Says he'll wear your hat or T-shirt as part of the deal. This would be almost worth it to have him wear one that says "TOOL".

(It's my favorite band, Dutch. Really, it is. That's why I want you to wear it.)

This is hilarious.

"This year I played a few more events with The Crew (a group of young players like myself) and watched as we took down three gold bracelets." we?

"The event is a NL Holdem tournament with a buy-in of 20,000 dkk (denmark dollars?)" /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

If the crew is such an unstoppable force in poker, why don't they stake him? That should be pocket change for players of their caliber.

Submitted for your consideration;

If you could buy them for what they are worth and sell them for what they think they are worth, you could make a significant profit.

BruinEric
01-09-2005, 01:45 PM
This is actually brilliant. If he can parlay his TV time into a stake like this, its awesome. I'm sure this will get him mocked mercilessly amongst profitable pros, but if he can take the heat without tilting, this is good stuff.

Spook
01-09-2005, 01:46 PM
He explains why he doesn't want to ask the crew on his blog. Worth the read.

He also says that PokerStars banned him. Why not buy half of him and force him to wear PokerStars appearal?

MicroBob
01-09-2005, 01:58 PM
that would be pretty funny.

this really is kind of bizarro.

FWIW - a couple of his crew buds (or former buds) are in Tunica at the WPO. I saw Jungblutt Friday night.....and a 2+2'er told me he saw Fischman and was VERY tempted to offer his opinion of him right to his face.
So....if either win a ton at the WPO perhaps they'll give their old pal a call.

From Dutch's blog where he whines about how tough he has it and that he is getting around to paying players back


[ QUOTE ]
For your information I HAVE paid players back. And I've also started paying at least a little bit to players that are owed more than I can afford to settle up... the reason you haven't heard about it is because I haven't required them to do anything except take the money. If you think it's a lie, go ask MS Sunshine if she's gotten anything out of me. And MS didn't even have to physically threaten me to get it.


[/ QUOTE ]


Has he really started to pay up to MS Sunshine as he seems to imply here?


Here's another snipet of his e-mail to a pissed-off RGP'er


[ QUOTE ]
From my records you had $2173 in your pokerspot account when the site closed. That took me awhile to figure out. It's going to take me even longer to go through the old checks and credit card records to see how much of the $4284 that you cashed out in your pokerspot history actually made it into your hands, which if any were bounced, and what if anything was charged back to your credit cards. Then finally I have to figure out how much of my bankroll I can afford to give you without risking going broke and having to play my way back at the .50/1 tables.

[/ QUOTE ]


So...after 4 years...he's complaining about how long it's going to take him to go through the records and figure it out.
It's been 4 years dude....I think you could have found the spare-time somewhere in there


[ QUOTE ]
I'm trying to juggle (1) getting a new company off the ground and not screwing it up like I did the first one, and (2) trying to keep myself afloat by playing poker in my spare time. Throw in way too much travelling and you got the reason it's taken me a little longer than I thought to get this [censored] in order.

[/ QUOTE ]


poor poor dutch. he's so busy doing these other things that he just doesn't have time to get around to the little stuff like paying the people who he has owed for the last 4 years.

Man, come on guys. Do you have to go out of your way to screw up every facet of this guy's life? You don't like someone? Big deal. That doesn't mean you have to [censored] with his Ebay account.

He wrote on his blog about buying directly into the Copenhagen tournament long before putting half his buyin on ebay.

Meeting and talking to Dutch will be one of the highlights of my trip to Denmark. He's trying to get back on his feet. You have to give him credit for at least that. If he has to put half of himself on ebay to play in a $3600 buyin tournament, it's obvious he's not living on "stolen" pokerspot money.

Seriously though, Dutch knows the marketing potential of being the most hated personality within the poker circles. He's been grooming this image now for over a year. He will make millions marketing himself this way.

In other words, he's playing you morons like a fiddle......once again.

I don't think pokerstars can stop him from wearing their apparel. although since they are linked to this tournament they might have enough clout to get the tournament organizers to force him to remove the pokerstars wear.

But, generally, this would be the same as me paying a group of 100 murderers and rapists to wear ball-caps of the New York Yankees, or Chevrolet, or ESPN, or a picture of George Bush or Mason Malmuth.
The party being represented certainly wouldn't like being linked with 100 rapists and murderers but they can't prevent them from wearing their logo.

Just for clarification, I was the one who saw Fischman, and I exerted a great deal of control by not offering my opinion of him to his face.

Upon reflection, I should have waited until he sat down at one of the games, and then go do a reverse dive onto the middle of the table after someone hits a 1 outer on him. What a douche bag.

Wasn't there a sequence in that WSOP event he won where it was shorthanded and a shortstack went all-in next to him, and while the guy was looking at his cards Fischman was leaned way back trying to see his cards, then after the guy is all-in he thinks for a minute, and then makes a "great" call with his K8 vs. the shorstack's K7? It looked like obvious cheating.

Now some of you may spend more time playing poker than on ebay, so this may be news to some of you...

Collusion exists on ebay. There is nothing to stop Ted from contacting his brother-in-law Ed, to run up the price of a pair of old galoshes, so YOU, the other interested bidder, pays more than you would have otherwise.

Now, given Dutch's spotless past and upright moral character, that he is held in the highest esteem among colleagues far and wide, and his reputation is of world renown, do you think that there is any chance something like a member of "The Crew" jacking up the price on this auction if they DO find a serious bidder?

Agreed. There is nothing wrong with his link from an eBay perspective. The guy is selling himself, not a toaster, and the link leads to important information about the service being auctioned.

It's OK to dislike the guy, but wasting eBay's time and money by filing a spiteful and bogus complaint is wrong.

coffeecrazy1
01-10-2005, 03:17 AM
You know...I've read numerous people quoting his blog about not (censored) where you eat being the reason for not getting the crew to stake him.

That is ridiculous.

I know for a fact that if I was a winning player who was well-connected to the poker world(which is not that hard to do), I would have poker friends who would be happy to stake me.

However, I don't have the reputation for running with other people's money that he has, so maybe the Crew is smarter than we give them credit for.

And, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The Crew is Poker's version of the Cobra Kai, and Dutch Boyd is their Johnny. He's just having a tough time sweeping the leg right now.

Doing better? I would say playing smarter.

Doggin,

There are many players on these boards that have been more sucessful than Dutch Boyd at poker. Yes, Greg Raymer counts.

Yes, Barry Greinstein counts.
Yes, David Sklansky counts.
Yes, there are many pros who don't need to resort to asking for 4k on EBay who post on this site.

Honestly, some people are so glazed over from these "TV stars" they have no idea who makes the real money at poker.

Again, think about it... Asking for backing on Ebay is very telling. It means those in the poker community do NOT support him. There is a reason for that. Honor is very important in the poker community. Obviously he has none.

If he was so sucessful, he wouldn't need our money anyway.
A lot of pros on 2+2 don't need backing. I would rate them as more sucessful. Period. Money management and honor are bigger parts of poker than you appear to understand.

NOTE-
I'm not going to mention any names of the successful 2+2 pros who haven't "been on TV". That's their own business. And it's your business if you want to base your opinions of poker success on the flickering box in your living room.

bdk3clash
01-10-2005, 03:00 PM
I'll be honest, I think Dutch Boyd is a results-oriented donk who has played in many, many tournaments and has placed highly in some of them. I doubt he's a winning player in the bigger cash games he's played in, and I have no reason to believe he's a long-term winner in any cash game. I'm unconvinced he can support himself strictly playing tournaments, but I could be wrong.

Does the fact that I could comfortably buy into the tournament he's seeking backing for mean anything to you? Because I pretty much suck, but I'm realistic about my abilities.

bdk3clash
01-10-2005, 03:09 PM
Oooh, also, check out this post from his blog (from his entry "Advice to new poker players":

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

But, then, take a look at this post from just a few weeks ago:

I got into a 2-5 NL game and took it down for about $300. Doesn't sound like that much, but it helps... I'm working on a pretty thin bankroll these days.

So either he doesn't even take his own advice, or he has built up a substantial bankroll in the last month but is selling 50% of his action for shits and giggles.

I just don't have a ton of regard for a lot of the players you see over and over on TV in tournaments, because I'm not convinced they're long-term winners in the games they play.

I am the "pissed off" RGPer Boyd refers to in his blog. I am so sick and tired of his BS. I am beyond frustrated with this jackal. However, threads like these feed right into his ego. Boyd is a very sick sociopath. A pathological liar at least and outright dangerous pyschopath at worst. The dude never even attended a day of college yet claims he graduated law school at 18. When the POKERSPOT fiasco was ongoing I hired a PI to get info on this guy so I know what I am talking about. Anyway, I am owed over 4k from Pokerspot and I has a very advantageous banking relationship severed because of chargebacks on my debit card used as the only means to recoup some of my hard earned money.

ThePinkBunny
01-10-2005, 04:42 PM
another possibility that no one here seems to have considered, is that he didn't offer the stake in himself because he needed the money, but rather that he was hoping for publicity.

a father puts his kid's christmas gifts up for sale and for some reason it makes the news.

a family is raising money for medical treatment on ebay and it makes the news.

I'm thinking this was done for publicity reasons rather than because he can't raise the 2k another way.

bdk3clash
01-10-2005, 06:18 PM
There's no need to speculate on why he's doing this. From his blog entry on the auction:

[ QUOTE ]
If you're such a good poker player, why are you too broke to buy-in?

- I'm not. If the auction isn't picked up, I probably will just front the entire buy-in. But one of the secrets to surviving as a professional poker player is to not expose yourself to too much risk, and right now with the start of my new business I would rather not expose myself to the $3600 risk. It's all about money management, people!

So, Boyd himself feels that since he is starting a new business, $1800 of his own money is an acceptable risk to his bankroll, but $3600 is not. If that $1800 makes a difference, he's just not a very good professional player for a bunch of reasons. He's either playing above his bankroll, or doesn't understand how to manage a bankroll, or doesn't care how to manage a bankroll and just wants to play, even though the responsible thing to do would be to move down in stakes and build up a bankroll yourself, or earn it some other way.

Relying on a sucker (and yes, I think this is a sucker bet) from eBay to pay for 1/2 of your entry into a tournament that isn't even that fucking expensive for, by your own words, "money management" purposes is shameful, in my opinion.

Stake Dutch Boyd on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=5948701816)

Report the acution to ebay. You're not allowed clickable links to external sites in your item description.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes you are. You can't have clickable links to a website that tries to solicit sales for the same item outside of ebay.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not correct...

I had links in my ebay auction to a forum that I belonged to. They cancelled all my auctions and sent me this link :

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-links.html

Here's the short version :

eBay allows sellers to place the following types of links in your item's description (see the Links Frequently Asked Questions for the definition of a link):

One link to a page that further describes the item being sold in that listing
One link to your email address that opens an email client for potential buyers to ask questions about the item in that listing
Links to photos of the item for sale
Links to your eBay (including your eBay Store) or Half.com listings
Links to your About Me page (in addition to the About Me icon already provided by eBay)
Links that provide credits to third parties
One link to your listing terms and conditions (providing that the most relevant information is within the listing itself and that this page does not include any links off of eBay)
If you have a logo for any of these links, it may be no greater than 88x33 pixels and it may not flash or otherwise move. (The exception to this guideline is links to your eBay or Half.com listings).

Linking to Web sites that offer to trade, sell, or purchase goods or services, or including links for any purpose other than those listed above is not allowed.

Have you noticed the uncanny resemblance Boyd has to Scott Peterson?

you overlook the fact that he may not be totally honest in his blog as to his reasons, and it sounds like there many reasons for him to play up the 'i'm poor routine'

You are assuming skills not in evidence yet.

And, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The Crew is Poker's version of the Cobra Kai, and Dutch Boyd is their Johnny. He's just having a tough time sweeping the leg right now.

High bidder: User ID kept private

hahahaha.

That is so he can accept multiple bidders, have backers oversubscribe the entry fee by 10x, lose the tourney, and pocket the difference.

This guy is looking for $20,000. Anybody know him?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=45208&amp;item=5949338 141&amp;rd=1

The guy below is llooking for $10,000; he is selling units of $1,000. He even has his picture up in the auction. I never heard of him but what do I know. He links a long list of online tournament finishes as evidence of his ability.

I don't get that 2nd guy. He's selling 100% of himself but only giving back 50%? Man TylerD got a bargain and a half buying 50% of my action.

if that was legit (it's obviously not), it would be a really good deal. he GUARANTEES at least your money back.

Does anyone else find it funny that he lists that he finished first in numerous $3 rebuys into the weekly $350,000 guaranteed event, but did not list one cash in this event on his list of accomplishments?

i'd rather stake dutch... or rather as Mr. Burns put it in a Simpson's episode 'Eternal Happiness for only a dollar... hmmm... I think I'd be happier keeping the dollar.'
