Canadian poker players.

Was talking to some of the old underground players and they threw a little dirt around. Maybe already known or not that great, but meh.

1) Brad Booth's money is supposedly not from poker. Word is that he is involved in the darkside of the import/export business.

2) Daniel Negreanu was a huge degenerate and went broke many times. He had his gf at the time (evelyn ng) deal to make money and then would take it from her. If they played together, Evelyn would softplay but Daniel would always come right at her. If he lost, he'd take it back from her afterwards.

3) Gavin Smith was just as bad as Daniel. They said that he was the worst player they had ever seen and was the biggest donater of all time and constantly borrowed. Somehow he luckboxed into rooming with a well known pro (i think they said Lederer?).

i have trouble believing the negreanu story. i also have trouble believing the booth story because its a well known rumor that hes been playing on guy labertes money for years.

So these guys played in the Scarborough games with Negreanu and also the west coast/Yukon games with Brad Booth?
