I dont think anyone looks down on dutch for selling it, they look down at him for a bunch of other better reasons, and enjoy the fact he has to pawn his trophies

If somebody offered me heads-up that I could have all the money and they'd keep the bracelet I would say no way.

Well if we play I'll offer you the bracelet and I'll take the money then. Poker is just a means to an end to a lot of people including myself. Really, on your death bed are you going to wish you had played more poker?

While I like to kid around as much as anyone, a lot of the things coming from 2+2 and society in general lately are very sad. The poker world has a tremendous amount of mental illness running rampant, and 2+2 is certainly a haven for antisocial narcissists.

Wait, what? Maybe he is a genius. The amazing thing about this is that there were multiple people bidding and willing to pay a 40% premium! PT Barnum sure was right...

Part of the write up states:-
It's a nice looking bracelet, but I've never worn it. So I'm selling it to raise some Christmas cash.

His relatives must be hoping for some expensive gifts...

If you have a family/kids who are living when you die you will wish you had more to give them...at least I would.

Of course. The poker world is relishing in his demise!! He was Howard Lederer before Howard Lederer (on a much smaller scale) and not only showed his face in poker rooms, he celebrated on ESPN and claimed he and his crew were going to conquer the poker world after stealing from the poker world.

Pretty sure the moment it's won means a lot to some players and the item is a reminder of that moment

Somebody just bid 1,000,000 repeatedly, so it never sells.

You never know what will sell. Right after the wsop main event 2006 several of those wsop "all in" chips hit ebay. Harrah's thought it be a good idea of a all-in chip instead of people moving whole stacks back and forth, it was a bust of an idea and was only used for the 06' ME....I'm not sure why but I bought 3 of the damn things....I'll pass on disclosing price...lol
