He gets played because he's a fish.

Apparently there was some speculation in the poker world that Dippy was busto back in 2013. Obvs most smart poker players manage their image, trying to get an edge by making people think they have money when they dont or vice versa as it could change strategy at the table.



Previously, he accused Scott of racking with wet hands on his break to get a better spread with same cueball control. Also walked out on another match in 2011 because he disputed a call on a hit, even though (ironically) Chris was called in to judge that hit. Maybe this is all just "What Dippy Do" but to me it would fit with someone who was air-barreling. Chris' backer(s) would obviously know all of this plus a million things the collective AZB doesn't know, and should have factored it in when setting the game/price. Still, can't wait to hear what his excuse is this time and what the retort will be. Also read some speculation somewhere that Tom Dwan was backing Dippy for at least one of the Frost matches, which I thought was pretty LOL.



Anyway, I think someone like The Action Report is really missing the boat with games like this. They should provide all the required services - i.e. escrow funds before the match, provide referee(s) for the match, provide a location with good equipment to play on, security, food, bev, etc. For these services, they get the right to stream or resell the matches, which of course the players would each get a cut of. Players would be in agreement with very clear and concise terms and conditions. Basically make it into a casino like environment for big money matches, where nobody can ever stiff anyone. Ive never watched a TAR Match I guess, so maybe that is exactly how it works, but they should be tripping over themselves to make sure they get every match.

Dippy hasn't been considered a favorite in high stakes games for a LONG time. I think he had the good fortune of being around right at the start of the poker boom and perhaps back then he would have been ahead of the curve. I'd always heard that dippy's real skill was game selection.

I hope Chris and crew get their money. All I know, is that in the rooms I used to play in in my younger days, there were no air-barrelers. Either the guy that tried it wouldn't get out of the room without some kind of satisfaction to the person he owed, or he would make it out and never be heard from again.

A lot of pimps, thieves, and drug addicts played there. But one thing that wasn't tolerated was air-barreling someone. No matter your reputation as a person, your reputation as a gambling player meant something, was almost sacred to most. You took your life in your hands when you tried to stiff someone.

There was a gamblers code then. It started dying in the 70's. I got air barreled in my late teens by an adult. I cleaned his clock on the golf course. He wanted to play pool to get his money back. Wrong.

Word got out and my stake horse called his "friends" for a visit. They returned with his Grand Prix and the title signed over to me.

Things have changed for the worse.

Justin/TAR tried that with Dippy a long time ago. I think Justin would rather die in a grease fire than try it again......

Yup.

Did all that when the studio first opened around 2011.

I made my peace with Dippy and don't hold any ill will towards him but I would never again go through dealing with him for a match. Everything is roses till it isn't and then its a nightmare.

When TAR was doing action matches we handled a lot of post money and never had anything go sideways until I got involved with Dippy. I went through more trouble dealing with him on two matches than in all the others combined.

I still like the guy for some reason. I just know better than to do any business with him. Hopefully this situation gets settled properly.
