But I just thought it was funny how cheesy the last three or four paragraphs of Jeff Mann's letter was. It kind of reminded me of a politician trying to be funny in public or something. And plus I thought that was a horrible line about how Phelps had a better chance of making money in the Maccau event rather than from any further endorsement deals.

The use of an agent to send the letter in private might have been prudent however. I think maybe the whole open letter thing was a way to call dude out online so he 'had' to play. But since he actually opted not to swim on thru, kinda backfired no? Sending the guy a letter or an offer isn’t sooo bad..

I've heard he does really well in Casino Windsor when he plays. I just don't know if I see him coming to the game anytime soon though with so many endorsements to be made right now (though he could do some poker ones).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not rooting against him or hoping he fails (far from it), but he is a freak of nature who is used to dominating, I wonder how he would handle a big suck out that cripples him in the WSOP? :) Jim I want to see Phelps play just to see first if he is any good, and second if the game humbles him like it does so many players.
