Message: [QUOTE="Crystal Blue, post: 996572, member: 46561"] So far ( as far as I can find out ) only Daniel Negreanu of the poker pros has spoken out publicly in a forum about the Clonie Gowen v Full Tilt suit. That was until this weekend when Barry Greenstein decided to have his little say. In direct response to Negreanu's comments, his Team Pokerstars stablemate Barry Greenstein made the following comments on his Pokerroad forum: [I]I don't agree with Daniel about it ruining her for poker, but maybe he just means that it is very tough for the average tournament player to make enough to pay the bills without any sponsorship. I don't get the feeling that Clonie supplements her income with side game winnings, although she does make something from poker boot camps. For all the criticism about her play, she has won two decent tournaments this year and three (out of three) Poker After Darks. That makes her sixth on the all time money list for women in poker. I wouldn't count invitational events, but even without them she would be in the top ten. I vaguely recall her telling me a few years back that she thought she was going to get some stock, but I would have thought she would have gotten that cleared up within a year of representing the company. It certainly seems strange to bring it up after all these years[/I] Greenstein then commented later on after speaking with Gowen directly: [I]I just got off the phone with Clonie 1. She always thought she had a piece but was told because of the grey area with poker that there were reasons that things weren't in writing. 2. She has been pursuing her piece in writing ever since the distributions went out a year and a half ago. 3. She had been negotiating in private but she was unable to get anything done so she had to get a lawyer. (Full Tilt offered a settlement that she rejected.) 4. She also questioned why poker players were named in the suit, but her attorney told her that it had to be done that way since they were owners and also so that their paperwork could be subpoenaed. 5. Daniel doesn't like her. (no kidding!)[/I] [/QUOTE]
