It’s *my* personal opinion, as a lawyer who studied antitrust law in law school, that Raymer’s being a pedantic ass (and that the lawsuit has a serious uphill battle). Also, I thought Greg Raymer was smart enough to know that not every one is going to be pleased by this action, no matter that “we are doing this to help them”. Did he ever consider that maybe some people don’t want or *need* his “help”?

That he’s doing this to “help all of us” is a load of tripe, of course. The average player stands to gain nothing from this lawsuit. The antitrust arguments are a stretch and anyway won’t really matter much to a guy who satellites into a WPT event off of Party Poker, and the portion of the poker community that will benefit from a change in the WPT release is less than 1 percent. Who’s got whose hand in whose ass, Greg? And really, don’t expect any pity party that you’re using your own money to fund this lawsuit.
