Although some might view it as an error in judgment, these top players don't want to be told what to do. He's not doing anything illegal by going into a casino to play poker. If he loves the game and the money is inconsequential to him I don't see it as a problem at all.

Yes, I understand that he isn't doing anything illegal (in 1/2 the states), but he is a person who is under contract for the next few years.
So if my boss & his bosses boss asks me not to do something & I don't follow their "request", then I am seen in public doing the same thing I was asked not to do...what is there my bosses can do?
When you sign a professional contract, you are willing to follow their rules...if they ask you not to be involved in High stakes poker, then you shouldn't do it till your contract is finished...then remember for your next contract to get a "Poker" clause put into it.
