I should set the record straight.
Annie, Greg and Chris were very vocal in their opposition and commented publicly for my podcast without any hesitation. Doyle Brunson refused to comment and then I explained to him how in Australia our bill had passed in a very underhanded way back in 2001. I asked him to comment again and he said no…I then said that he would be affected being that he owns his own room and he then said this is why he wouldn’t comment.
But Doyle if YOU won’t stand up for poker players who’s left?
I lost much respect for him that day. Joe Hachem offered to comment at a later tme and we just didn’t catch up again, others were either scared or apathetic.
