Ah, yes, the good old "but they're all scammers" justification for supporting a scammer.
If you don't believe Eakman is a scammer, that's one thing. But comparing outright stealing money from people (if I'm correct that this is what Eakman is accused of) with a casino in order to justify playing at Eakman's poker club is laughable. And if everyone who runs a Houston-area underground poker room has also stolen money from people, you probably shouldn't be playing at those rooms either.
Also, LOL @ "what ax you have to grind" - yes, many people have an ax to grind with those they believe to have stolen money. Is that surprising to you? Perhaps the question shouldn't be why someone else has an ax to grind, but why you don't.
