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.
