Will I tell you who this person is? Despite the fact that I might enjoy this person being outed, its not in my nature to do that, not do I think it's my place to... So I won't.
Pretty sure this is the stuff NVG is interested in, Please tell us Annie Duke is busto

Daniel do I recall correctly Phil Hellmuth owed you a large sum a few years back which took a while to get back? Obviously hes loaded so was it just natural for you to think you will get it back without issue so you didn't mind to much when you got it?

I've asked Daniel twice now if he and Erick are still "close" friends and have gotten no response.

Okay, cool - but you also never answered if he owes you a nice chunk of change

My guess - YUP

Lastly Daniel - whether you want to admit it or not - E-Dog being your "close" friend for years will cloud your overall judgement of him and his actions. If this was Howard Lederer doing all this your posts would be filled with HATE and you know it, right???

Aren't these qualifiers, in effect, at least semi-defenses of Edog?

Like he says, the amount owed to Voulgaris is insanely insane and yet Erick Lindgren payd 80% of it. Let's just say that the amount is 3mm or in that area. Paying upwards of 2,5mil, even tho it takes ages, tells me that he at least wants to be clear of this.

I don't see EL, after reading this, as a scammer or welcher. His excuses are BS and lies, but everything I read about him and his degeneracy indicates that he eventually pays. Even the guys in the HSNL thread says that. After a lot of hassle and needling. As far as I can tell he's never said "fu I won't pay". That has to count for something.

Also, this is really blowing up because it's Lindgren. Had it been someone you could expect this from, like Chino, it would have been more meh. ELs got this clean appearance and seems like a really good guy on the screen and now that he's falling from grace a lot of people seem to really enjoy that. It's like "I knew there was something fishy about that guy".

Level 3: 100-200, ante

It looked as though the field was going to be down a Shooting Star as the first two levels of play came and went without an appearance from Erick Lindgren.

Turns out Lindgren was still coming, just running a little late. Lindgren missed his flight, but caught another one that got him to Bay 101 in time to play, but not in time to make the group photo.

With Lindgren's arrival, there are now 28 bounties in today's field.


...
When someone busts Lindgren, do they have to wait a couple years for the bounty?

If FTP pay the players 80% in 8 years that's good enough in my opinion.

Seriously wtf is this ****? You make $3m+/year? You pay your ****ing debts before you live like a baller and piss away money gambling.


I can't even imagine the stress this probably caused Haralabous during these years. Not to mention if it's as big a sum as implied it probably cost him a lot of value as the money could have been used in other ventures.
And from his post it seems like he had to spend a lot of time and money to just get these % hes gotten after close to a decade.

I briefly touched on some things in this thread that are being misunderstood. First of all, you cannot defend the indefensible and I have no plans on doing that whatsoever. As for "old school/new school" I'm going to spend a lot of time on that, but that doesn't mean what many of you think it does. It's more related to old school mentality enabling degens to continue degenning, while new school calls them out. Personally, new school is more in line with how I think things should be handled in the poker world.

I mean, everyone pretty much knew Edog was a slow payer but they gambled with him anyway. Why? Mainly because he was a sucker so it was a bit like laying a price. Example, if you could make an even money wager with someone, despite feeling like a 2-1 favorite, but also knew that it might take a year or longer to get paid, would you do it? Most people would... And did.

Erick never "stiffed" anyone in the traditional sense. He's never said "I'm not paying." he certainly has shown an immense lack of respect for people he gambles with by not making the clearing of debts a priority, but his intentions have always been to ultimately pay.

The Haralabos example is a good one. I know how much he owed Haralabos and it's just a mind boggling sum. I mean, just freaking insane. No, insanely insane. I have talked to Haralabos in the past about what a pain in the ass it was to collect from Edog, and while I get that, again, Erick didn't plan on "stiffing" him, but he certainly didn't make collecting an easy process.

The fact that Haralabos admits Erick has paid 80 or 90% of the debt tells you something. He can't be classified as a welcher. He pays... If he can, and if you hassle him about it. Indefensible behavior, but it's the truth.

I'm not defending Erick. For a long time I've given him crap about the way he handles debt and I think it's completely awful and inexcusable. I've had plenty of degen friends, but none as unique as Erick. An optimist like I've never seen before.

I feel bad for him that he put himself in this spot. It is pathetic. Just mind boggling. I also empathize with those people that gambled with him and weren't aware of his slow paying tendencies. They have every right to be furious. For those that did know, but gambled with him anyway, well they had to factor that into the risk they took when they gambled with him.


I have never ever ever spoke publicly about people's personal finances when it comes to debt. Privately sure, but never publicly. There are plenty of people in the poker world who I'd consider enemies, who are dead broke, but the public thinks they are flush and "great people.". I don't out them... And I won't. That's just a line I won't cross.

I didn't chime in on the Chino situation, or any similar cases, but this case is unique since its been outed and because it's Erick. He isn't going to like my vlog. I still consider him a friend, and I root for him to make a "comeback" but I don't know what's goiing to happen with that.

I'm owed personally a ton of money by a lot of people. I won't out them. In fact, I saw a guy last night in SJ, chatted with him for a while, and wont out him publicly. He owes me close to half a million and I'll probably never see a dime of it. I know Erick is also owed a boatload of money as well, whiich is somewhat ironic, but it's unlikely he'll see much of that.


I could write a book on this topic, but I want to save some for next weeks vlog. Anyone who questions my character in terms of dealing with "poker issues" just doesn't know me at all.

Do I see Edogs degeneracy as different from what FTP has done? Absolutely.
Do I feel like Chino, TJ, or Edog deserve a baseball bat to the balls for owing personal debts? No.
Am I jaded in thinking that because Edog is a friend? No.
Do I know of people I don't like in the poker world who owe MORE than Edog does? Yes.
Do I think they deserve baseball bats to the nuts? As much as I personally dislike this person...no.
Will I tell you who this person is? Despite the fact that I might enjoy this person being outed, its not in my nature to do that, not do I think it's my place to... So I won't.
Spectacular post.

Daniel have any of the poker worlds shortcomings over the last year or so made you want to take a step back form the light and not be a poker hero anymore? On the basis of "you can only be a white knight among thieves for so long"? Also can you describe two interactions (with quotes) with Annie Duke and Howard Lederer that made you say "those people are not MY people." And lastly, what is your favourite poker show you've ever been on? My guess is Million Dollar Challenge but ionno yo. TY

He didn't mention anything about the person owing being a degen only that he likely wont see it... IE. Someone that lost a large revenue stream (FTP)... leads me to guess the mouth

He said he still considers edog a good friend, but doesn't know if the feeling will be mutual after he posts his march 13th vlog.
