Poker Player Profiles

Dutch Boyd

    Even though Dutch Boyd is not as well-known as some of the other players, he is one of the most controversial. He received a law Degree at the age of 18 and later ended up starting an online poker site - Pokerspot - which failed and caused customers to lose their deposits and is currently working on a new site - www.Rakefree.com - which is viewed skeptically by most.
    He grew up mostly in Missouri with his mom and younger brother. Dutch and his brother were both very intelligent and had always scored well on IQ tests. When he was 11, he skipped a couple of grades and soon after started taking college classes and then graduated with his Associates degree at 13 and his Bachelor's degree soon there after. He then decided to go to law school but later decided he didn't want to be a lawyer because most of the lawyers he worked for didn't seem to be happy with their jobs.
     Like many of todays players, he started to play poker after watching Rounders because the character in the movie was in the same position he was in - a law student who wasn't sure he wanted to be a lawyer. After watching the movie he started playing online at a play money site where he did well. He then graduated to real money games and spend some of his winnings on poker books to educate himself and improve his game. The online sites that he played at were very slow at the time so he decided that he wanted to start his own online poker room with the help of his brother who had a background in technology. Although he though the venture was a sure thing, his inexperience and over-optimism became problems.
     There were many things that went wrong. First, the market had changed a lot. Paradise Poker, one of the most respected online sites today, was up and running with a good software platform and PokerSpot didn't have any money for marketing or back-office operations. Things turned around temporarily before completely falling apart. The company that was processing all of their credit card deposits had supposedly ripped them off and because of this, they had no way of paying cashouts. It was big disaster.
     They filed a lawsuit and tried to get their money from the company that supposedly ripped Pokerspot off but they didn't have any money. They tried to sell the business since they had some assets, a userlist of about 8500 players, good software, and a pending patent for the online poker tournaments they developed and they got an offer from an online casino who eventually backed out of the deal.
     Another major event in his life came unexpectedly this year when he finished 12th in the 2003 WSOP. He went to Vegas for a meeting about his new site but the meeting didn't end up happening but he decided to stay in Vegas even though he didn’t have a lot of money but ended up winning a seat to the WSOP through a satellite. By the third day he was doing very well and was third in chips. Soon after that everyone knew who he was, and that opened up doors for him when it came to starting his new card room.
     Although Dutch says the failure was legitimate, many people believe that Dutch Boyd stole the money. Dutch says, however, would like to eventually pay back the lost money to the PokerSpot players to rectify the situation as well as fix his reputation but he understands that people are skeptical.
     The new site he’s working on is called RakeFree. It will be an online cardroom that doesn’t take a lot in rakes. He believes that poker sites do not need to be charging all the money that they do now to players because their costs are much lower than brick & mortar rooms because of automation. He is hoping the Pokerspot fiasco won't hurt the chances of success for his new venture and hopes that his partial success and the lessons he learned from his failures will win investors over and silence his many critics.

I'm not a big Hachem fan, but even Boyd said "How many times do I have to put this guy all in"? Hachem had him crippled and Dutch hit a 3 outer on the river to win.
Hachem totally outplayed this scumbag and Dutch was lucky enough to win.
Going all in with A5 preflop against Hachem was stupid to begin with.

I guess if you shoot at the basket enough times, eventually one will go in.

From an interview reprinted at rakefree.com: LAP: And last, but not least... Do you consider yourself to be a genius? Dutch Boyd : I sometimes get real moments of clarity that even surprise myself. It was happening all this year at the WSOP. I guess players call it the “zone”. But it’s something that happens outside of the poker table as well, where my thoughts are clear, where I seem to fully understand everything that’s going on around me, and I can come up with great ideas and ways to implement those ideas. I suppose that’s all that genius really is… and that everybody shows many, many moments of genius in their lives.

This is clearly speculation b/c how can I possibly want to know a wannabe hot-shot like Boyd. He seems fake, cocky and hardly sincere when he does get a tv spot. Also, being in the marketing industry, I completely understand the importance of promotion, but don't you think that claiming your supposed innocence to poker fans and advertising "rakefree" is a little naive?? Enjoy your fifteen minutes!

Dutch Fraud
July 16, 2005
Well kiddo the "system" has very sharp teeth, unlimited resources, and never sleeps; not to mention the many people holding a shovel full of dirt waiting for him to fall. He can pull whatever he wants from his bag of tricks but most know to run the other way of anything with Boyd's name attached to it. His fall from (dis)grace is ongoing and charts the predestined course that he has taken. He is a tragedy without any of the superlatives and romanticizable merit he so desperately craves, nothing more. These "heroes" always seem to find out after it's too late that there is incomprehensible responsibility that goes along with being a deity. Resistance never seems an option in their delusions.

You bitches are just jealous that Dutch placed 12th and 177th and he could beat all your asses in poker. For all you people bitching about the money that he supposedly "stole." I hope he stole it and used it for his by-in in 2003. Get over it. If you cant beat the system cheat the system.

I am pretty sure at this point that the real Dutch is not posting to this site. However, I did almost pee my pants at some of the imposter's comments.I don't know much about the situation surrounding this whole controversy. But since this is America, and seein' as how most of the comments here aren't pertinent anyway... I did see Dutch last year on the WSOP and thought those poker blokes are getting a wee bit attractive. And then I felt icky because I realized he looks a good deal like my brother. I'm not sayin'...I'm just sayin.

Dude, Dutch is an amazing person. He is just looking for his calling in life. I would like to see him do commentary on TV, his insights could be usefull there, and he wouldn't lose any money! Keep smoking those cigs dutch, and I liked the other pic, the one where you had the HUGE marlboro red sticking out your pie hole.

Dutch seems to have some talent that has yet to bear much fruit. His little gang of cohorts seem a little like geeks gone wild, but I'm sure Dutch would be the first to appologize for the company he keeps. Dutch do us all a favor and start winning something. Get into some WPT events and make a showing, in other words, prove yourself a little more.

Dutch is a total POS. In addition to being a con man he recently had ad's on eBay asking for investors in his next tourney. Investments auctions are not allowed on eBay so he then changed it to where he would wear some advertising or a logo if you wanted. This guy is a total POS, loser.

Most of you guys are schmucks. You act like Boyd (if it's true) is the only one scamming people on-line. All servers scam people; Party Poker, Poker Stars, City Poker, Paradise, they ALL scam you. Just because they're so big they scam people in a much smarter way that would only be caught by the absolute geniuses. And some of those geniuses have done studies. Conclusion; on Party Poker, you'll win $500 one night, you feel great the next day and think, HEY, I CAN TURN THIS INTO $1,000, instead you wind up losing it the next night. Why? So they can rake the crap out of you and keep the money flowing instead of having it get cashed out. Wake up people. Almost all of on-line poker is a scam.

OK he can be a tool, & yes he did rip alot of people off, however, though the site failed, I believe he had good intentions, and the sites' demise was not so intentional. I think it was poor money managment. He probably blew all his loot on the tournament circuit! lol on the tournament circuit, being young, it gets way more expensive than the buy-ins. You have to cash in the side games because on top of the torney entry fees, we always blow more at the bar than expected, next thing your trying to hit&run $250 in the 15/30 game so you can get the grand together for the tourney. lol.

Boyd is a perfect example of style over substance. A good looking guy does well on TV once and the marketing people turn him into something he is not. It's a shame he bought into his own press. He's certainly good, but far from great. Pretty much he's just another kid trying to short-cut his way to success. His WSOP showing in 2003 supported this belief as the way to go for him. I feel for him with the online poker fiasco. You can never keep the critics away when failures like that occur. But, Boyd needs to focus more on his game if he really wants to make a name for himself in the long run. Style only takes you so far in this game.

Nice to hear another bit of positive from someone, Greg. He is a very nice guy, and everything everyone says against him is either plain false or misinformed. The people who do know the whole story aren't saying they think he stole money, just that the company got in over it's head.

Greg Russell
August 29, 2004
Dutch is a really nice person. I had the chance to play against him in the WSOP 2003. The first encounter I had was during a break on day 1. We had been playing at the same table for about 2 hours. During the break he took the time to find me in the lobby to let me know I was flashing my cards a little when I was checking out my cards at the table. Now my question to everyone, would a cheat tell me I was flashing my cards?? Since that moment Dutch sat with me during breaks and we talked poker. He helped me advance a little further than a probably would of if I had not met him. As far as the conversation everyone is having about "money",I do not know the whole story, other than what Dutch has written on his website, the few times we have talked on the phone since Vegas he has always been friendly and helpful. All I can say is "Dutch, Good Luck with everything you do" Cheers, Greg

ya kno...all i wanna kno is how many of u lil hometown basement players have been on a nationally televised poker tournament or think ur good enough to be in one....u would prolly piss down ur leg if u had $200,000 in chips in front of u, saying u could beat dutch or that he is just an avg. poker player is like saying a guy in the NBA is an Avg. basketball player, get over urselves and give credit where credit is due. U make it to the top 12 in the wsop then u might have a right to say hes an avg. player, till then...just keep playing ur lil hometown games with $10 buy-ins

August 23, 2004
2 percent of all players come out actually ahead each year. If you go to a card room, look and see all the millionairs around you, if you saw one talk to him im sure it wasn't cards that made him that way. You guys forgot paying back the backers. That is sometimes 50 percent your winnings. The guy who said Fischmann i don't question that, he makes Dutch look like a Hack. Im sure Dutch makes his REAL money in his online ventures anyway.

JR.
August 22, 2004
lol, yeah. You sweat your balls working a full time job probably making peanuts compared to what most pro players earn. Well aren't you the lucky one :) Poor old Dutch, winning hundreds of thousands playing a game I'm sure he enjoys. You the man Dutch

good for you!
August 21, 2004
"I have a real job, with a real life not a made up dog and pony show."

Define real. Dutch has won plenty of real money in the last two years. Fischmann won over $500,000 real dollars this year. Just because they don't hump a 40-50 hour work week (I'm sure you would say you work even more) doesn't mean their life isn't real, that they don't have a "real" job. I'm sure you're a hard working person, congratulations, but it doesn't make you any better than anyone else.

uhh
August 20, 2004
It doesn't change the fact that he's cashed over $140,000 in tournaments in the last 2 years. Check and see for yourself.

now we know who dutch has for a girlfriend. I have a real job, with a real life not a made up dog and pony show. Time for you to use your head, we all know few make real money off cards. There is a battle right now for the leader of the crew, but im sure you knew that.

Kolby, Flubber, you guys know nothing
August 19, 2004
>You'll never amount to anything in poker. How much in winnings do you have? More than $80,000? >You and your crew can keep dreaming. Dutch and the crew had 13+ money finishes this year, it's sad to watch you guys put them down, you'll be the ones never to amount to anything, with that attitude. Sad.Know who you are talking about before you form opinions. The bottom line is that you all know nothing about Dutch or the crew, except what ESPN shows you. If you form your opinions that way, you watch way too much television.>I heard Dutch is really with a guy from his crew.Dutch actually has a girlfriend, so your claims are baseless.I'd love to see what you fools have to say next. If it is anything like your previous trash, then it is probably a malformed opinion based on another television show you saw recently. Use your brain more than your mouthes, guys. Maybe someday you'll grow up and realize how embarassing it is for you to pollute the internet with your negative attitude. Everyone knows you guys are just unhappy with yourselves.

Hey Dutch, you and your "crew" suck. You'll never amount to anything in poker. you guys never win nothing anyway. You'd actually be a much better dealer, because you'd be able to count chips faster. Plus, you'll probabably make more money as a dealer than you ever would as a player. You and your crew can keep dreaming.

If you lost money on the old site, then you have a legitimate complaint. Who likes to lose money? However, I would venture a guess (a bet, even) that few of you who are posting here complaining about Dutch had nothing to do with the case. Businesses go sour sometimes, people. To be truthful, they fail a lot more than they succeed, and for many different reasons. Yes, obviously something went very wrong with Pokerspot, and as this was owned by Dutch, he shoulders most of the blame. That's just the way it works. But to make assumptions when you are not an inside part of the situation is beyond stupid. Of course everyone is going to assume the worst, because most people are only happy when they are miserable or making someone else so.I do not know Dutch Boyd, have never met the man and probably never will. But I do believe that everyone deserves a second chance, especially if some of what occured was not his/her fault. Quit being so sanctimonious, and give the man a break. Do you honestly think that someone with Dutch's credentials would ruin his place in the poker community on purpose? Credibility and respect from the games best is hard to come by, and easily lost. Good luck with Rakefree.com, Dutch. If your site is well maintained, the people will come. (Myself included)

The Franchise - just another knucklehead who doesn't know what he's talking about.Dutch hasn't changed his name. The concept of a nickname is a little smart for you.Sorry about that chip on your shoulder, why so much anger? Jealousy? Take a look at who is successful, who has won over $80,000 this year in tourneys, compare to yourself. Someday if you lose that negative losing attitude you could hope to achieve what he has.

Everyone talking smack about Dutch should play him (and win) before talking. If you beat him say what you want, if you don't shut up. You don't win a seat at WSOP (much less place 13th) without skill. Luck sure, but luck is worthless if skill hasn't already gotten you somewhere.As for Pokerspot. Most of those people would have lost their money anyway...

I have nothing to say good or bad about Boyd becusae personally I do not know him. But why do we see him playing in all these tourneys while still owing people money? From what I hear he he didn't give a dime of what he one in the 2003 WSOP or any tourney after. I can believe he didnt rip anyone off intentionally but to keep playing large buy-in tourenys and cashing out and never giving any money back boggles me. If he wants rescpect he should be gining at least a percentage of his winnings? correct me If I wrong. I twould be hard to come out to the public on ESPN ( he gets enough pub fromthem) an say hay, it might not pay everyonback asap but I am going to give some or a little as a start- But no-he keeps blaming somone else- must be nice

So is Scotty the new leader of the CREW? toss yer gang in to the back SEAT then EMPTY it 88.... The cream always rises to the top, Fischman's gonna be the crew member you people will idolize this time next year.... It's way too early to say, verdict isn't in on PSI, if it is indeed the same scam as the Spot was however i hope the next bracelet Dutch wears is a set of handcuffs and the next game he plays is for cigarettes. The days of waiting outside the card room with a shotgun are gone, here's hoping nobody's holding anybody up with the damned internet. My vote: Cheapskates are usually the ones ripped off, what bigger cheapskate can there be than somebody that doesn't want to acknowledge a site's right to rake an entry. Hope you choose to class up the crew by taking the lead Fischman. Nice goin in the WCOOP stud bud, and of course fantastic job at the WSOP.

re: your (it's you're) under his spell

If you took a step back or lost your hard earned money when he folded up shop you might feel different.I'm sure everyone who lost money at pokerspot felt that sting, but it doesn't change the fact that they're still don't know the truth, only that the easiest thing for them to say about it is that he stole money, and each one of them who accuses him is making an assumption based on very little knowledge. Yes, everyone has a right to an opinion, but does everyone have a right to slander someone just because they *think* it happened this way or that? No, they don't.Basically, unless you were there, you don't know how any of it went down, so for anybody here to accuse Dutch of stealing is pretty weak, you're only venting anger,, and Dutch is the easiest target. Nobody here has the right to accuse him, those people don't have a shred of evidence to point the finger at him.

I'm sick of everyone talking about his business affairs. This is supposed to be about poker. Anyone knows in the business world things can get manipulated and turned against you very easily. I'm sure he doesn't deny he could have done some things differently but who is perfect. Dutch has a fearless playing style that makes him difficult to predict and impossible to read. This post is supposed to be about poker, if you would like to make this a Bash Dutch page go write a letter, or start your own forum. Good Luck Dutch in your future games and if your ever in Austin looking for a game, shoot me a line on the email. There are some pretty bad ass games down there.-Chris

Why didn't he pay you back with the 80 grand? Because it's HIS money. Not Pokerspot's. HIS. He said that he would pay everyone back ONLY if he made so much that he could afford to, which I would say is pretty classy of him. Not many people would offer to pay back a $500,000 debt that isn't theirs with their own money.And why did he lie about what was happening at PokerSpot? He was trying to avoid a 1929 style crash. For those of you that don't know, banks don't actually have enough money to cover every deposit at all times. They usually have enough for everyone who wants to withdraw, but if everyone withdraws at once (like in 1929) they have a BIG problem. That being said, the only hope for Dutch's company was to get the money out of Net Pro Ltd. before the mass panic and withdrawl. As it obviously turned out, he couldn't, but telling white lies to ward off mass panic was the best way to handle the situation.And just a note: Dutch won his seat into the WSOP, and certainly didn't enter all the events... so kept most of that 80 grand.

He's always been a class act as far as I'm concerned.His explanation for what went wrong with his site isn't hard to swallow at all and I don't doubt he'll make good on paying people back to clear his name for something that wasn't really his fault to begin with.

If these guys couldn't take over the WWF... how are they going to take over the world of Poker. Also, an associates degree at 13 isn't that impressive (I think most preadolescants could accomplish a General Studies degree in a few years!!!)

I think Dutch Boyd has what it takes to be a huge success. He is young, smart, vivacious, has drive and determination. Plus, he is willing to make the sacrafice to do what it takes to achieve his goals. Yes, he made some mistakes along the way, but so does everyone who ever achieves anything in life. At least he admits his mistakes and is making an effort to try and rectify it. Time will tell if he does pay back the people who lost money on his original poker site. If so, then I would personally add "classy" to his attributes. If everyone out there taking the time to bash Dutch and making up stories if there are none to tell, would use half of that time to think about ways to enhance their own lives, they would would be surprised at what they might accomplish. Oh by the way, Dutch Boyd's AIM SCREEN NAME is posted right on his web site at www.rakefree.com. It is under the "Dutch Boyd" heading, right under his own e-mail address, if anyone is interested. :-)

Poker and gambling has never been honest.The reason Dutch can be seen in public is Most of the world class players are dishonest think about it. Last thing, if Dutch was so smart he would not need poker or to scam people with it. There are better ways to spend your time and easier ways to make money if you were as smart as he is.

Im not a hater i like happy endings too. All you Dutch fans read the post in this room by zero on july 11. It makes sense. Another thing, even if dutch was or is honest, why not pay back the people you wronged before you start a New site.

beef whistle
July 14, 2004
I can tell you from having spoke with Dutch myself that he wouldn't rip people off. Here is a thought for all you saying he stole the cash - why has Dutch continued to show up around poker rooms? 99% of all fraudsters take the money, run, and hide. Dutch hasn't done that at all. Cowards disappear after they take the cash, and believe me, all fraudsters are cowards who hide after they score the cash.Dutch hasn't hidden at all. Dutch, you're a good person who had a run of bad luck. These naysayers don't understand how the business works.Oh yeah, folks, if Dutch *did* take the money, why would he be stupid enough to try another poker room, unless he had plans to pay back Pokerspot players? Someone with his intelligence wouldn't waste their time. I'm more than confident Dutch will follow through with his promise. He is trying to make good on the PokerSpot fiasco.Go for it, Dutch, I'll be there right behind you!

remember2
July 14, 2004
my whole problem with the dutch boyd situation is that because he is a genious, he could have easily thought up a scheme to take that pokerspot money. as someone who has a law degree, he knows that people cannot sue him to collect gambling debt. this would give him the chance to take that money and blame it on a shotty organization like Net Pro. then again what the hell do i know? i personally trust the guy and dont think he would do that and still show his face in the poker community. plus it couldnt have been nearly enough money for it to be worth it. finally, people didnt lose the money they put in, they just couldnt cash out winnings, correct? whatever he is a good player.

Dutch Boyd is just an average to decent poker player, nothing else. The only reason he's a public figure is because he did well in the 2003 WSOP, and the 2003 WSOP was the most-watched poker television event ever, thus Dutch got a lot of air time.All the crap about him being a genius is stupid. He grew up in Missouri, for Christ's sake, anyone can skip grades there if they know how to spell their own name. Furthermore, you don't have to be terrilbly bright to go to law school early, you just have to be willing to work hard. Any 15 year old high school honors student could do it.Dutch clearly has a good idea of how to play the game, but so do a lot of people. What makes poker players great is their ability to read opponents and minimize their risk in tournament situations.It's so pathetic that this mainstream poker community that ESPN has created recognizes Dutch Boyd in an instant but they wouldn't have the faintest clue who players like John Juanda or TJ Cloutier are. I hate you all.

This threads more contraversial than abortion. But, I find it hilarious how people - in the face of cold, hard proof (in law school they refer to it as "evidence") reply with commetns like "he owns you" and "he's a better poker player than all of you." Speaking of law, maybe they wouldn't let him become a lawyer because he is too unethical. HAHA. Thats a joke. But its not as funny as all the fat girls on here posting that Dutch is sexy. Since when did evil become sexy?

Read this guys business plan under "investor relations" on rakefree.com. He proposes a minimum startup budget of 1.5 million. Guess where it goes. 1 million to buy patents and software from PSI, "a company he used to work for". PSI is the corporate name of pokerspot.com, the entity Dutch used to scam hundreds of thousands from innocent people. In short PSI and Dutch Boyd are the same thing, and he plans to make a "purchase" from himself for 1 million dollars, using other peoples money.Apparently stealing a couple 100 thousand with pokerspot wasnt enough, hes got his eyes set on 7 figures.

tip for Poker Pat. Watch Dewey Tomko then watch Gus Hanson. Now go to work somewhere in between. Ive been in tourneys for many years and i see no problem when your the 3to1 chip leader and seeing cheap flops no matter what your cards are.Most guys are playing tight with the last of their stakes so sometimes you need a good deceptive hand. Oh and another thing ive saw alot of preety race horses, but when their leg gets broke some times the good boss dont always put em out to pasture.

Dutch is not dead. I work in the LA media. There is no sheriff by that name and they will not release preliminary toxicology results(it leads to lawsuits). But it sounds like a lot of people want him dead. I actually kind of like him as a player. I admire all aggresive players. I'm still a novice and I think I play too conservatively...anyone have any tips for how to be aggresive and smart at the same time.

how can you possibly cheat when there is a dealer and they put the cards in order from ace, 2 ,3... throught king of each suit after EACH hand. Its not possible, enless you believe he had access to the hole card camera or so stupid ass shit like that, and with some of the pure stupidity i have seen you might. And how did they "take his entry fee" hadnt he already paid to get in the tourny? Did espn take his entry fee from the pot? that wouldnt make much sense now would it. what a buffoon.

Kim
June 23, 2004
Whew... that whole death thing... interesting... I don't know about hte whole cheating/stealing/ whatever, but he's a decent player. Luck is the key, I think, and that is why Moneymaker won 2003 and why the pros can't beat em. Skill is skill, but what is skill versus pocket rockets? Boyd has some skill and more than a little syle, and is certainly someone most people would.. um... deal in, we'll say. Chan's equal? Perhaps, perhaps not. Depends on who's feelin lucky.

how can you cheat by scratching his nose. Its not like his friends can tell him someones hand over headphones because no one knows the other guys hand.

Reuters, 6/11/04: A body washed up on the shores of Malibu, CA this morning. It was reported that the body was poker star Russ "Dutch" Boyd. The report went on to say that Boyd had been surfingWed. night with friends including poker pro Scott Fischman. Fischman was quoted as saying, "they had just been hanging out on the beach around a bon-fire enjoying the great weather and some tunes." Boyd then proceeded to go "catch some waves" around 8:45pm on Weds. evening and that was the last the crew saw of the controversial poker star. Search crews and divers were brought in to search the area but found nothing until the body's washing the next morning. Los Angeles county Sheriff Jim Wickman reported that the tideswere "extremely treacherous" and that it was very unsafe for Boyd to be inthe surf. Initial blood tests have shown traces of marijuana in Boyd's body.

Dutch boyd has not been around as long as some of the more famous names, yet he is better than a lot of them. I have watched him play, read some of his articles, and talked to him, and besides his great poker skills he is an all-around good guy. Because somebody failed once, you will reject them forever? It makes no sense, he is even more well-known now and has more experience with poker websites, so the chance that it doesn't get better this time around is very slim. Dutch, if you read this, keep playing poker, and keep up the pace on that website, hope it all goes well.

At the World Series, Dutch was in a three handed match at Razz with T.J. Cloutier and Howard Lederer for the bracelet.The pals in Dutch's cheering section included Scott who won two events and Brett who won one. Dutch placed second and has cashed in several events.After teaching in College twenty years, I came to believe this current digital generation are incredibly bright and these guys prove it.Youth is the future of tournament poker. The larger fields make endurance a big factor.For a couple of years, I have been honored to call Dutch my friend. Down through history, many famous successful people had an early failure. Forgive Dutch and forget what he did. Look at what he and his pals are doing. The ESPN crews love Dutch because he is very colorful compared to many players. He is good for poker. Dutch Boyd will be around a long time. And he will be getting better all along.Johnny Hughes, Ph.D.

Dutch Boyd is a con man
May 17, 2004
Dutch Boyd isn't in federal prison because he committed his crimes outside the jurisdiction of the United States. I'm one of Boyd's victims. Among other things:1) When Pokerspot was going under, rather than tighten back the budget, he increased the number of promotions (mainly free rolls) in order to desperately attract users back to his site. In other words, he used his customers' money to try to attract new customers. 2) He bounced checks and also lied repeatedly about checks being in the mail. I was owed a few checks from Boyd and he told me several times "oh, your checks were mailed weeks ago, you should have gotten them by now!" 3) He was offered a buyout option for his company and software that would have given him enough money to pay back his customers and keep a bit for himself, but it would have involved signing a non-competition agreement which would have forced him out of the online poker business. He turned this offer down claiming "you won't get me out of the industry that easily." 4) What I find most galling, when Boyd made the final table of the WSOP last year, someone asked him if he'd use his winnings to pay back the Pokerspot players, and he said he would only be able to do so if he won first place. Because you know, $1.2 million or whatever 2nd place was wouldn't be enough to pay back the $400,000 he owes his customers.

Dutch Boyd is an amazing poker player and nobody posting to this list can deny it. He has charisma, style, intelligence, and quite honestly I can see how people are intimidated by him. It's pathetic how all these amateurs are STILL criticizing him for starting a business, which is something most people will never even have the ambition or courage to do. Dutch, keep dazzling them like you always do, and good luck at WSOP 2004 (Hopefully I'll be able to see some of it in person!) And F.Y.I., gentlemen, a little confidence-- or even arrogance-- used in moderation, can be devastatingly sexy.

'Sup all...thought you'd be interested to know that Dutch cashed in at 13th/538 people in WSOP Event #7 18th/400 people in the WSOP Event #18, both of which were no-limit events. So to those of you that said he doesn't have game...you're wrong.

I saw Dutch on TV like everyone else. He seemed like a charismatic guy and a bit of a punk. Then I happened to sit next to him in a tournament. I had no idea of his history, just what I saw on TV. This guy is charming, sincere and good for poker. I have no way of knowing how he handled his business venture, but he apparently has pledged to make the losses right. Geez O'Pete, get off his ass. His success is good for everyone, show some support. Good luck Dutch, don't worry about a thing...I got your back!

My guess it that it would be pretty hard to get in contact with any professional poker player right now because of the world series. I know that Dutch is playing almost every WSOP event until the end of May. If you check the WSOP schedule, it is pretty hectic. There's an event everday and most last at least two days. These guys start at 12:00pm and if they do well go until about 4am, run to their rooms get sleep and do it all again the next day. May has to be by far the most rigorous month for a poker professional and from keeping up with Dutch's posts, he is simultaneously working on trying to start the rakefree cardroom, so I'm sure he wasn't trying to be rude.

April 11, 2004
I dont think he stole money, but even if he did. arent we posting coments about his poker skills...? Come on this guy is a great player.

Gianna is right
April 11, 2004
Gianna makes a very good point. Not to mention Dutch would be in the Federal prison if he did indeed commit such a crime. So stop hating this guy just because you guys are jealous. There is waaaay too much jealousy in poker. These guys are good because they are. You guys are jealous. Well..........because if you weren't you would be taking so much time to criticize people that have no influence on your lives. Give it a rest. Most of the folks on this site are never going to be able to compete at the professional level. Yet, you guys love to complain and make comments about play that is far beyond your capacity to understand. Just enjoy the poker and leave your personal opinions to yourselves. By the way. Bashing in someones brains results in some serious jail time. Give that some thought the next time you believe you have been stolen from. Contact the POLICE and let them handle it. That is unless you like men fondling your ass in a jail cell.

Absolutely amazing!!! I guess the majority of people DO believe every little bit of hearsay they come across. That's too bad. Dutch started a business. The company holding the money went bankrupt. That company was the same type of company as neteller or firepay. The same kind of company you trust you money to all the time. Their job is to act as your offshore bank. They pay the online poker site NOT YOU. Think about it. If neteller or firepay goes down whoever they are suppose to cash out loses the money. That means you and anycompany they are supposed to pay out! What kind of an idiot do you think DutchBoyd would have to be to give up ALL the profit that pokerspot would have made in the future for the chump change you are accusing him of stealing. Do you dimwits ever use your brains. The site was still new. They didn't even have that much money yet. They had just started making money. I mean the guy graduated from lawschool at 18...do you really think he is that stupid?!! Look at the online poker sites that are up now. Do you have any idea how much dough they rake in a month. I mean come on people. Why would you steal a golden egg if you already owned the goose that was laying the golden eggs? You're arguments besides childish and immature, make absolutely no sense. That is when they are actually arguments and not just ignorant insults. And Jimmy's brilliant idea of giving him money to fund his new site in order to "hurt him bad"...is this guy for real? Number one, how can that hurt him. Number two, the people who lost money at pokerspot are the very first people to gain money from Rakefree. If those people were smart they would be doing everything in the power to make sure this thing works. Not discouraging it! Dutch don't listen to the fools in this world that would like nothing better than for everyone around them to fail so they can feel like they haven't. You have accomplished more in experience at the age of 23 than most of them will gain in a lifetime, and that is worth its weight in gold. Stay strong and never lose faith in your ability to succeed despite all odds. Remember ... everything happens for a reason.

Seriously, WHY would anyone trust Boyd with his/her money!? I'd rather play in a card room hosted by a bum. At least he wouldn't have a history of losing innocent peoples money.

Matt
March 24, 2004
I don't see how anyone can defend his play against Moneymaker. It was late in the tournament and he was one of the bigger stacks. There weren't enough chips in the pot for it to be worth the risk. Also, why choose to go up against Moneymaker, who also had a big stack and could cripple you if he called. I can understand this play against a short stack, but he had to know that if Moneymaker had any kind of pair he was 30% at best to win on the turn or river.

March 14, 2004
I think, in order for Boyd to have any chance at making a run at the final table, he needed to make a move and go all-in. I would likely do the same, sometimes you just have to take chances. The odds were not heavily in Moneymaker's favor either, just slightly.

dutch is a solid aggressive player with a promising future ahead him in whatever field he pursues. a prodigy and overall cool person. i only hope in future events, he doesn't go all in with two over cards against a possible after the flop as he did with pocket king, queen against moneymaker's pocket threes. after the first three community cards, two high faces against a small pair is no longer a coin toss, its just a plain loss, sorry russ. keep practicing and remember, it doesn't take chip tricks to win- avian

It's really sad that Dutch Boyd gets hacked on by a bunch of amateurs who have never and will never take a risk and start a business. The guy took a chance and it didn't work out. Everything I have read says when he makes it again, his 1st priority is to pay those people back. Thats something all the haters out there don't have.......CLASS!! Keep doing your thing Dutch your one of the best and most entertaining players to watch!

Dutch is a solid player with good style. Him and Ivey are the future. Made a careless call to Fahra, but a big threat in upcoming WS. 1st site was failed business, you dont just get away with website scams, but new site Rakefree isnt as good as it sounds. There is a monthly fee so if you think about it its just as arbitrary as having a 5 percent rake.

You guys that got ripped off by Boyd have no balls. If it were me, I would contact him and tell him I wanted to invest in his new site.........then hurt him...badly.

decent, aggressive player. Owes me $2300 from pokerspot, but i am in the minority in thinking he actually DIDN'T rob it. BTW, i'm quite sure his "chip tricks intimidate people" comment was tongue in cheek, as was most of his commentary.

Well, i'm not excatly sure how good he really is but im sure we can learn a think or ten...His play against Moneymaker was perfect in my opinion, he plays strong and thats what puts you in the top percentages in turnements. I like to watch him play, and about his site, It sounds like a good idea, cuz i play alot online and kinda low limits (2,4) It might save some money, i dont know. Ill have to see whats up with the site when its up.

Dutch i really dont know if you stole that money or not and really dont care. I will never play at your site because there is a chance you did and it just sounds like a bad bet. I play both online and land based and i watched u play at the world series and did not think you were any better than any other amature player and dont expect to ever see you at a final table or that close again but that is just me.

First of all, "you have to be kidding me" your an idiot, and i hope i dont have to explain why. now that i got that out of my way, Dutch i hope to see you at that final table this year.i was wondering if you had some videos of some of your turneys. or if not, you know how i would get my hands on them? Thanks anyway. Stay cool. - john

Hey Dutch, you're my favorite poker player, I think your style of play is awesome. I say, just believe the man, I really doubt he's a thief, he seems like a nice guy. So, keep working on RakeFree and I hope to see you at the WSOP in May!Oh, and BTW, I recently purchased Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold'Em, and I wondered which poker books you would recommend. Thanks a lot!

FYI - if you want to hear about what happened with Pokerspot, check out the FAQ page at www.rakefree.com. I definitely don't deny that a lot of people lost money at Pokerspot. But I didn't steal a dime. I lost a lot of money on that site as well.

I recently watch Dutch play. He's a genius! It would a toal blessing for me to get poker playing lessons from someone like him. I think he finished 13th in the game I watch him play. Chris moneymaker won. But, I was more interested in Boyd's strategy. I've been really interested in playing, but everyone seems to think that playing cards is just for guys. I'm only 15 and I think that if I start early on learning and get a tutor like Dutch Boyd I could be one of the best. I already know the concepts of almost all card game. I just need someone to teach how to win and to stay cool under pressure. Thanks, Brooke Marsh
