Title: Where has Marc Goodwin gone?
Post by: The Camel on February 14, 2012, 01:47:42 AM
Since he copped half a mill in an EPT in 2009 he's only got 2 cashes on his HM and I haven't seen him in ages.

Has he given up the game?

Golf dispute cliffs please...

Goodwin, Vaswani and Ivey had some massive bets on a round of golf, but Goodwin put a chip in Ivey's ball and was controlling it via remote control. Ivey found out and demanded the money back, and it was settled out of court by an impartial adjudicator.

Golf dispute cliffs please...

Cool who is scratch-player and RamV who is 5 hcp. take bundles off Ivey who is a beginner over a period of time.

They don't play for 6 months or so meanwhile Ivey takes lessons and practices.

They play again in Australia and Ivey takes them both to the cleaners.

Cool and Ram cry foul and refuse to pay although I believe Ram eventually did.

Is this true??

I've heard Karabiner's version before... Ivey improved drastically over the 6 months but didn't tell the others how much he'd been practicing, so they gave him the normal handicap and he cleaned up.

Saw Marc at the Manc GUKPT last year, he seemed very happy playing live cash. He was on really godo form, very self depreciating, which some would find hard to believe given his previous Mr Cool persona, but he was putting himself down and telling us how all the kids are pulling all these moves that go over his head and it's all got too hard to win. Think he split with Littlewoods despite them copping the lot from the EPT win which was a shame

I don't know if it was even Marc who said anything, I remember Jamie said it somewhere (I'm not 100% that was the exact quote) and iirc it was Paul Jackson who gave him a hard tome about it at a gukpt. was hilarious

Copped the lot, as in a big piece of the prize? Was he on some sort of make-up deal with them?

mmm

If the article wasn't so "Ivey is god, marc/ram are hustlers" biased then i'd believe this prolly.

Seems biased tho, I reckon the truth is somewhere between the two stories, Ivey slightly under-played his level of coaching without lying and ram/marc jammed up stakes t0 martingale out till it got uncomfortable.... who knows...

Same magazine has just taken the pic (from link in thread)for their next front cover, exact same location but this time a new generation: Paul's still in it, but this time with Ben Jackson, both suited and booted.

Rumour has it Paul's favourite cardigan was on a chair just out of camera shot so he didn't get anxiety and withdrawal issues.

Yes I'm there probably Saturday. Bit curious to know how old Kate is because I happened to mention she was a lovely young lady on face book and it turns out she is aged somewhere between 16 and 40.

Just asked Catherine and she is at work Friday night so will be there Saturday for sure

Yes, we had a brief chat at the break. I played with him in a few tournaments before and also quite randomly against him in a county golf match about ten years ago (notts vs warwicksire). I avoided any golf questions....

He knocked me out too..... Git

Didnt really suggest he'd been away.... Other things to do i suppose. Poker isn't everything

Err. That was from the cover of InsidePoker, which doesn't exist anymore. That Jackson v Jackson cover is bluff I think. If anyone was wondering, they insisted Tony Chessa be part of the article and cover shoot.
