Finally - a rational and coherent account of what really happened. And not one iota of conjecture or hearsay.Maybe *someone* should be taking notes...............
brilliant, brilliant post. A first hand, well written reply without sarcasm.I think the last paragraph sums up the situation very well.

Back in January Marc posted his side of the story on Blonde. Neither Ram nor Marc's story makes good reading for Ivey.
Hi all, i have been asked to reply to Kanos thread re golf game in Australia. On the basis that his post begins self-indulgent. semi-successful, boastful etc don't ask me how but i had an idea how his post may go, in poker terms he gave his hand away. If he had read i was the cause of climate control and poverty in the Third World i guess he would of just jumped in and slagged me off. Sorry i digress, but i feel better!! It is difficult to know where to start as he is so factually incorrect: I last saw Eric Sagstrom in Vegas in April 2006 so he never walked off after 9 holes and he may deserve an apology on the basis that "he had no intention of paying" for a game he never attended. (IMO) Kano and others may disagree. At the start of the game we said to Phil that as we haven't played for 3 months and he must have improved we need to adjust the handicaps. We could not agree and we were doomed to no game until Ram said "does Eric Lingdren still give you 10 shots" to which Phil replied yes!!On that piece of information we had a game. As we always ***** about handicaps throughout the match Phil suggested that we agree to play 18 holes with no adjustment and then adjust for the next series of games. We agreed . I had 7 pars and a birdie back nine( even though i stormed off after 7 holes in a rage) and we lost 8 holes as they were 9 under for the last 7 holes. as anyone who plays golf would know when playing better ball doubles it is very hard to win by 3 or more holes , they finished 14 up lol. We have had the better of Phil in golf games over the last year but our biggest victory was 3 up. We had been spanked but arranged a new revised game later that week. We went out together that night (even though we have severed ties and have all this supposed ill feeling). Later on we met Eric who informed us that he gives Phil NO SHOTS. We therefore felt aggrieved and Ram asked Phil for an apology. As to wether we pay or not will be discussed in Vegas in April when we next meet. Let me put this question to you all. If i had turned up with a pro golfer and Phil said do you get shots off Eric, we said yes 10 . We played and won then he found out should he pay even a penny? If you think that he has been hustled not cheated and its just unlucky then you must be of the opinion that we should pay. In saying that If when we meet and we cant agree we will probably pay and sever ties. To gain an edge yes to win at all costs no thankyou. I will let you all know the outcome this April.

im on Rams side in this one, great to see him finally come out and defend himself
Agreed, it's unfortunate that he has sort of been forced into this but nice to hear from the horses mouth (No pun intended) as much as it doesn't concern any of us.

I never expected to see such a prejudiced remark on a public forum. You should be ashamed of yourself.Just because a person is a member of a particular group does not mean that person's opinions are wrong or invalid.I believe Hitler made that assumption many years ago.

Dignified and pertinent response? Ram didn't say anything we didn't already know from that side.But from his post I now know Barry Greenstein is on Phil's side also.Along with:Daniel NegreanuTodd BrunsonDoyle BrunsonAnd a lot of other pros.Ram will man up and pay sooner or later.

My point is that you state Ram is a welcher, from a position of ignorance.So it has no credibility, it merely makes you look an opinionated fool.Danielle may well have an opinion, but he was foolish to post.

No - I am offended by someone who thinks that my opinions count for nothing because I belong to a particular group. You are pre-judging me and others based on a class.That just shows how ignorant you really are.

Oh please. don't gimme that twisted drivel. Where in my post did I say your opinion didn't count? I was stating the obvious:"Here comes the euro's from the hendonmob forum to back up the Welcher"If you want to twist it in your own mind, that's not my fault.

There is definitely some conflicting views from both sides. An arbitrator sounds like a good idea but does anyone know any "professional golf gambling arbitrators". I looked it up in the phone book and couldn't find anyone listed.

And what would happen if I were to post on here something like:"here come all the yanks to back up the conman and the egomaniac"I'd get flamed right? I'd be insinuating that "the yanks" opinions don't count. I'd have been disparaging, which would lead to me casting an immediate doubt over the integrity of your comments because you fall into the group of "the yanks".Anyone who reads anything posted by "the yanks" after that post is less likely to believe it, because someone has already attacked it.If you don't understand what I'm talking about then I'm not going to waste any more time talking about it. End of.Note - the correct phrase by the way is "dry your eyes princess".

A sucker is born every minute. Pay the man his money.I used to play pool and hustle a lot. If you see a mark, you take it down. If you don’t, another shark will. Happens every day in pool halls, Wall Street, casinos etc…This was set up nicely and Ivey was going through the motions. Ram had no chance, he continued because of stupidity, mad tilt and stubbornness. Ivey just showed that he’s a classless poker celebrity and really doesn’t care how he’s being portrayed. Hey, who gives a s.h.it “all about getting paid biatch!” Ivey “the hustler” pwned Ram but may have burned a lot of bridges. It may cost him even more money down the road. If there was ever going to be another poker boom, his image has been tarnished. Some sponsors may pass on him, not like cares anyways.Great hustlers get paid by suckers, without even letting them know they just got hustled. Ivey is not great yet.

167's post is illuminating, and shows the different values at work here.Some think it's OK to lie and cheat to make monetary gain. Ram obviously does not.Who has shown 'class' in this??.

Are Canadians considered yanks?

In terms of etymology, I believe that 'yank' is a contraction or modification of a mis-pronunciation of 'english' by native americans.So I guess it depends if you're mainly english-descended canadian or not.I wouldn't normally use the term, it was done to illustrate a point.
