    Totally agree with this, and considering that Negreanu is quite respected he probably didn't want to rub it in......

    Talk about conflicted. Maybe he should just take his 15M and quit. Be done with poker altogether if you see it as such a filthy industry.

    He's probably looking the IRS rep in the eyes who is there to take his share of half that load of cash!!

    Just read a few more articles on this. I fully support Colman's attitude. I have a friend who played poker for years as a job and we'd get together from time to time. By the end of it all, he was still in it (because he could make good money) but was very conflicted on it all because he saw people's lives just getting destroyed by their gambling addiction, and he was on the other end of it taking their money, knowing that many of those people couldn't afford to lose it.

    This Colman guy seems to be in a similar place. Realizing he can make some good money off it all, but not wanting to be in a place where he glorifies it as anything more than a destructive habit that does great damage to people as well. Interesting place to be in life. Not sure why he continues to stay involved, but maybe that 15 million dollars gives me some insight.
