Always thought he looked so trustworthy on TV. Guess I was wrong. Looking at old poker broadcasts in a couple of months is going to look very weird. Though tbh I always thought he sucked at poker, but I suck too so I'm not too sure how valuable that opinion is. :)

It was mentioned in another thread earlier - can't remember which, but I read about it yesterday from a NVG link.

#18467 in FTP thread. And after being ignored, again a few (short) pages later.

Why don't these HS morons escrow money at the beginning of the league?

I'd be very surprised if Erick doesn't have the cash to pay. He's probably nervous about the whole FTP situation and holding onto every penny he can until he's sure exactly where he stands. Not saying it's right obv but it just seems like most logical explanation.

In your mind, the most logical explanation for a known degenerate gambler is that he's conserving money for other potential debts? That's like walking into the house of a known alcoholic who's passed out on the floor in the middle of the day with liquor bottles scattered around him and saying the most logical explanation is that he simply felt like an afternoon nap rather than passed out from drinking too much.

I'm sure that there have been plenty of cases of people not paying their debts to some guy across the country sending him emails so they have enough cash on hand to pay the guy standing over them with a tire iron.

The overwhelming majority of people associated with FTP are total scum.

Most of these "Poker Pros" from full-tilt got RICH AND FAMOUS from us!!!!

It makes me sick - $250,000 a month??? WHO THE **** WAS ERICK LINDGREN TO MAKE $3,000,000 A YEAR??

Seriously, every time I hear how much money these idiots were getting I want to puke.


By the way, I thought Daniel Negreanu and Lindgren were best friends. Wouldn't be shocked if Daniel is staking Erick. Something I have definitely learned is that probably 1/2 of the starting field of these $10,000 buy-ins are cash poor and don't have a pot to piss in.

No wonder Clonie Gowan sued FTP - she saw how unlimited the money was(from us). And that also shows me how we get brainwashed with this crap.(see below example)

I'll end with this example - watch season 1 episode of World Poker Tour in Costa Rica. They do a small little feature about a woman who never played a poker tournament before down there named "CYCLONA GOWEN". In those little clips you can see Jesus Ferguson hanging out with her and flirting with her. He obviously wanted something from her because fast forward 1 year later: Now she's a FTP POKER PRO???? ARE YOU F'N KIDDING ME??? She went from some woman on a Costa Rica vacation who NEVER played a poker tournament to a FTP PRO. That should have been the first of MANY RED FLAGS with Jesus and his whole FTP crap.

Man, I'm angry.

It is awesome that the Full Tilt guys, Lindgren, Greenstein and the like all get their 15 minutes of fame from making a final table at the wsop that is televised over and over on espn. They start to believe how great they are due to their 15 minutes and blow off basic things like paying back debt, How do these guys have the onions to show up at a future tourney and sit down at a table?

Love to bust Greenstein at a table and as he begins to get his cheesy book out to sign I just start busting out loud laughing, what a joke.

Always wondered how Lindgren got his money. 250k a month from Full Tilt for putting on a hat while playing poker explains it. Sad that somebody could piss all that away gambling.

That bull**** about sending out nonexistant cheques for 2.5k is just lol. Hard to even comprehend. NVGtard opinion obv but GL getting money from this guy if he does go broke imo.

I moved towns once and my boss would not send me a cheque because I wasn't there to hassle him. Gave me the exact same run around as Lindgren, paid up real quick when I said I will be forced to go to small claims court because I needed the money. Funny how Lindgren's going to be hated now over 2k, he really screwed himself over.
