Marle not knowing UK is as unsurprising as her liking Alex Jones though, not sad at all she lost, even to Postle. Guess she can't dump another 6 figures in high stakes games when they could barely beat 2/5.
If you had read my posts you would have noticed that I have often commented on the difference between the legal approaches of the two countries, so yes, I know they are miles apart. That is why I have welcomed the legal explanations that have taken a much greater emphasis on this thread recently, as it is a way for someone from a distance, like me, to get to understand the US legal background better, and for US readers without an expertise in poker defamation cases to brush up on this specialist area.
I had never said anything about Marle not knowing UK law, why should she? But I did mention that her finding the way he played a hand was suspicious seemed to be poor grounds to support a case, as it is such a big jump, if I played you at poker and said I was suspicious about the way you played a hand so I thought you were cheating, I don't think you would (rightly) be too impressed with my case! But that was pretty much the case made against Postle.
