whats to stop barry giving scotty financial incentive to win when they get heads up as well? they're not idiots, this will have come up and be pretty much a non issue

What Barry have to Offer Scotty here? The most he can get is 25k. Beside deal to lose the game so much easier than deal to win it.

Eli has said in interviews that he plays tournaments completely differently than cash games. He plays much looser in cash games because he can re-load if he busts.

Given the hand that TS explained and watching him on HSP, I doubt he is capable of changing his game from what it is.

We all know those people who say play the player but don't know the first thing about applying it to their game.

I'm going to try to find out what happened. My guess is that Eli and Barry settled beore any deals were made.

I got it about right. Barry gave me permission to say that. He may or may not elaborate.

Isn't the story that Larry Flynt got banned from the WSOP back in the day because he tried to buy off his opponents with a few tables left in order to win a prop bet with Doyle Brunson on whether or not he would win a bracelet? Or do I misremember?

[/ QUOTE ]

yea but he was buying chips from his opponents for cash

lol @ everyone ignoring sklansky's attempt to add content to this thread. 1-1 DS starts a new thread titled "I Was Pretty Much Right About The Barry/Eli Bet"

from some of the hands posted it really did look like scotty threw it...especially considering how bad he was spanking him before the deal break

[/ QUOTE ]

Sad, if true. I hope the board gives Eli at least the same sh*t they did Liz Lieu when she bought a tournament win awhile (a year ago?) back.

...all his income is coming from the cherokee casino in tulsa...they put him in every tournament so his fees are covered...

[/ QUOTE ]

When he was on Casino Diaries, Scotty told us he has to feed like half the boat people in Henderson (OK, maybe 14). I'm sure he would be interested in any deal that Eli came up with.
