Re: 6/18 Rio gossip
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] doesn't TJ have a wife and lot's of friends who all surely know what a massive problem he has with craps? How has no one intervened and gotten this guy into GA? [/ QUOTE ] LOOOL. TJ's been doing this longer than most of us have been alive. He makes his money at the poker table and dumps it out on the floor. [/ QUOTE ] exactly my point. how have people that care about him let this go on like this all these years?

Re: 6/18 Rio gossip
Let him go on like what? His wife seemingly likes him, she is with him travelling most of the time. He makes enough money with books, appearances, charity events and the occasional cash that he apparently isn't homeless. He doesn't rob or steal to support his habit. So he has to bum money to support his craps habit. Probably BECAUSE people who care about him manage his "living" money since they know he has gambling issues.
He does have gambling issues, obviously. What would you expect him to do? Stay out of casinos? He is certainly not the only famous person with a leak, and his leak would appear to be less harmful than most. He is clean, well-dressed, doesn't stink, has a family, apparently eats on a regular basis.......and can't keep away from the craps table. So what.

[/ QUOTE ] IMO begging people over and over for money is pretty close to stealing. It's a stick-up pretty much, because the person asked is giving away money against their will. I dont think many people would seek TJ out to give him money.

Re: 6/18 Rio gossip
Lyle Berman is TJ's backer for poker tournaments. I wonder how he makes sure that TJ doesn't piss away his tourney winnings at the craps table before he gets his cut?

Re: 6/18 Rio gossip
Actually, my understanding is that last bracelet T.J. won, he was so deep into Lyle for his table propensities he basically walked away without any money at all. As it's been longer now I would think he really under. Lyle tends to be a very forgiving backer with his friends, I don't really think he does these things for a strictly profit motive.

Re: 6/18 Rio gossip
speaking of degens, i was with jurollo & co. the night of his big cash, and i was sweating some of them playing blackjack while having drinks, and layne flack was at the next table over, playing ~$3k/hand blackjack and drinking/smoking a cigar. it was really depressing to see.

[/ QUOTE ] Why is this depressing? TJ needing to borrow a few hundred from PH to play $100 craps is a totally diff story... I overheard Flack talking to Johnny Chan about an offer he was making on a $1.7-$1.8M house. $3K bj hands may very well be in the budget & just a way to socialize & blow off a little steam like the avg guy playing $25-$50 hands. ... plus... what if he's actually BEATING the bj game ala Andy Bloch?
