Subject: Doyle on GCA
|
Before I start on the GCA, let me say that I don't
dislike them because they are cheaters, I don't dislike them because
they do
drugs [no, I've never seen them do them] I don't dislike them for
trying to
start a "cheating protection" business. I do dislike them for trying to
extort
me and Eric, telling lies when they couldn't think of anything else,
but most
of all because they are confessed snitches, stool pigeons, informers or
whatever word you want to use. To me, that is the bottom rung on the
ladder.
They DO have knowlege about the "old days" and some of the things they
say,
I've heard for years about different scams.They just don't know as much
as they
think. They haven't come up with anything I didnt already know about
cheating
and haven't mentioned some things that I do know. And it is painfully
apparent
they know nothing about todays poker. I think poker is the cleanest it
has been
in many years. The very people they have attacked were instrumental in
cleaning
it up. Now, down to the specifics. Let me say,
EVERYBODY I
respect in the poker world has advised me to leave this alone and
ignore it.
According to them, the publicity and attention is what they want so I'm
playing
right into their hands. But they aren't the ones that have been
accused. My
freind of 30 years, Cowboy Wolford, got into a fight in Oceanside
because some
players printed out some of RGP and took it to the card room. Mike
Caros
wonderful wife Phylis said, when I asked her what she thought about all
this
cheating business, "I don't know what to think". geez.... If she don't
know
what to think, how about everyone else.
Now to what the GCA has accused me of. It shows how little
they know
outside of their own experiences. In their 1st accusation, Bill N tells
the
story about me and Puggy. When I pointed out every player has to act on
their
hand before the dealer burns and deals, they said that was why the rule
was
later changed. BULL...this is a small point I know but it shows their
mentality. I have NEVER played in a no limit lowball game that a dealer
could
burn and then asked the players to act. Ask Billy Baxter, Aubrey Day,
Puggy
Pearson. They will confirm what I said. Next, they said I had used
marked cards
at the Dunes [I shudder to think what Tony Spilotro would have done to
me] The
Horseshoe, Ca. card clubs, Mirage, and the Bellagio. I have NEVER used
marked
cards in my life and I mean NEVER. Then they say I am cheating at the
Bellagio..using marked cards, electronic devices, etc. Not only have I
not done
that, I have never heard a player at the Bellagio say they even THOUGHT
they
might have been cheated. Nor do I have any knowledge of any person or
persons
cheating at the Bellagio.
Here is what I propose...GCA has said they will
pay for
anyone willing to take a polygraph. They say Mike Caro is the one and
only one
to arrange it. Thats fine. As mad as I am at him and Nolan for letting
this
thing get off the ground, I'll admit I think he is honest[but the
dumbest
genius I've ever known]. However, lets not take chances...lets take 2
more
respected people in the gambling community..Linda Johnson, Barry
Shulman, Mike
Sexton come to mind, let them each,independent of the others, find the
top
polygraph people in the USA, bring them in without telling anyone else
when or
where. Mike can be the captain and coordinate everything. I really like
Teds
CANING concept, but we don't want to kill a top player like Russ. Let
the GCA
put up 20,000 dollars [the expense of flying these people in and
paying their
fee will be expensive], I'll put up 100'000. Do that and maybe these
clowns
will go away. This isn't limited to the GCA. All those who said the
rumors
could well be true, put your money up and get 5-1. Post with Mike GCA,
my money
will be right behind yours.
I feel like I've
written
another book but let me say one more thing. I'm not going to continue
this
witch hunt about anything else. So, if anyone says, "that might not
have been
true, but what about that..or this". Forget it. I just want to be left
alone
and play poker. I know there can't be many more years that I can play
at the
top. I've never claimed to be a saint, certainly I'm nobodys hero, and
don't
consider myself to be an icon or pillar of the gambling world. I want
my legacy
to be that I played at the highest level for longer than anyone else.
Doyle Brunson
I'll use Doyles idea about three different people. The only change will
be the
caning will be permitted. I'll have two or more of the people you named
to be
there. Get your money to Mike to pay expenses and the winner keeps
whatever
money is left. Put up or shut up!

Doyle doesn't dislike cheats? Who didn't know that? I wonder how he
cleaned
these so called games up? I wonder how he wasn't cheated? I wonder how
he
played in Tony Spilatro's day and wasn't part of the crew?
He accuses me of extortion in an earlier post. It stated I wanted
$100,000 (split 3 ways). I
wipe my ass with $100 bills if I needed $33,000. Meanwhile it's stated
I'm a
has been taxi driver and sleep in a car, yet they tell me to post
$20,000? Make sense? Doyle calls
me a snitch, rat and stollie, yet who am I ratting out, if everything
is on the
up and up?
More BS from Doyle and company.
