Not on planet Earth. Perhaps Venus has customs similar to this.

"Dutch Boyd, when I first really met him in 2003, came across as a smart,
young, driven kid, who had fell in love with the game of poker. After we
moved in together, we began working on a project called RakeFree. It was
going to be a cardroom online that charged a monthly fee as opposed to
raking each and every virtual pot. Dutch and I planned on going on tour
and promoting RakeFree. RakeFree was the reason I was willing to be the
best player on a crew with 2 poker rookies (rob boyd and David Smythe) a
poker dealer ( Joe Bartholdi) and Dutch. We started to work on ideas and
concepts for RakeFree, with me sharing intellectual opinion and property.
When it was time to move forward with the project, Dutch began flying
around, meeting with business people to develop the idea. He would come
back and say that he ran into dead ends, but as it turned out, he was
developing the same idea, just under a different name, www.ZeroRake.com
. I have found out, that Dutch owns/owned 20-30% of ZeroRake. When I
found that out, I had never felt so sick in my life. I had been deceived
for so long. I have since not talked to Dutch, but I wanted people to
know that I do not support the kid in anything he does and do not want
other people to get hurt or mistreated like I did.

Is the LA homeless shelter he's going to donate the money to the same one that Dutch Boyd will be living at in a few months?

Perhaps you are thinking of the George C. Scott character from The Hustler.

Thankfully, the United Professional Poker Players World Alliance would never permit such an arrangement from taking place in this, the Enlightened Age of Poker.

Fyi - Dutch Boyds retort below...


Gank and ZeroRake


A former crewmember, Brett Jungblut (aka gank), posted recently on rec.gambling.poker that I was involved with a site called ZeroRake.com. A lot of people have been asking about it, so I thought I'd address it.

The statement is simply untrue. ZeroRake.com was run by an outfit in Vancouver called Las Vegas From Home. They are the same people behind Action Poker. I'm somewhat familiar with them because I met the president, Jake, a few years ago at a gaming industry conference in Toronto. They tried to launch a cardroom without a rake a few months ago, and it failed miserably. I downloaded the software once or twice, but never played there because there were never any games going. Beyond that I didn't have any further involvement in the site.

I don't know where Brett got his information from, but the way he talks it makes me think he's wearing an aluminum-foil hat right now. You're out of the crew, bro... it's natural to be chewing on some sour grapes. But get over it, man, and focus on your own bad self instead of spending time on my [censored].
