Hi ToiletFlush:

You might be surprised how inexpensive that billboard actually was! It's an amazing value, especially given all the people who will drive past it and experience this joke for the first time.

There's a lot of jokes where that's true, where the jokes are "too much", and it keeps pros away because they're like "well we can't laugh at this." But overall, for the game, it's actually better.

Best wishes,
SrslySirius

I just assumed that picture was photoshopped ... because its the internet... but yeah no. Well played. Curious what this costs, assuming it's for the entire month of June.

Of course Doug is the only one who is ‘at war’. Dnegs isn’t directly addressing it because he has no defense for his actions. He wants it swept under the rug. I wish more people had the balls to call Daniel out for being a two faced shill. If it feels like it got old a while ago, you clearly don’t give a **** about the state of online poker.

But Since your are defending dnegs, I atleast hope your not a pro/semi pro, cause if you are Daniel literally said ‘**** you’. Actually he whispered In his girls ear for her to say it, and then proceeded to laugh his ass off like it was the funniest thing he’s ever heard.

I kept wondering during the SHRB why Doug shirt had a billboard on it. I liked his other shirt better with an actual rake. But now the shirt makes complete sense lol

I have heard (as SrslySirius has said) that billboards are a lot less money than what you might think.

I assumed it had to cost thousands of dollars. It seems like a pretty good spot with lots of traffic.

Any miniscule respect I had for Doug is all but gone with his latest shenanigans. Seriously, this is just getting ridiculous. I wouldn't blame Daniel if he considered suing Doug for libel. Can we agree that DNegs "more rake is better" comment was said in jest and not to be taken literally? Everyone's getting tired of this bullying behavior.

p0kercasual, protecting the players from pros is no jesting matter. I certainly hope Daniel was being literal when he said these things.

Huh? The shirt doesn't have Daniel's name on it and I'm not a libel lawyer but I'm not taking your case. His comment wasn't in jest at all. MORE RAKE IS BETTER. You see because then the slightly winning player are now slight losers so they will go away and quit and then the games will be better. Overall more rake is better for the poker ecosystem. No joke.

Daniel Negreanu suing Doug Polk for libel would be as successful as Oscar Wilde suing for libel...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Wilde

Quote:
At the height of his fame and success, while The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) was still being performed in London, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry prosecuted for criminal libel. The Marquess was the father of Wilde's lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. The libel trial unearthed evidence that caused Wilde to drop his charges and led to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency with men. After two more trials he was convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labour, the maximum penalty, and was jailed from 1895 to 1897.

I think he already did react to it, he basically said some players highlight of the day is wearing a t-shirt, for him it's bagging the chip lead and eventually placing 2nd for $3m, versus a Day 1 bustout in a "cool" T-shirt.

Stars is trading for all time high so I'm sure he won't be bothered too much. He's getting that rake money after all.

Doug should get some investors and build a pokersite (maybe sports betting also, thinking of recent news). He probably would do a better (and faster) job than Galfond and Co. come to think of it. Call it Upswing Poker!

You're silly. I can't be Daniel because he's playing the $100k right now. Don't you have something better to do? Mr. Negreanu has been the ambassador for this game for years and he's a class act. Very annoying how he's being bullied by all of these doucheclowns like Doug!
