If Feldman really is worth a zillion or whatever he claims.
Why would he even bother taking someone to court over a measly 50k?
Chalk it down to experience and move on, rather than dragging yourself through a pointless court case.
I know several millionaires, unfortunately not one myself. Of the ones I know, there is not a single one who wouldn't cross the Andes barefoot to get back the 50k they had been relieved of, or pay a team of people to get it back. This is why they are millionaires! Personally, I also would fight tooth and nail for a single pound had it been illegally taken from me! And I'm the loosest person with money I know! Why allow a con man to pay off his 20k overdraft he raked up gambling and let him off as a lesson!!

Sorry I mean rumours as in general rumours, we all have to believe the ones we believe have merit and ignore the ones we don't. Not just regarding these two!
I was asking why you feel the need to believe in rumours at all? Fair point this, but I guess most, me included still believe in some when put together with loose facts! But good point you made I guess we shouldn't!

We all have and form our own opinions of people! rumours are rumours and you have to believe what you believe!
the only thing that's proof in this little row, is the judges comments on Paul are not very favourable and accuse him of getting Andrew to pay off his overdraft and lie/cheat over this investment!
Whereas everyone batters Andrew, but no one ever has any proof!

looks like a bit of change, all def happening Sept,
boyle poker, blue sq not involved, neither are Genting/Encore although the first 2 are definitely fighting to get on this 2nd IPOKER network.
Ones I def know are going are Paddy Power, Bet365, Mansion, Will Hills,Corals (one i cant remember name of poker 76....something) and 1 other.
From what i hear its going to be huge!
What are one way n blackbelt going to do about this Quinney? not sure about BB, But one way are in discussions with one of the big ones about moving with them, but there will be no skins any longer for the smaller boys but we have a work around. To be fair, we're ok because we work on live events off the back of satellites online which we can still do and have our own identity the way we do them, but likes of the other skins like BB/Encore, not sure, its a nightmare because they've spent a lot of money. No doubt they'll have something in the pipeline! [

Sorry but I'm not buying most of this. It obviously didn't start over nothing, and it wasn't because they were jealous of his success as Sam puts it. They both have tried to make out that they were victimised because of his win and that they did nothing wrong but it's pretty obvious that Sam or Nastasha said something to wind these guys up. Both were hammered, and she's renowned for being a bit mouthy and "waggy" so it seems pretty likely that it started as something small and then she mouthed off to them and he took the shit for it. They may not've even known about the 10m, though it seems pretty likely that it would've come up in the mrs' rant which obviously makes the situation worse for them. Probably an unpopular stance on the whole thing but I don't like the way Sam and gf have reported the whole thing because they've left tiny clues that make it obvious that there's two sides to this story. I also don't like the way generally they appear in the public eye, especially her. I mean he's a bit big time and all his tweets and facebook status' are very braggy, but that's OK, sort of understandable, and maybe I'd be the same, but after a while it's like "yeh we get it Sam, you're getting a helicopter to xyz, you play million dollar pots, you have an incred life". There's nothing really wrong with that at all though, it's kind of inspiring actually in weird way. But the way she goes off on there and especially that rant she put on Feldmans wall and then deleted (/Sam made her delete it) the next day was a joke - she made herself look so dumb. Just my , shoot me now! Great post

What's the difference between Feldman bum hunting and Hastings/Townsend/South taking millions from Blom?
and sharing 50,000 lines of hand history?

Problem is woodsey it spoils the games for everyone - the weaker players have a worse time and the action is spoilt for the regs.
It would be great if we could all do these things, never play a hand vs another good player, snap get out of the game when the spot leaves, berate and insult the weaker guys to get all the action for ourselves, never play short-handed to start games. Would be wonderful, we'd all make a ton more money, problem is though there WOULD BE NO GAMES if we all acted like this, so all the regs give a little, show respect to the weaker players so they have a nicer time, play short handed with other good players for a little so the games start up give a bit of action and this is the sole reason the games ccan run.
Someone who acts like Feldman comes along, allows everyone else to give the action that creates the games and give none for himself, not just him there are loads like him.
Game selecting, i.e not taking X seat because your OOP to a good player, deciding to quit this one game because it seems tough and so on is good professional practice, albeit a little nitty.
I spoke to Jesse May about this slating about 2 years ago at the launch of one of the prem poker leagues (no name dropping honest). Andrew was being slated massive for bum hunting/taking the fish etc etc, however, Jesse (whos opinion Im assuming everyone would have respect for) went on to say that Game Selection is one of the most important skills of poker which a lot of people manage badly. He should not be run down because he picks the players he has an edge over and takes their money. Im assuming that everyone who plays for a living, plays to win money, pay the bills, live a good life etc etc. Seems to me that Andrew had this tied down and a lot of people struggled to do the same thing. I could name you 10 players off the top of my head, that still are on the circuit relatively big names, still young, and multi accounted or colluded during their so far short poker career (obviously I'm not going to for obvious reasons) Im sorry and this isnt a dig at anyone, but I put it all down to jealousy! again, that's just my opinion, everyone is entitled to!

Also, anyone who doesn't get on TIER1, will be worthless in 6 months after as all the players will have migrated over to sites on tier1 where all the traffic will be. Tier2 will be dead within no time!
Also heard since my last post, Blue Sq MAY get on tier 1 as they're in negotiations with IPOKER/Playtech on going into Tier1. As it currently stands, they're going into Tier2!
