    Dutch Boyd raising funds on Kickstarter for autobiography / poker strategy book

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...t-book-project

    I’m Dutch Boyd, a professional poker player. You may have seen me on ESPN in videos such as this. I’ve won 2 World Series of Poker Bracelets, something that few poker players have been able to achieve.

    After winning my first WSOP title, I was asked, “What does winning a bracelet mean to you?” My answer: “Now If I ever go broke, I can always write a book”. See the video.

    Well now that time has come. So I'm setting out to write the greatest book ever. I’ve teamed up with published author Laurence Samuels to make sure this dream turns into a reality.

    Why the fuck would anyone buy a book from this clown. So funny. These fucking clowns thought they were rock stars a few years ago on tv with their sunglasses. Now most are fucking broke with no prospects for anything.

    I remember back in the day when I listened to Donkdown radio, call it 2010. Micon said, proudly, "I am unemployable". Yeah, he is right.

    Going to be hilarious to see these broke poker pros limping around casinos when they are 50.

    The only thing you need to write a book is a pencil, paper and something to say. To get said book published you need an agent and a publisher, which does not need anyone from kickstarter giving you money to be a lazy ass.

    This is more like a scam gambit to instead of making money from the sale of the book, instead to make money from kickstarter and print 100 copies of his book off amazon. Shell game.

    What is troubling is he is calling it a strategy/autobiography: the strategy section is meaningless and probably cost him a book deal (yet another poor decision...), considering he has an intriguing story if he talks everything from College at 12, to PokerSpot, to the Crew days, to being bipolar, to being busto and willing to wash dishes to pay his rent despite having multiple degrees and being something of a certified genius. Shit, I'll write THAT book with him, but it will never happen because he never owns up to anything.
    I write things about poker at my Poker Blog and elsewhere on the Internets

    Estimated release of book june/july.

    Looks like he is just trying to get enough money together to be able to live for 2-3 months.

    Looks like he's trying to get enough money to play 1 or 2 cheap wsop events.

    In theory the money could be for his writing partner's time and whatever else, and actually physically publishing it but yeah, I wouldnt be opening my wallet for this.

    Steve-o you should just write a "If I had done it" OJ style book about Dutch.

    Call the main character Frenchy and you'll be fine.
    When faced with a difficult decision, ask yourself "What would Micon do?", then do the opposite.

    So if one donates between 1-5$ it is just a donation? Freeroll for him

    Rest of the way it is setup looks fine as far as people buying blocks.

    What if it doesn't get published? Is it a guarantee it is published if he comes up with the 5,000?

    What happens if it partially sells out? What happens to the cash?



    Will def buy book too

    Kickstarter can't guarantee that creators complete their projects, but technically their terms of service legally obligate the creators to do what they promise. It's up to the backers to follow up on that.

    Kickstarter holds all the money until the deadline. If the campaign doesn't reach its target by then, everyone gets their money back and the campaign fails.

    This story of Dutch being broke is really sad.
    But honestly, he might be the laziest poker player in the history of poker.

    Now he's begging for $5k.

    And what is $5k for normal people?

    It's called a savings account.

    And you can have one within about a year (or 2 max) if you just go out and get a fucking job and be sensible with your money.

    Just Pathetic and sad.

    Going to tough for this guy to survive. He was the poker protégé that graduated college at 17 and became a poker celebrity, the next Stu Unger? Not only is this guy unemployable, he has probably limited social skills because his adult life has been spent inside a card room.

    The funny thing is, even with all the recent poker failures, there are still delusional fucks on this site. For instance, one poster said the other day "I hear Daniel N is getting high SEVEN figures a year on Pokerstars". Or something of that effect. You know how stupid that sounds? So using this mope's logic, basically Daniel has a 5 year $40M endorsement deal on a site no US players can play? Basically he is commanding Lebron James endorsement money. LOL, how fucking naïve. Yeah, the two largest economies in the world (US / China) cannot play, but you are going to command an endorsement deal reserved for Tiger Woods. Makes total sense.

    People are still trying to live the dream. Since the UIGEA in 2008: "Its only the matter of time before the US taxes online poker and regulates it". Ummm, not happening dickheads. You need to OVERTURN FEDERAL legislation. Look how tough it is to get Gay Marriage passed. You think Obama gives a shit about online poker? I guarantee you he detests gambling, more than any right wing Republican.

    Get this through your FUCKING HEAD. Just about every one of those douche bags you beat your pud to on TV in 2005 is either broke or on their way to broke. There are always exceptions here and there, but Dutch Boyd and his fucking goofy ass sunglasses from 2005 are not nearly as cool now as they were then.

    You people need to start listening to me.

    I can't believe his goal was only $5k which got raised for this though none of his stretch goals made it.

    I rather give to Taco.

    BUMP

    Book was slated for July.

    Didn't happen.

    Last update was this, on September 4:

    Update #9 Sep 4, 2013
    Bronchitis...

    Writing is going well. The book is taking longer than I thought but I want to make this book the highest quality product I can provide for you.

    Thanks for being patient. Poker Tilt will be in your hands soon enough.

    - Dutch
