There's more at his site, including a trip to the mental hospital.

So he watches his buddy get a beat down after trying to retrieve a doo-rag (no doubt a Boyd family heirloom)

Classy guy dutch... very classy....

Wow I am completely surprised that would happen in Columbia.

We. Todd. Ed.

BEAT: Dutch drives a Sebring.

Oops...

Why he didn't just call Scott Fishman and the rest of "The Crew" to come & take over Columbia by storm? I thought they rolled hard like that......

what a dog for bailing on his mates yo

it didn't happen in Columbia.

Dutch was going to help his buddy in a timely manner--but there were wicked sun spots that day which prevented it.

The doo-rag thief obviously figured that was his only chance at ever getting restitution from the money he lost on Poker Spot.

what kind of doo rag was it? it might have been a pretty sweet doo rag.

In another blog entry a little farther down the page Douche talks about how he speculated on some domain names in college, here's his quote:

"So I registered PokerSpot.com, PokerSpot.net, and PokerSpot.org. I didn't know what I was going to do with them. It turned out that the whole business model got a little screwed up, but no use crying over spilled milk. I registered some more domain names and walked away to focus on getting better at poker."


That's an interesting take on the situation. I don't understand how this guy doesn't get junk-punched regularly just for having the balls to show his pos face.

great location Flopboot.

Thanks... if yours means what I think it means, then that's pretty funny.

Someone please give Dutch his doo rag back!

Both these high rollers have some fancy ass cars huh, and neither could fight their way out of a papper bag. I guess if you go to college at 12 you are used to being beat up a lot though

Of course that was your first instinct Dutch. I'm sure all former pokerspot players could attest to that.

Welcome Home Dutch

My trip back home to Columbia has been a real pain in the ass. Me and my buddy Tepen got into a fight on my first night back... well, it wasn't so much a fight as a beatdown. Some dude at this bar called Sky High decided it'd be a good idea to snag my doorag from my head... while I was sitting in the passengers seat with the window down driving away. I got out and he started dancing around like a butterfly boxer. I kinda gave him this weird WTF look. Then Tepen got out of the car and the guy started throwing punches at Tepen (who hadn't even said a word to the guy).

I snagged my doorag from the parking lot where he threw it and then looked back to see Tepen taking way the worst of the fight. He didn't even get a punch in, which surprised me because he's been in a lot of fights. To his credit, he was pretty drunk at the time. The dude swinging punches had a bunch of friends with him, so I decided it would be a better idea to just get into the car and scoop Tepen and drive away. So I jumped into the driver's seat and yelled at Tepen to hop in. But he was pretty stunned and his face was all bloody, and he just kinda stood there in a daze. So then this dude tries to come in from the passenger's side to shake my hand I guess... I wasn't having it. So I popped that bitch in reverse and clipped him with the open door. Problem was one of his buddies' SUV was parked right behind me and I creamed it pretty good. The dude and all of his friends except the guy with the SUV took off in a hurry when they heard the crunch.

My first instinct was to take off too, so I yelled at Tepen to get into the car. But then I looked behind me and saw the damage to the SUV and saw the dude's friend on the phone... figured he was calling the police and that I'd end up in deep trouble if I left the scene. So Tepen and I waited a couple minutes and two cops came out to sort the mess out.

They told me that we could file charges against the dude, but that it would fall under misdemeanor assault and the only thing that would happen to him is he'd get a little ticket. (Which is complete bs, btw... there is a big distinction between assault and battery. Assault is if you scare someone... battery is when you actually hit them... so it should fall under some sort of battery law. Figure the cops just didn't want to deal with it...)

So anyway, we told the story and swapped insurance info with the dude's friend. The really bad beat was that Tepen, since he's had so many DUIs and accidents, only has liability only. The repairs to his Cadillac would have to come out of my pocket.

We took it into a shop the next day and got an appraisal... $3800 to fix the thing. I looked up the bluebook value of the car and it was only $3150. So I told Tepen he was out of luck and that I wasn't about to spend 4k to fix a 3k car. He got all bent out of shape. Then I asked him how much he bought the car for... 3k. From a used car dealer in Bowling Green. Anyway, I offered to give him my Sebring which bluebooked at over 4k and 5 hundo. Thought that would be a good result, since it'd give him a good car and put some money in his pocket (which he really needs right now). He turned it down, and instead made me give him the bluebook value in cash and then he spent it to fix the car. I guess the $3800 estimate he had was to also fix the dent in the door from where I clipped the dude. And the true cost to get it running again was more like 3k.

Anyway, what a pain... the trip back home got even worse.

Were they killed from the germs while putting it in the washing machine?

I actually like Dutch Boyd.

Pokerspot **** aside (where he just got in way, way over his head- manic types have a tendency to do that, where they'll go on a manic tear and decide to build a bridge without realizing that they don't know how to build bridges until the whole damn thing collapses) he's very forthright and honest about his own life. He knows that saying this stuff is going to open him up to a lot of slings and arrows, but he does it anyway. Other than pokerspot, most of the stuff people make fun of him about is things that he has voluntarily made public.

Pretty certain that most of it isn't bullsht, since he very rarely winds up as the hero of the story and it's obvious that he's a bit socially ******ed, but I like him.

Who's Dutch Boyd?



Oh I forgot- the next big thing in poker.

No, no.. that was The Crew.. oh, wait... what?

What a FINE human being.

Notice his friend was too drunk to fight, but apparently not too drunk to drive.

Good thing SUPERDutch was there to save the day, hop in the driver's seat and cause $3800+ damage to one car (and who knows how much to the other) in his quest to save the day. Once scum, always scum.
