Despite waging a war for millions of dollars on two fronts, both against the Borgata and the UK’s Crocksford Casino, over his current “edge sorting” scandal, Ivey continues to get support from various parts of the poker world.

Most notably perhaps was a rant-like series of Tweets from perhaps the highest profile poker pro on the planet, Ivey’s good friend, Daniel Negreanu. The aggressive tirade seemingly left no room for discussion on where “Kid Poker” stood on this situation.

Been reading up on poker news lately and the people running the Borgata high limit pit have to be incredibly stupid overall.— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) April 19, 2014

All high limit gamblers should be watching the Borgata case closely. How it’s ruled will affect gamblers rights in the future.— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) April 19, 2014

My hat’s off to any man who can get an edge on a big time casino. It’s just straight baller and I have zero empathy for the big fish.— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) April 19, 2014

Big fish sets all the rules, oks all the rules, they need to eat it when they get beat and not be whiny biatches about it.— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) April 19, 2014

It’s appalling to freeroll customers. Take their money if they lose but don’t pay when they win? Are you for real Borgata? That’s dirty.— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) April 19, 2014

I’ve been hustled before, but the idea of not paying was never even a consideration! Borgata- you got hustled bad. Get over it already.— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) April 19, 2014

Suing customers who crushed your souls is a bad look. You got bent over. Might as well smile and enjoy it. #Borgata— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) April 19, 2014

Borgata, you thought Ivey was stupid and you tried to bury him. He hustled you, smoked you, and left you feeling silly. Stand responsible!— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) April 19, 2014

No one in the world has empathy for Borgata in this. Stop playing victim because YOUR hustle wasn’t as good as Ivey’s— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) April 19, 2014

What do you think? Is Ivey just a hustler, edge seeker or straight up con man?
