Default Re: Richard Lee forfeits most of his WSOP winnings!

That cash in the wsop is a win, but if you literally read what he said he never mentioned wsop, just have to go out and win another tourney.

But we are splitting hairs. Should he have said I'll have to go out and get another 6th place cash at the wsop? Of course not, what he said was completely natural and it was juvenile to mock him for it. So i mocked the guy who said it because wtf are his credentials to mock a wsop final tabler who played very good poker?

Understandable I suppose, just out of context for 2p2. Mocking is done whether it's deserved or not and I didn't see why that one was singled out since it was funny.

Oh well, difference of opinion I guess imo.

yea this seems like a legal form of bribery to me too, and it seems like he got off easy. hearing about this would not be a deterrent to starting an illegal bookmaking operation at all.

If this was a drug dealer, would it bother you that they took his money? If you do something illegal, you cannot profit. Any money you get from illegal enterprise, can be confiscated.

Those daughters look a lot like Mrs. Lee, but not much like Mr. Lee.

The difference is after they bust a drug dealer and take his money, they then dont go "ok, you are free to go!"

So my retort to the guy was like wtf you talking about, of course the guy has won tourneys and why are you acting so high and mighty when I'm sure you can't top a $2 million dollar cash.

[/ QUOTE ]

so when I win a $60 sit and go, does this mean i really got last because i didn't make 2 million?
