I interviewed Marcel Luske 20 minutes ago, & never shy of promoting the Sky Poker Tour Grand Final at DTD in September, I invited him along.

He enthused about DTD, & in particular, the remarkable job that Simon Templar has done there.

Thing saint what they used to be.

I remembered reading about Jeff Sarwer on 2p2 a while back after he had a bit of a run in some EPTs and some of the stuff being thrown about was pretty strong. FatalError (Jon Aguiar) said he would crossbook Sarwer against anyone in the world bar Ivey and Elky.

Then Shaun Deeb posted this:

'FE is not leveling jeff if he sticks to poker for another 6 months I have 0 doubt he'll be considered like in the same sentance with menlo. I've spent a lot of time with him since I first met him in kiev and I wish I could teach him what I know about tourneys because he can take them so much further. And watching him in action was a factor in why I quit I'll never be as good as he will be and once people of his intelligence level see how easy they can crush poker they will all follow.

Also, jeff is an awesome guy great friend I consider now as well. Also, I think everyone whose hungout with him so far out here has been so impressed with almost everything he does. He superuses people live including myself 100% of the time his thoughtprocess is so far above levels I could ever imagine it's sick to watch it in play. Also he actually has personality which will really help once the spotlight is on him again.'

Is Dempsey the only man still wearing Full Tilt patches?   You'd be more welcome playing in a 3 ft squared swastika in the current climate?


Title: Re: tikay talks to Teddy (and other WSOP interviews)
Post by: tikay on July 12, 2011, 07:25:20 PM
Is Dempsey the only man still wearing Full Tilt patches?   You'd be more welcome playing in a 3 ft squared swastika in the current climate?

No, but he's in a minority.

I've been delving into this, & have asked 8 or 10 Red Pros or FT sponsored (as were?....) players their views. So many different, & individual specific replies. The only commonality is that none of them seem to know anything.

Might just blog the feedback today, though, you'll understand, I'm sure, it'll have to quote "anon" sources, as most of them did not want their views "on record", the convos were officially deemed "off record", on the understanding only that I would not quote names.

I'm fascinated by the terribly awkward spot they are in. It's not quite as simple as outsiders might think. And no, I 100% do NOT have a flag to fly for, or against, Tilt. I just find the whole situation bizarre, & I'm incredulous that it got to this, &, really, somehow, the great & good of poker seem to have just shrugged their shoulders & moved on.

My real angle is that many of these players are friends of mine from down the years. "yesterday" they were fine chaps, today some of them are being villified. But they are the same people now, as then, & they knew nothing of what was going off.

The other jaw-dropper is the "Crisis Management PR" - or total lack of it. In Tilt's spot, any line other than "OK guys, here's where we are, heres the situation" is sub-optimal. Communication is all in such a situation.

It's just the most astonishing story EVER in Online poker, but it seems to drop off the front page amazingly quickly. A couple of months ago, they were the world's 2nd biggest Room.

I got some serious abuse somewhere because I interviewed Flushy, wearing a Tilt badge, but the guy completely misread the whole piece, & jumped to all manner of incorrect assumptions, so I eventually gave up trying to reason with him. Fact is, Flushy is the same guy now as he was before all this went off, & he knows nothing of what happened, or why.

I think the thing is  scandal & a disgrace, absolutely, but having taken the time & trouble to listen to Flushy's take on it, I see no reason why I should suddenly hold a different view on him. I think exactly the same of him now as I did before, (whatever that was...) & I see no need to apologise for that.

Will Flushy come on here & explain his position? I very much doubt that! He wants to preserve his position for if & when Tilt re-open, & I'm sure most in his position would do the same, or at least understand his line.

I do know one thing - Flushy, as to his personal financial ethics, is squeaky clean, & I don't think a soul, anywhere, could suggest otherwise.

All very difficult.

The harder I tried to dig myself out of it, the worse it got. To make it worse, I tweeted a link to the interview to him.....& I know he watched it.

Think a grovelling apology to The Man may be in order - he's actually slightly younger than me! And so he's not even 65.

Post by: DungBeetle on July 13, 2011, 11:37:48 AM
Hi Tikay

I don't have any issues with the sponsored FT players as it obviously isn't their fault.  The bottom line is they didn't have money in segregated client accounts, and this money has been used for other expenses.  The business was run on the assumption that they would never need to pay out all customers at the same time.  Effectively they securisized future rake for spending in the present.

To be fair it's not an unreasonable assumption (I am assuming that their jurisdiction does not require 100% client money to be segregated, as otherwise they have acted in breach of their regulator).  They just ran it on a fractional reserve basis, perhaps having 50% of player funds set aside for a withdrawals buffer.   Then the authorities showed up, and the financial model was ruined. 

If all Barclays customers showed up today and asked to withdraw their balances then Barclays would be bankrupt.

The above is my view, but I do think the FT brand is ruined forever now.  It's a shame as the software was excellent.

Post by: DungBeetle on July 13, 2011, 11:40:10 AM
And I definitely agree with you that the handling of the crisis was disasterous.  But once punters smell the fact that all the money isn't there and you get a run on a bank, then all reason goes out of the window and the herd mentality takes over.  Perhaps good PR at the time would have made little difference once the panic set in.
