Andrew Feldman

[Sark79]

Its often easy to make judgements about people after watching short clips on youtube and reading twitter/forum posts. Like everyone else, I always viewed Feldman in a negative light from what I had viewed online. One of my friends hates the guy even though he has never met him or knows him personally rather than what poker TV shows want us to see. He even thinks Feldman set up the Channel four millionaire show purely to help change our perception of him and paid the makers for the privilege.

If I didn't know anything about Feldman and was watching "Secret Millionaire" as a casual viewer rather than a poker fan, I would come away with the opinion that he seemed to be a decent guy who is perhaps a little bit fragile mentally. It is often easy to form an opinion about someone and continue to hold those beliefs even after that person is shown in another setting because it is hard to change our original opinion.  

Who knows if Feldman is a thief, liar, scumbag. Everyone has their own views on this.  All I know is the Feldman I watched in the "secret Millionaire" wasn't faking it and seemed like a decent guy .  I never for a second thought I would ever think that.  Earlier this week I told my non poker friends and workmates how hated and untrusted the guy was when we were talking about the upcoming episode. I am not a fan of his antics on poker shows, but in real life as shown in the show, he seemed ok.

Can someone just put a list up of things Feldman has supposed to have done please?

I've heard bits and bobs about him coaching someone whilst actually being the opponent of the person he was coaching. Other than that I know fk all other than he is a 'scumbag', which is a bit vague   

Sam is a good lad as far as I'm concerned, but I've even heard about some disagreements he had after winning some $$$ and %'s etc, and no I won't divulge further on that as I don't know if its true.

This is the problem, so much rumour about stuff, who knows what the truth is?

Woodsey, not having a go here at all, but in one breath u ask for people to list all he has done, but refuse to post the stuff about Sam (which I dont blame you either) but hard to ask for  anyone else to. Thing is, I actually dont believe people can list it, as its prob a load of rumours they've heard off xx mate etc!

This is my problem tbh, its just all rumour.

Don't know why I'm even sticking my nose in tbh, must be the bottle of wine lol.

I wonder why I bothered also, but as Keith says, just because of rumours etc doesn't make the guy wrong for this incident and people coming on saying "hes a twat" without any reason for saying it (as prob never met him) i just find a bit childish like. But each man is entitled to his own opinion, it is a free world!

I watched the secret millionaire last night ...
I don't know,never met or had anything to do with Andrew Feldman before

At the beginning of the program when he was going on about his car etc ...he looked like a right idiot
However as the programme progressed I thought he came across as a very caring but confused young man!


By the time the programme had finished I quite liked the guy!

He gave away 150k of his own money he could of done this in private but decided to do it on channel 4 which is typical for a young guy with ££ but I think it taught him a Lott and was good for him
Just my opinion!

I just caught up with the secret millionaire and thought a lot of his tears were false. However he has done plenty of good with his donations so maybe should be cut a bit if slack.

Fair point. But I heard a couple of horror stories about Pete Linton and you start to form opinions and judgements. Only when someone like Cos sticks up for him and you actually play and chat with the guy do you start to change those opinions. He also fell out with Sam and obv there is always two sides to every story. Stuff that is written down is often took the wrong way.

When was it on? I set it to record it 9pm Monday 25th but at start of programme said it was replaced by show called "lifers"?
