Well, with respect to the POTRIPPER tournament you have to start with a refund of entry fees. No one had a chance. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the players he KO'd were just the type who stood a very good chance of winning the tourney. an intelligent person who played with this guy for 10 minutes would have been under the impression that he was making huge bluffs, and played very aggressively against him. Of course, those are the guys who got knocked out. In fact, the best way to play this guy was to get lucky and have a lucky table assignment, and then just get lucky enough to not have run ins with him.

It wasn't a tourney at all. I'm not suggesting any winners should be returning money, at all. But no one should be out one nickel.

The cash games are more complicated. Obviously, first off everyone who lost a dime to these accounts should have that money returned, dollar for dollar. Beyond that, it does get difficult to determine true losses as a "bet saved is a bet won."
