JoeyFinngars 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 Do you think his game will be taken to another level (maybe not possible) now that he is not tied to anything or anyone?Or do you think this may hurt him in the short run?I could see him going ape shit at the craps tables and either winning or dusting off a huge chunk.This divorce may give more insight into his actual wealth since things will be split up amongst him and Luciaetta.

MaxStPolish 4 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 All the best to this guy.This is from a 29yo point of view......but my wife is the yin to my yang.Nothing is perfect and every now and again marriage may feel burdensome.....but 99% of the time when I feel burdened, I shortly thereafter realize that she definitely keeps me at an even keel in life.I have no clue how Ivey's relationship was, nor should I know. It's actually sad that I'm aware of it all (fk the paparazzi). That said, I know I think I would be crazy party/etc. short term without the wife's balancing effect in my life. I'm sure at some point I would balance off, but even then I think I would indulge myself far more than would even be good for me.That said, all the best to him. It's gotta be tough for couples that get married before one of the two blows up to stardom. It must be an impossible line to toe when "you're both the same people", but that's totally a perfect world thought.....because so much has changed. Link to post Share on other sites
