    As if I needed more of a reason to hate WPT.

    They clearly need to be more careful who they license their name to, and under what conditions

    I used to be a mod with David Lappin on a poker forum years and years ago. He's always been a stand-up guy.

    he didn't. everyones overreacting. some dude was in an online poker tourney and asked for an opinion on a discord group with 100 diff poker players. ren lin gave his opinion (not knowing or knowing) he was in a tourney. and people got mad over it. the guy ended up winning and giving people $500. ren lin got outed later on and gave like $85k back to the tournament runners. and people been bitchin ever since.

    I don’t understand why club wpt gold would even want to sign the guy.

    Fwiw, it's WPT Global, not ClubWPT Gold. WPT owns ClubWPT Gold, but only license WPT Global and ClubWPT Gold

    edit as per /u/ASG_82

    They own ClubWPT, not Gold or Global.

    Yeah, you're correct. Three different brands from three different owners.

    Time to make WPT Platinum, not to be confused with the former sites.
