Did Micon tell his version of this story?
I tried to listen, (if you can stay awake the sound is great),
but F that is some boring shit,
I think Dutch Boyd was on for an hour. I kept FF, but he was still on.
I just wanted to hear Micon's version of the fantasy football bet w/Erik Lindgren.
He basically said Druff wrote the story on this site (he mentioned this site by name) and there were a few inaccuracies but he didn't say them.
He also said he is owed money from this football season from Lindgrin as well.
FWIW it was the worst show I've ever listened to....I was actually embarrassed for Micon.

Druff didn't you have a blackjack story about Lindgren? I think you said you were playing but not sure if he hopped in
Yup. That's why it's kinda pathetic that some of his fantasy opponents are showing up on 2+2 crying, "OMG!!! Erick Lindgren isn't paying us! We had no idea!!" when in reality most (or all) of them knew the risks, but accepted them because he was so terrible (or neglectful) at fantasy.

Now they're crying foul because the risk fell the wrong way for them.
Yeah, I was playing blackjack at Bellagio.
A drunk Lindgren showed up and sat next to me, and loudly announced, "Oh look at this! Dan Druff is in the game just raised his bet! Well I'm fucking betting on this hand if Dan Druff is raising his bet!"
(For those of you that don't know, card counters raise their bet when the conditions become +EV, which is also a major sign to the casino that you're a counter.)
He then slapped some chips down and bet on the hand.
I don't remember if either of us won the hand, but I finished off the double-deck shoe and got the fuck outta there.
Really annoyed me.
Jean-Robert Bellande did the same thing to me once, but was at least more subtle about it. The LOL thing was that some out-of-state rube at the table looked at Jean-Robert and said, "You know who you remind me of? That Jean-Robert guy from Survivor", and was completely serious.
SOUNDS LIKE A COMPLETE ASSHOLE TO ME. THE GUY DESERVES WHAT IS COMING TO HIM.
Perhaps Haralabob didn't know at that point what kind of person Edog is?
My big question: How the fuck did a bright, grounded guy like Haralabob end up being owed what is likely 7 figures by a guy like Erick?
Druff, do you have any degenerate tendencies? Seems every famous poker player is nothing but a degen
A penchant for craigslist hookers.

Thoughts on Phil Galfond's blog on the matter? He's a good writer, not sure why his blog isn't on CP.

What about him telling Dane cook off, and that he has more $$$
This is from the last 4 paragraphs
"This incident led to a discussion online of who in fact had more money, Dane Cook or Erick Lindgren...
I've also heard from multiple sources that Lindgren is very smart with his money, and has many business interests....
..Just based on his stake in Full Tilt Poker alone, Erick Lindgren easily wins this net worth battle. "
LOL

A rumor started making the rounds a few days ago, that had Erick Lindgren getting into a dispute with Dane Cook.
Erick Lindgren is a well-known poker player and member of "Team Full Tilt".
Dane Cook is a comedian who has appeared in movies such as "Employee of the Month" and "Good Luck Chuck".
Anyways, apparently Erick Lindgren and some of his buddies decided to check out Dane Cook at one of his comedy shows.
After 10-15 minutes, Lindgren and company decided that Cook wasn't very funny, so they decided to leave. They didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so they tried to exit as quietly as they could.
At this point, Cook noticed that they were leaving the venue and screamed "Where the hell are you all going?"
Lindgren responded that they were going to go down the street to try and find a funny comedian to watch.
Cook asked the group to "walk back out that door to the unemployment line". At this point, Lindgren mentioned that he is in fact unemployed, and that he makes more money than Cook does.
Security had intervened at this point, and were aggressively escorting Lindgren and his friends out of the building.
Lindgren later confirmed on Full Tilt Poker that this did in fact take place, and that he had gotten into a verbal confrontation with Dane Cook.
This incident led to a discussion online of who in fact had more money, Dane Cook or Erick Lindgren.
Dane Cook has appeared in a number of movies, has released some platinum-selling comedy albums and tours the country doing comedy shows. He is certainly a millionaire and has plenty of money (well, if you include the money that was apparently stolen from him by his half-brother).
Erick Lindgren was one of the original investors/stakeholders in Full Tilt Poker, backs many successful cash game and tournament players, and has over $7 million dollars in lifetime tournament winnings. I've also heard from multiple sources that Lindgren is very smart with his money, and has many business interests.
Just based on his stake in Full Tilt Poker alone, Erick Lindgren easily wins this net worth battle.
that was a good read.
"There are a few handfuls of people in poker who’ve shared with me their financial status at some time or another, and others who I’ve heard about their financials second hand. Every single one of them had less money than the public thinks"
"Sometimes you lose $500k in a live game, and don’t have any more money in Vegas, so you borrow from someone who does. "
I hate when that happens.

Galfond's blog is good, and I agree with almost all of it.
Makes me wonder why he was so quick to vouch for PeachyMer when the questions came up about her.
He spoke repeatedly in her defense, despite never having met her, and not having proof that she was telling the truth about anything. Instead he came off as a bamboozled fan boy.
Granted, the PeachyMer controversy had nothing to do with money (aside from a very-credible multi-accounting accusation against her -- something that Galfond also claims to hate), but it surprised me how much he spoke in her defense.
I doubt if PeachyMer were a dude from Podunk Mr. Sweets would give a shit.
and now a moment of humor from Erica Schoenberg's twitter
Erica Lindgren @thehitwoman
Just saw a thread on 2+2 about my man's gambling debts. Don't worry everyone - I just sent him to pick up $20 worth of lotto tix.
#chillout
Yeah, she deleted that pretty fast. Not fast enough, though. Its never fast enough...
