just a few thoughts.
1. if you dump to collect on a bet made by someone else, its kind of scummy, but, we all gotta live, and eat.
2. dumping a match during a tourney to make some moves IN the tourney like avoiding a hot player, or helping a friend is perfectly legal, and I see nothing wrong with it. Theres a reason some tourneys are called double elimination, or round robin.
3. with all the big $$ rolling into the IPT there almost has to be some growing pains. SOME, not all the players have been struggling on the road, and now are making some good money and see a chance to parlay that bet into a bigger chunk by maybe less than perfect PC choices.
I'm not gonna judge anyone...I'm not perfect, I have cheated, stolen, lied, dumped matches, and I'm a real nice guy!
.....but its all fun to read about!
