What's the Dutch Boyd history you talk of Monsieur Kendall?

Wow, what a question!

I'll try to write a Dutch Boyd story later today, in my Diary, as I'm kinda busy right now.

He allegedly scammed a lot of players, essentially, in a Poker Trillion-stylee jobbie.

google is your friend, try "Dutch Boyd Scam". He also writes a Blog.

If you enjoy beautiful articulate writing on the subject, try Paul Phillip's effort here.....

http://extempore.livejournal.com/76520.html

Which includes this (unrelated) gem.....

frightening misogynistic objectification of half the human species

...and this line which I love so much, but which is an increasingly unfashionable moral position.....

However, to me the most essential quality in a human being is honesty. To me dishonesty is intolerable, unlivable, and when someone else doesn't feel the same way it makes them into undesirable company.

He articulates so well. I feel the same, but struggle to explain it propely. I just don't talk to those who behave so shamefully. I expect they can live with that, though.

On my more mischievious days, I often think I'll pen a book of my poker tales & travels.

Anyway, back to Results.....
