. PokerNetwork247 seems to be the offspring of a low-stakes grassroots poker community in Colorado, headed up by some dudes who dig big boobs and NASCAR.
Thanks @johnharristtu for the heads-up. If I were less of a dick I probably woulda posted this sooner so others could take advantage of the info. But hey, really, Poker 24-7 … really?
