Re: Phil Ivey Gossip
For that kind of money you are playing off of an established official HC card. Not that those can't be [censored] with but it's a big step towards legitimacy. If their card reads 83, 88, 85, 92, 82, and they come out and throw up a 74 I am gonna call BS. But at least you have a reference. I do not know the structure of their bet (stroke/match/wolf etc.) but I guarantee you for that kind of bank we are playing it by PGA rules. No improving your lie, mulligan, grounding your club, stroke+distance etc. A developing player will still struggle w/these and bunker shots, up/downhill lies, hardpan, etc. are huge assets to the scratch golfer in these situations of having to give up a lot of strokes. I would love to know the structure of the bets.
You can also adjust after so many holes in cases where an unknown or unestablished HC is at play, but this is stated before tee off.

[ QUOTE ] Lying about your handicap in golf is cheating not hussling [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] First of all, learn to spell. Secondly it is hustling, not cheating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustling "Hustling is the deceptive act of disguising one's skill in a sport or game with the intent of luring someone of probably lesser skill into gambling with the hustler, as a form of confidence trick." Exactly what was described above. So you are both wrong.

Re: Phil Ivey Gossip
I dont believe any of this to be fair.
Why on earth would Ivey risk damaging his reputatation, i.e. his word, to make a million or two? You have to except everyone would try and get an edge for themselves but no way would it ever be pushed to this extreme. No-one would golf for money with Ivey again if this were true...oh except for the guy in here who claims to be a pro lol!

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not saying this actually did take place at all, but if it did it is hustling not cheating. Edit: btw what is "fair" in hustling? Hustling is not about being "fair", it is about getting an edge.
