Regarding getting funds back from the DOJ for FTP is it only for US players? Or is that for all players like ROW and EU players Too?

Thanks

DOJ would only be only involved with US players. If the site is actually resurrected, ROW players would cash out directly from through the site. What limitations might be put on ROW cashouts is anybody's guess.

I can't wait to listen just to see how many times Boston will correct MJ's grammar.

BTW, Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends.

Sounds like a good show, I look forward to listening in the next couple days. Boston can always be counted on for a colorful interview, and I'm curious what he has to say in support of howard
11-25-2011 , 02:55 AM
I must be in the minority here since it seems as though people advocate for Alan Boston to be on the program, but I find his interviews to be pathetic nonsense. It's fair to assume everyone agrees he's an obnoxious, clueless human being as this is transparently obvious to anyone who has heard him on the show. Perhaps it's his crass language and witless repartee that certain people find amusing for some reason, but I can't figure it out. I don't know yet how I feel about him defending Howard but my opinion on this clown stands regardless. He's obviously bitter in life, perhaps it's because he resembles an extraterrestrial, or that he was never that great at any form of poker, or a combination of the two. Alan is a poor role model for our sport and if we want to hear from someone who is poor at sport betting and a complete life degen there are better characters in our community to get that from.

It's not fair at all.

Obnoxious is your opinion, but he's certainly not clueless as he's made his living gambling for most of his adult life.

Ya, because he's the only person in the poker world that swears. Most of the people we interview don't swear on our show, but in person at the poker table it's a much different story. Alan just doesn't filter his language or opinion when he does an interview.

You call that crass, I call it genuine.

Wait, so he's bitter and crass but this isn't?

Quote:

And you know this how? I'm sure he'd be happy to take on you, or most anyone, at 7 stud for example.

Poker isn't a sport and Alan is not anywhere close to being thought of as a role model. As far as your statement that he's bad at sports betting, again you really have no idea if he is or not.

Many of poker's most interesting people have had periods of life degen-ness, that's what makes them interesting. I'd rather listen to any one of them then another 20 year old that binked a tournament.
