Over the years that I have been watching poker, I have heard some ridiculous criticism of Gold, Moneymaker, Yang, the fat dude with the silly sunglasses, and Varkonyi. They all have one thing in common, and you know what it is. I think the people who rip them look petty and jealous.

Anyway, I do know Jamie personally and have spoken with him many times.Everyone is entitled to their opinion about others and I respect that.

My only thing is do not stereotype those from seeing them on TV Poker Shows. Look what ESPN did to Tiffany Michelle. She was wrong in some of her decisions, but I also know Tiff and she is a very pleasant girl and well liked.

Have a nice day sir:)

We’re workin’ on it, Ed! We’re up well into the 10s of thousands now. Edbucks still pops in every so often. C’mon, he’s harmless …

(Scott, you see, Ed kinda hates Edbucks, but to electronically execute him requires a 2/3 majority amongst the power triad. Ed voted yes, I voted no, and The Other abstained.)

OK, sorry for the backstory … back to Jamie Gold … We’re done with this topic, right? Conclusion being that damn, so most likely Aced didn’t have the backing they needed to compete in the already plenty saturated American-friendly online poker market … and in the process they kinda screwed over Jamie Gold, Lisa Wheeler, and probably lots of others. Right?

I’m sure the screwees saw some red flags along the way, but wanted to hold out some hope for the goodness of an upstart and continued on in good faith. Often times when there are several potential screwees all working together and making good stuff happen (winning Dream Team, throwing cool events, putting the marketing wheels in effective motion, etc.) it’s enough to keep everyone holding out that hope that their checks will arrive. Total bummer. Sucks, actually. But we all know the risks in this business, and have all taken our financial lumps along the way from the likes of Aced Poker, Duplicate Poker, the Poker Bowl …

Sometimes you like your chances on a draw and just don’t get there, ya know?

Does that guy still come around under that name or did he find another person to impersonate? Maybe things have been busy in Richardson or wherever he calls home.

And don’t you worry about me Dan. You would have to be a douche in front of millions of people to get on my “unhappy” side.

(Seriously, Ed, Ed, Ed … please … take your finger off the switch!)

Also, fyi, EDBUCKS is different from Ed. He’s kinda like his less powerful evil twin.

Night. Sweet dreams and stuff.

If I ever have the chance to meet Jamie, I will make sure he looks you up here and say’s hello.

For you sir, I will make sure there is a little prayer for you tonite. It appears you are an unhappy person and need to vent your frustrations in a great Poker Forum.

We all appreciate you do, or there would be nothing to discuss at the Poker table when we are playing.

“Hey you know that guy, EDBUCKS, have youread his last post?”

Good Night Sir

It is kind of like the old adage “You get what you pay for”. He went with some “unknown” crap site…and he got bent over the table and violated with their big stack.

Acting like they are some sort of upper class individuals who now seem no better than most of the people I have put in LA County Jail!

Just put another picture of Jamie up saying it was his team who won the event.

Shame on those Aced Poker execs who think they can take from reputable people.
