I just looked up the Edgar documents on the Go2Net/Infospace merger. According to the documents, PP had 425,000 options that were vestable at the time of the buyout and that alone at the buyout price of $86.91 would have put him at $37 million. That doesn't even take into account any shares he may have owned previously, and if he didn't sell at that time, Infospace shares went down like the rest of the internet companies. If he still had all his shares today, he would only be worth a quarter of that (INSP 21.63).

If I was a CTO for a company like that back then, I would have had some serious stock options, so my guess is Paul did real well.Yeah, Phillips is likely ahead, the Netsys sale was less than $100MM, the Go2Net sale was around $4BB.Although I don't think Paul was employee #1, more like CTO (I've read about a Russ Horowitz who was founder and CEO). -
Dealing with the Venture Capital market as I do, I'll guarantee if Doyle (who is Mr Poker) came to the VC I know with a proposal to buy WPT. They would definately take the meeting and listen. It's got the potential to be alot more of a money maker than it already is and $400 million would look like the $32 dollar deal the indians sold Manhattan for...If you count money outside of Poker than Paul Phillips ranks ahead of all of them he is worth hundreds of millions from when he sold his business. Also im assuming Doyle tops the list since he did offer to buy the WPT for 700 million in cash. Obviously he doesnt hae 700 mil but people wouldnt give him the difference if he was only putting but say 25 mil so he definitely has way more money than that how much though i wouldnt know. -
Phil Gordon tops the list if you count all monies inside and out of poker. Phil was employee #1 at Netsys Technologies when Cisco bought them out for $95 million. He never needs to work another day in his life if he doesn't want to.I also believe that Paul Phillips was also in the dot com craze early and sold a company reaping untold fortunes...

And chances of that happening at a Red Sox playoff game is slim to none (leaning more to the none)...its not illegal anymore if you sell the tickets for face value or less, they changed that rule, but in this case you won't find anyone willing to sell their tickets for that cheap -
I also have to put a vote in for Capital Grill. Great place, fantastic wine list, and steaks are fantastic.I'd pass on the Hilltop unless you are looking for more of a family place with mediocre steaks. The hint that it's no Mortons is the "Plastic cows"...BTW, seeing that you are from Chicago, I hope you already have your tickets for the game. Scalping is illegal in Boston and they are coming down hard on them during playoffs and WS games. Also the prices are steep cause Fenway is smaller than Wrigley...capital grill is pretty great steak house, Mortons caliber. I am down for a game sometime I live in Somerville. PM details -
Amen brother. My brother is with the Red Cross in NH and he's on his way down tomorrow. I also have 2 friends with the telephone company that have volunteered to go down. They have been told to plan for long term rotation...

I'd hate to say it, but I don't think you'd win the case against this guy on those grounds. He states that his job was writing code for a blackjack program. He is selling a poker bot. His lawyers would just bring up what the differences in the 2 games are and the only thing in common is a deck of cards and that suit would get thrown out of court...jmhoMike BBtw, this guy should get the pants sued off of him. He went from working for a gambling software company, to releasing his own gambling related software privately just 2 years later. Proprietary technology infringements anyone? The article even admits that he used in-house tools to help come up with the idea for his program (not illegal, but if he used the same algorithms, it is). -

oops, wrong thread and bad day so far. Think I'll stay away from the tables today. My sense of direction is a bit off...Sorry
random post of the day award?I also can get a streak of "Gus Hansen" going that will ruin a perfectly good nite and I am working hard at reworking my game to play agressive, but smarter. I will be way up in a tourney or live tablestakes and when I should be reining it in a hair, I'll go all out Gus Hansen.I've washed out of 2 big tourneys that I had control cause I took too many longshot gambles. I believe I've turned the tide and got it back in control and that's exactly what it is, it's mind control... -

It's the personality that drew me to paying attention to him and his style. He takes the game serious, but has his light side to him. I understand it's a job, but you need to also enjoy your job to keep sane and DN seems to do just that...

You guys are kidding right? A waiting line to get into a Ferrari dealership and a $10 cover? I know it's Vegas, but that's just wrong. I love exotic cars and I've seen more Ferraris and other exotics that I wouldn't even consider even the standing in line side of the equation let alone the cover charge.Mike B59 Austin Healey (my baby)62 Aston Martin DB4 Vantage GT (presently being restored)

No problem, but first I need your name, address, true birthdate, your social security number, and a current photo. Just post them here as a reply and I'll get someone right out to meet with you about your request...does anyone have any knowledge of where to obtain a good, passable fake ID either in person or on the net?Thanks,Mark -
It's real. I was watching the game live and heard the noise on Sports talk radio and the papers right after it. I guess from what they were saying (Including comments from Peter Gammons) that there are a number of players in the OF that wear them. They say it doesn't interfere with their play. That brings up a question. How many of you guys have tried to listen to music with headphones while playing cards in a card room. Can you concetrate well enough with them on? Can you hear the banter and raises around the table? I like to here the guy raising to read his voice as much as the other tells...If that is real, it is the worst broadcast display I have ever seen. And he doesn't count. Having him pay attention to anything would be an upgrade. He can rake though. (rake is also a baseball term for being a great hitter. for all of my Canadian brethren) -
Not kidding. Boston press mentioned them many times thru the Manny fuedNo he didn't. No MLB player is wearing them during a game. Ichiro broke them out this year during spring training. Not during a game. Too much on the line. I'm almost sure you were making a joke. Almost. -

Hey TheKid- Look man, this has gone on long enough. Your avatar is TOO BIG. It stretches the screen so I have to scroll to the right to read the last few words of every line of everyone's posts. PLEASE fix it or change it

More than occasionally. If you see a Sox game you notice he's wearing them all the time. There was a major stink in Boston about Manny a month ago and these were part of it, and there was also the instance that he needed to take a leak in the middle of the inning and went inside the "Green Monster" wall in left field to relieve himself during a pitcher meeting on the mound. I also saw after the Mets' Cameron and Beltran collision that Beltran had a pair on. No wonder they ran into each other. They couldn't hear the other call him off...Manny Ramirez wears these in the outfield occasionally. -
