[/ QUOTE ] I think he's got pyramid-scheme on the brain: "For every new player that he brings to the site, he not only receives a kickback, but he also receives a cut from every bet they place on the site. Can you say pyramid scheme?" http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...t.poker/1.html Though he is correct in this case. |

I only read the "All In" and the "Young Guns" articles so far, excellent reads though. This Tom character really needs some help, he's lost over $100,000 and in serious debt yet continues to gamble and lose! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
