Hi guys! It's been quite a while since my last visit, so much so that my old email address is dead and has been for many years, so let me restart the counter from zero.
First, thanks to the 3 guys who were in Montreal to represent us all. Never an easy task to sit down in front of suits.
My only point for this day, and it hould be enough, is that I used to work for a company named Gametronix. It was a startup based in Montreal, under its owner and CEO, a young guy named David Bazoov. THE David Baazov. I worked as a poker consultant for David for about 2 years as co-owner of Poker-Solution.com, another Montreal based (but much smaller company) poker oriented startup.
From the start, David was a genius, and an avid learner. He has very strong ties in the Montreal Jewish community and is using its connections very well, to say the least!
Gametronix was working on an electronic poker tables project when I came in. His product was impeccable, at a time when the industry thought this was the future of casino poker. Boy, were we wrong!!! But we did not know that at the time, and Gametronix was trying to impact the market, with not much success.
David's answer? Get some high profile players to go along with him, represent the brand. He chose 2 very well respected players at the time, made them part owners of a new company he would name Amaya ( in respect for the Avaya company) and hope their expertise and reputation would carry this new company to new heights.
The name of these two players? Howard Lederer and Chris Ferguson.
While I understand some posters may be afraid David's poker knowledge may be thin, this should comfort you: he has some good counselors
I will stop at this for my first "new" post. Again, thx to all 3 who joined the Amaya brass, trying to change the way they are currently dealing with poker players all around the wordl. Hopefully, eventually DN will join us in this fight!
