The obvious play now is to sue for age discrimination since you have evidence that he might have denied you based on your age.

I think he was overly truthful in some Cardplayer interviews.

Yes, sue FTP in like [censored] Gatalupos or whetever island they reside on based on Age Dicrimination. Perhaps the Supreme Court will take interest.

Secondly, I have loosely said several things about people I work with, many of them based on comic principal without deep layered thought. Like, "this guy is a tool," when at the heart of it, he's a nice and reasonably intelligent person. Fair enough. But, here, "the professor of poker," this man who postures himself as a thoughtful businessman of the poker community, seems to have influenced a decision worth several thousands of dollars because someone is "a freak and a really weird dude." Let's forget about the fact that 95% of successful pokoer players are "freaks" and/or "really weird dudes."

One would think that as someone who takes interest in the poker community's progress, he would do research on Gobbo and realize that the benefits of having him as an FTP member would far outweigh the costs. But, no. Instead, Gobbo is a "freak and a "really weird dude." Nonsense.

That rubs me the wrong way and causes me concern as to several more global, business orientated decisions that FTP and other poker sites make. Multiply that by 100 because FTP let this one leak. FTPDoug - care to comment?

i don't really see the problem with FTP turning him down. The only reason anyone is arguing is because you're all friends with him.

I'm sure Fulltilt has an image it wants to portray as prototypical of "their" players.

That seems to be one of professionalism at the poker table. Whether these people actually are or aren't is irrelevant. It's how people see them and what image they provoke.

For an example, look at the aussie millions coverage. i just checked out the first 30 seconds. Andrew Black and Gus Hansen are sponsored by FTP. They all look neatly shaven, showered, and well put together. Jimmy looks like he just rolled out of bed and through on some clothes.

there's nothing wrong with what he did or chose to wear or anything, but i don't see how anyone is surprised that he doesn't portray the image FTP is looking for
