  1. I didn't have any money on full tilt and don't knwo the full story as I stopped paying attention/caring, I just don't understand why people would be upset at Ivey for this. Still baffles me.
  2. It depends how involved ivey was. But I believe he wasnt involved in this. Also i dont believe phil ivey would put a lot of time in those buisness things. hes the face, an 'ahtlete' and just cashes the cheques every month. The same Nadal is dong now with pokerstars.
  3. i think daniel wishes he was black. get real... nobody is pinning it on the 'Black guy'. get real. stop making race the issue, it's far from the issue. lets all stop playing the race card, doesnt belong in the deck.
     
  4. Yea I dont think it was a racial issue either. I think Ivey took more heat from the public because of his lawsuit against FTP regardless of if it was for the Former FTP player's interest or against it, I think this is why people were more upset with Ivey. I am not saying that is ok to do but I dont think it is because of his skin color.

    I'm curious about this post though...

    "I think that’s because people know the truth,” Negreanu replied. “Annie was involved in the business side of things, and that’s a fact. She knew the inner workings. She knew that god-mode existed. Phil Hellmuth, much like Ivey, is about himself."

    What does "she knew that god-mode existed" mean?

    Im just curious if anyone knows?

  5. it's basically daniel speaking lingo he doesnt know much about. he's talking about super users seeing whole cards.
     
  6. i hope the authorities arrest his black ass while he's in vegas, use him as a pawn to roll over the rest of his crew. he was no doubt the face of the ponzi scheme and part owner of the company. ivey's ex-wife gets $180,000 a month in alimony, there no way that amount is based on grinding and endorsements. ivey deserves jail time. period.
  7. He's suggesting Annie knew that people were cheating on UB by seeing other players' hole cards at the table. I'd take that with a grain of salt, given the past rocky relationship (very well known publicly) between Daniel and Annie. I'm loathe to defend anyone, given how often people turn out to be guilty, and I won't defend Annie either. I just think it's hard to know how Daniel would know something like that
     
  8. Sigh, I remember when poker was relevant and articles actually had good or important information. Depressing times....hopefully by the 2nd quarter of next year it will be back.
     
  9. Im not into the political side of poker when it comes to race or playing the race card. But obv the card was put into the deck just like the rest of them for a reason! Do i feel like they are pinning it on the "Black Guy" No i don't!!!! Do i feel like it's easier for the racist majority of poker players to blame the black guy? Without a doubt yes i do! And to be honest i have no problem with Daniel if he wants to be black. Im sure we all have friends who would rather be white or black. One of my best friends of 22 years is white and id kill a guy if they fucked with him, black or white. I am just as tired of racial issues as anyone else;But as long as we all shall live there will always be racist black and white!!!!! "I say to hell with them both"!!!!
  10. daniel is a kid that never graduated highschool, his lack of education is apparent every time he opens his mouth. hes just humping iveys nuts and bashing annie (although she needs/deserves a bashing) hes an overrated 'tv character' who needs to think before he speaks. hes a child in mannerisms and in thought, not to mention hes nuttier than a canadian fruitcake stuffed with fruit, in canada. shut up daniel, your voice need not be heard
     
  11. adam didn't annie admit she new about the super user scandal before others were in the know? The reason people go after Ivey is because he is the best and most popular pro imo, lots of people have no idea what juanda looks like.

  12. exactly, thread discussion over
     
  13. normally most people who are "the face" of a company go down with the sinking ship, he's lucky imo
     
  14. It doesnt matter what color the thief is. I just want whats owed. Whats so hard about that? His lawsuit shouldnt even be called a law suit. He fluffed his feathers up and then dropped it. Looks like a front to throw the DOJ off of his trail for a bit.
  15. What Full Tilt did was in no way normal. It was a FUBAR, not a SNAFU.

  16. negreanu is such an idiot. seriously gtfo with that race card bs. and i really don't know why daniel's opinion is news anyway, it truly doesn't matter what he thinks. just because he puts it out there doesn't mean we have to give him the satisfaction of listening.
     
  17. Negreanu will choose to say whatever will draw the biggest reaction and put his name all over poker forums, news sites, etc. He apparently feels he hasn't been relevant lately and needs some attention.
    Right now he's probably in his little quilt tent he built in his bedroom floor, sitting inside it with a flashlight, laptop, and s'mors, giddy as a lil' schoolgirl as he got his P5's headline.

    Did he pay the $4 million he owes to FTP (which is us) yet?
  19. Cause hes black?? Hes known to be THE BEST poker player in the world, that's what i hear at least one time every time i watch live poker on tv. Thats why! Saying it's his skin solor sounds like a weak attempt to defend him. Altho i also dont think ivey has anything to do with this i think that man has power! Maybe so much power that everybody just keep their mouth shut. Ever thought about that? Unlikely, but possible.
  20. I think Negreanu is finding it harder and harder to get results inmajor live MTT's.. The whole bashing FTP and UB is just his way of staying relevent and towing the PStars line... Face it bro if u don't start winning Mercier is gonna take your spot as " the face" of stars.

    Hey i agree totally with this statement except the quote "Daniel wishes he was black" LOL. But for anyone to think Ivey had anything to do with the Full Tilt scam; I say to you "REALLY"!!!! Come on people open your eyes please!!!!! If the rest of the Full Tilt crew is getting charged with a ponsi scheme or what ever the f*$%k it's called! "Don't you think they would have charged Ivey as well. Im not at all proud of it, but im man enough to admit; That when i was younger and had my run in with the law for a serious drug conviction! The first thing that people start doing is cooperating with the authorities and rolling over on others period! I am no saint or a role model; And you can judge me however you wish! But Ivey would be in jail or charged by now! He's only a poker player not a mobster!

    You guys have all seen 48hrs LOL! And most of us here know how it works. When the Federal Government comes after you or a group of individuals; They get any and everyone involved. Yes!!!!! there will always be a few who slither though the cracks! But before you start pointing fingers at anyone; We all need to start pointing the fingers at ourselves. "WE ALL OF US TOOK A RISK WHEN WE PUT MONEY ON TILT". "AND WE ALL KNEW THE RISK NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just cause one guy lost 5k and another lost $500!!!! You are no better than the next man who lost less! No one is happy about the situation; But it is what is and we should all learn from it!

    he was no doubt the face of the ponzi scheme=how do you know sir!

    Definition:Doubt=Without question; certainly; definitely. no doubt( obv if you know this the case is solved) obv it's not
    Definition:Fact=Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed(so far the facts say Ivey had nothing to do with this)

    Im not here to bash you sir; But you are anyone else who makes these kind of comments need both ingredients above to bake this cake!

    ivey's ex-wife gets $180,000 a month in alimony, there no way that amount is based on grinding and endorsements.=The man is a multi-millionaire so how come he can't pay this? Please post his bank statement!

    ivey deserves jail time.=Really? well i guess you paid taxes on all your online poker winning huh? That's what i though sir.... I guess we all need to go to jail.......

    So obv you dislike him right? Honestly i don't even know the man to hug his nuts. I do enough nut huggin here with players i somewhat know! With that said im not here to make enemies, I just like for people to state facts and not emotions in these cases. This man or anyone else not involved are at risk and reps at stake! It's all going to come out sooner or later,so let's not assume anything until then. Remember it's all about poker and making it better for all of us. accusing one of our own even when the law has not says alot about our character as poker players being united in the face of adversity!
  28. Horrible quotation in this article, if you watch the interview he clearly makes a joke when he says 'pin it on the black guy', he does not defend Ivey by saying he was the only one to make a stance but rather says that Ivey is just like the rest of the guys (Seidel, Juanda etc) but was the only person to make a public statement. This was his response when asked why people are going after Ivey specifically. His defence for Ivey is that Ivey knew nothing about te inner bussiness dealings and is therefor not guilty.

    Has anyone of them paid back yet? I thought there was 3 or 4 that owed. I just want like .068% of that 4mil to get mine. i like how Durrr was going to put up money to make sure players were paid back and havent seen or heard from him in a while.
