Good point, but then how is it sustainable from Mr. Robles end? His work and time is certainly worth more than $125.00. What am I missing?

doomCue - Just curious...when did Play2Win close? thanks.

AZ - Just a real basic question: Given what you know surrounding these events and the partial payments, what would be the most prudent action for the players to take? From what I've read, my sense is that they should cash the checks -knowing that they're still is at least some legal basis...

I found the following statement, posted by a loyal AZer back in July during T2: "Kevin Trudeau truley deserves a great big thankyou...Either way I hope Mr. Trudeau is inducted into the Hall of Fame one day for what he is doing for pool and for unequalled generosity towards the players." Lots...

I've been following IPT wearily since July: http://www.grabers.com/library/kbase/archives/2006/07/kt_and_the_grea.php You're insights about the sports book are right on target - exactly. I do think that model would have worked. A little slippery for sure, but KT's no angel. And he's...

They've been after KT for years. He's the biggest huckster in the US. Bottom line is what PT Barnum said about a century ago. And for anybody to think the tour came even close to succeeding, I'd suggest they'd re-evaluate. Macguy couldn't be anymore right. They gave away dreams, promises and...

What I find the most interesting in Trudeau's correspondence is one sentence, namely: "The U.S. Government's new law outlawing online casino gaming presented an unavoidable temporary bump in the road for the IPT." In trying to come up with a workable business model for the tour to sustain...

Too Bad for the Players I had originally posted a number of doubting Thomas remarks about the Tour and especially KT. My weblog post on the subject, way back in July, has really gotten popular with visitors lately. (http://www.grabers.com/library/kbase/archives/2006/07/kt_and_the_grea.php)...

I think the overall reaction to Mr. Trudeau's contributions to the sport should be somewhat tempered, at least at this point. I pause only in light of Mr. Trudeau's background. There's an old saying: if something's too good to be true, it usually is.

I got a funny story about him. Good guy. This could be his breakout tournament...

Look's like Sammy got into one of his zones in Round 2 vs Alex. Very impressive. loyarc

I think you'll hear more interesting stories coming out of the IPT. To date, their model offers little guidance in terms of long-term sustainability, so why should they court vendors.

In terms of prize money, its great for the sport on the surface. However, without a sustainable tour revenue model, as soon as Trudeau gets bored, those large payouts are history.
