Daniel's actions re the lawsuit.

Daniel expressed his opinion in a video blog, and that is it. Despite you higher education, it seems to me that you are not familiar with what a blog is. A blog is where someone (often daily) expresses thoughts/opinions on current issues. You do not need an education to express your opinion in a blog, and people who follow Negreanu's blog are aware of that. We who read blogs do not expect a blogger to start every blog with "I do not have an education on this, but...".

He knows or should know that his doing so will tend to turn at least some of the public opinion against the plaintiffs.

Not nearly as much as your comment about being happy to see Dan Negreanu being eliminated from the WSOP.


[ QUOTE ]
I said he is stupid or a sockpuppet. I really don't see how there is a legitimate 3rd option.

A 3rd option is that he has a valid point that this lawsuit will draw negative attention to online poker (since all seven of you are sponsored by online poker sites), and therefore hurt poker as a whole.

I’d love to see the attitude of these 7 “Stars” in 5 years time. With 5 new WSOP champions who will want to use the “Image” of Raymer or Hachem. As for Bloch, Duke, Lederer , Gordon and Ferguson with a new breed of more talented and more interesting 20 something players entering the scene every year they will soon find themselves B list poker “celebs” (Lederer and Gordon are already there). No one forced them to sign the agreement with the WPT and no-one forces them to play in the events. They are all already Multi Millionaires but yet want to squeeze more cash for themselves out of poker fans like us.

Also Greg should show a bit more respect to Daniel. He is a genuine poker great who built his reputation over years of play as opposed to luck boxing one tournament.

Do you work for the WPT too?

"The Complaint alleges that WPTE and the casinos have unlawfully conspired to eliminate competition for the services and intellectual property rights of top, high stakes professional poker players. In particular, the Complaint alleges that the casinos have agreed with WPTE that they will not host any non-WPT televised poker tournaments."

I'm not a lawyer, but I think this is why it's considered an antitrust lawsuit.

In other words, if the option were available for someone to negotiate with the same casinos that host WPT events to produce other televised tournaments, then they would be "fine" with choosing whether or not to play on the WPT and sign the release forms.
