Adventure Racing and Poker – a Natural Pair
At first glance, poker
may not seem to have much in common with adventure racing. It is a sedentary
activity whose practitioner seldom run more than a couple of meters to get

A partnership joining poker and adventure racing
PokerJunkie.com is a poker site with guides to online poker and other features such as texas holdem rules,
together with helpful information for poker players.
Online poker has seen a tremendous growth in the last few years. Along with
a growing market for poker, the competition among poker sites, poker forums
and related businesses grows tougher by the day. To reach
a large audience, it becomes more and more important to build diversified
partnerships for marketing purposes. Because sports and
games are so closely related, we have chosen to support the relatively
small but exciting sport of adventure racing. It is to this endeavor and
to the further success that PokerJunkie.com now enters
as a sponsor of the Team Santa Fe Adventure Racing.
