Re: WPT should be sued
I think that its messed up, that people come on here bash JJ, for christ's sake she was 4 months preggers, as far as I know, you can still do just about anything at that point. I don't think there is any negligence on her part, BUT I also don't think that any tournament should be stopped. I think it is ridiculous to consider, part of tournaments is physical stamina, and I don't want to sound like a complete a sshole, but I don't think it is fair to Ted, to postpone or rescehdule, etc. It completely changes the ebb and flow especially HU. I am sure there are many instances where people have endured under much pain and duress, to change the rules and allow a medical break is not keeping in line with tournament procedures (although I am sure many of these precedents were set long before the current influx of female poker players, it may be time to make some adjustments)
All in all, I think that JJ's performance was herioc to say the least, I really hope everything is ok with her.
As far as suing the WPT.. They did not force her to stay, she could have left, had she chosen to.
Once again, best wishes to JJ and her family.
