DKE_XP120 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I check dutch's blog on a regular basis to feel better about myself... This proves most of it right. especially since 'gank' left when he found out Dutch had a shared interest in another rake free company when they were suppsoed to be working one out.

There is an article on the "Crew" in the June Rolling Stone. There is some pretty funny stuff in there. Here is the link.........http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/_/i...sion=6.0.12.872Enjoy!My two favorite lines:1. Back from the Philly bars an hour away, David "Dorf" Smyth, 27, is loading four games of $5-$10 Hold 'em on his father's home computer. Haha...Still living at home at the age of 27 and using daddy's computer? Why not use some of that poker money and get an f'n apartment, or at least try to mooch off Scott like the others are doing.2. "If Gank's hair was on fire," says Dorf, "I'd piss on his leg."Heh, funny line, but from all I've seen, Brett is (was) the only decent guy amongst them. Maybe Dutch will screw Dorf over one of these days, and he'll see why Brett was smart for leaving the 'Crew'.Patrick Link to post Share on other sites
FloppyNuts 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Wow, lotsa quotable lunacy. Here's an uninterrupted 4-paragraph segment. Dutch, who had just turned twenty, panicked. For a period of time (he says it was a month, others insist it was longer), he continued to solicit new accounts, hoping to pay creditors off with borrowed money. At best, Dutch was staving off disaster. At worst, he'd turned pokerspot.com into a Ponzi scheme. Then he went nuts. "The first episode came January 1st of 2002," he says. "Sitting in my room, New Year's Eve, watching Dick Clark and the ball drop. A car commercial came on, with some Louis Armstrong music. It was God telling me to go to New Orleans."In the next two and a half years, Dutch's life became a nightmare of mental institutions, card rooms and casinos. At various times, he was living in fifteen-dollar-a-night Vegas flophouses or on Caribbean yachts. And along the way, he was venting his psychosis at rec.gambling.poker. His contributions to the site's threads, some hyperlogical, others rants, tell a weird picaresque of angel capitalists and shady characters, of lost weekends in Montreal, Boston, New Orleans and Antigua as Dutch tried to save his company and himself. His grandest dream was to launch a new kind of online casino, rakefree.com. Most online casinos take a small percentage of each pot -- the rake. On Dutch's new site, there would be no rake. He would charge only a flat fee of $30 a month. First, of course, he had to raise seed money.But Dutch's psychotic episodes, mostly of the "let's take off our clothes and go naked" variety, had begun to get nastier, and backers were in short supply. Enemies weren't. "Dutch insulted some extremely fine and kind people," says Burton Ritchie, a Pensacola, Florida, cardplayer who says he spent months trying to arrange a deal between Dutch and a consortium of venture capitalists, Kansas City mobsters and NFL players. "Dutch signed a letter of intent and then went schizo. I'm sorry to hear he's bipolar, but he's also an @sshole."Dutch speaks of his psychosis with a strange, detached irony. He likens the episodes and their accompanying visions to airport murals. "The kind," he says, "where it's just colored dots as you walk by, until you hit the right place and they all come together to form the big image." He hit bottom in March 2003 in Antigua, where he and Bobby had gone for some online-casino consultancy work; despite their notoriety, the brothers' vision and technical knowledge were still sought by other gaming sites. Dutch went manic aboard a boat they were staying on, and Bobby had no choice but to commit him to an island medical hospital. His home for the next week was a six-by-nine-foot cell "with a metal door, a bed, a toilet and you sitting there with your direct line to God," he says. "My advice: Don't go crazy in a Third World country." Link to post Share on other sites

psujohn 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Upstairs, the beds are unmade and have been since the maid was here last week. The walls are bare but for a print of a pair of aces descending over an azure sea at twilight. The fridge completes the frat-house feel: nothing but twelve-packs, a jar of pickles, a bag of withered minicarrots. Pizza boxes, chips, beer and soda bottles line the kitchen counters and living-room table,And this is the pipe dream of their generation. I fear for our future. Link to post Share on other sites

zimmer4141 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I think it's hilarious how they said Antonio was the first player under 25 to make $1 million playing poker.
