This. Anybody who spent time around Isai fully understands that he operates the way he does not because it makes more money, but because it's how he believes an upstanding person behaves. He plays the business game very hard, and tries to win, but never
ever at the cost of his ethics, morals, or principles. And in fact, most of us have multiple stories of his spending money out of his pocket to stand behind those ethics, morals, and principles.
His contribution to poker can't be overstated, and imo, the WSOP Hall of Fame is a joke until Isai is in it.
