...are you serious? Do you have any idea what you're talking about? Do you even know what casinos do? They exploit people by funneling alcohol down their throats, and then offering up games that are statistically at a house advantage, always.
How does taking advantage of a business that thrives on exploiting people through alcohol coercion and addiction constitute a bad character?
On the cheating note, I don't think he was cheating. Have you even played the games pre black Fri? They were a complete joke. There's not a doubt in my mind that Ivey, being as good a live player as he is, was able to single handedly reap 20mil playing those ridiculously soft games.
...and concerning his downswing. Isn't it obvious? He hasn't kept up with the online play, and the games have become exponentially more difficult. 25/50 back then plays like 1/2 now. If he was cheating pre black fri, why would he voluntarily loose 5mil in present time playing online when he would know damn well he can't keep up?
Use your god damned heads. You're supposed to be logical thinkers.
