If anybody doesnt think that there is a bunch of greed on these 7's part then they are a bit naive.

With player like Hachem involved do you really think its about anything else? They can attempt to spin it however they want but with the timing of this they are completely spitting in the faces of all the other players they pretend to be protecting.

I find it interesting that with half of the 7 on the PPA board that they are taking time away from actually defending poker to fight this nonsense case. If they really cared about the other players and not about lining their own wallets they would be in Washington fighting for the players. Instead they are going to court for some stupid issue.

More likely i think they are tryin to cover themselves in case the online bill passes. If it does they can say bye bye to their endorsements and all that will be left is the WPT for major year round tournaments which if they are people of principle (which i doubt) they will have to avoid them which will cost them even more money.

Seriously if you want to take on the WPT thats fine. But doing it now just makes the 7 look like selfish jerks

Umm.. Selfish for wanting to protect themselves from being a WPT slave for the rest of their lives?

Donk.

and thats fine to feel that way...but right now there are much more pressing issues out there. Those beloved sites that they rep. are about to be banned and as DN pointed out it will be back to smaller sized tournaments and far less money from endorsements and so forth. If they are naive to think that the fact that they are all endorsed by sites who want better sponsorship at these tournaments isnt going to come up then they really need to sit and think about that.

If they were really after all the players best interests they would build a big enough group of the pros to actually get something done (ala players unions or boycotts that are actually meaningful). Lets be honest, those 7 have boycotted the WPT and it hasnt hurt the ratings.

As Dn posed in his blog...where are the examples of misuse by the WPT? You want a rallying point for the players...show the examples of misconduct and im sure you can get a large group that would want to see changes made...
until then it just looks liek a group who are greedy and hurting the overall picture of poker
