TP, id like that. Unlike the highly opinionated crew at RGP, I believe most of us here have a bit more open minds as to where both sides of the story should be heard, and who better to present Dutch's side than Dutch!

do you think that we would actually get legitimate answers to any of the questions we ask? i have read what he posted about pokerspot, but the cynical side of me thinks that the only reason he is trying to clear his own name is that there is serious money to be made in other online poker projects right now.

i dont know him at all, and it doesnt really matter to me how he is portrayed on the wsop, but i would be very wary of ever depositing anythign with him.

Eddo, I think that is the pretty common response. I personally would play at a site he owned simply because of the conversations I have had with him, though I would feel like a real jack-ass if I got ripped off.

As I'm sure the players felt the "first" time.

I don't know if he's to blame or not for the people not getting their money but I wouldn't put it any into his site. Hell, I don't even let my Party/ Pac accounts get too big.

It's 50/50 and for me, that's not the right odds. Don't be fooled by his "favorable" coverage on the WSOP. That's TV. However, I am in now waying condemning him either.

I love his story about his name though. Someone asked him his name at the table and it was noisy. He told him his real name (Don't recall it but it sounded nothing like Dutch) and the guy said "Dutch? That's pretty cool." The name stuck.

If I remember correctly his real name is Russ and I am not basing anything on the WSOP coverage, simply based on conversations we have had. I am sure nobody has a conversation with another individual they don't really know and says "hey you should see the time I screwed a bunch of people out of their cash". Like I said though, given what I have seen I am a big fan of his and hope to see him around the forum here.
