They take a small % of his pay check until he pays it off. But its not a big amount. It will take many years before he pays them off.

Can. Not. Get. Over. This.

"He brought the 3mill into the bellagio poker room; a rack of cranberries..."

What happened to the good old days when Grizzle was bothering Helmuth, Helmuth was making Tony D. fold 3 jacks and The Crew were going to take over the poker world???

Seems like only yesterday yet so far away.

sigh...

Erick was in his own naive world!

Do any other FTP owners show large IRS liens?

This post is spot on. I like Negreanu alot as a person, but this post by Johnny sums of what the truth is perfectly.

Why did I marry a loser degen who can't be trusted and then decided to have his baby? WHY???

It's mad how players with such skill at working out EV in poker can blow everything on unbeatable pit games.

Luckily for EL he doesn't owe me any cash but if anybody is hot to collect they should head on over to Ocean's Eleven in San Diego where this loser degen grinds 10-20 NLHE most weekends.

Him and Erica recently moved to the upscale neighborhood of Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego so they can't be THAT poor.

EL is such a poor excuse of a man; a true degen with NO character!

Wouldn't surprise me if he has at least a few hundred thousand cash saved and hidden. So how poor is he if he moved to upper class neighborhood in San Diego and playing 10-20 NL???

All these people make me sick.

If I became addicted to robbing banks would you feel sorry for me too?! It's a disease!

sounds like a 10-20 game id like to jump in. was he already bangin erica while she was still with DB?

nobody feels sorry for him, and that's not a good analogy. A better analogy would be a bartender letting a guy he knows to be an alcoholic run up a massive bar tab, only to bitch about it when he dies of liver failure. These people knew the risks when lending or getting involved in bets with Lindgren, and if they didn't then they have no-one to blame but themselves.

add sebok, donk rainey, and just for fun sam "can you spot me a buy in please" grizzle to that lineup and you gotta all star cast of characters

He sounds like an idiot who put himself in all sorts of stupid spots throughout his life, had to do desperate things to dig himself out and crossed ethical lines that lead him down to the depths of human existence.

His conscience has probably been worn down over the years of degeneracy and I doubt he'll lose much sleep over walking from the debts, but unless he actually did kill that bookie (or has done things that I'm not aware of) I don't think psychopath is appropriate.

Looks to me like a run of the mill life donk who just obviously can't be trusted.


Sympathy is all relative.

He definitely doesn't deserve anything he has in life, but the life he's lead isn't nearly as good as it could have been if he wasn't such an idiot degen. He's lead a glamorous life, but considering all of the stress and guilt he has to deal with - he would have been much better off if he could find happiness in a simple existence. I think people who become fixated on highs (either through drugs, gambling, whatever) do so because their baseline happiness is otherwise lacking.

Spoke with dn at length about this topic on the flight to bay 101. He said he will address this case as well as the whole topic of money owed between poker players in his next video blog.

Ty Chainsaw

thats a level, right?

no money in being peoples anymore pokersites too solid

fyp

If he couldn't make things right when the FTP money was rolling in, it's not going to happen now without it and the reality that he's now a father. Best cop out that exists is having to take care of your family first before anything else.

Spot on imo.

Look up psychopath. Some murderers are psychopaths, but not all psychopaths are murderers. Psychopaths are like 1% of the population, and some experts think 1 in 40 males are psychopaths.

when did negreanu turn into the poker police spokesman?

Yeah he has already said that earlier in this thread
