I received this reply from AB...

I noticed late last night on fcp that people were watching this guy (or one of his alleged aliases) "dump chips" off to other people - also allegedly his accounts or his friends.

Could be that he just doesn't know what he's doing and was on the run of his life. Could also be it's all true and this guy was dumping his profit off to other accounts - although I would think that if it were true the account would have been frozen and the funds revoked.

fuck the site being rigged, if they can't write a company email using proper grammar and spelling words correctly they ain't getting my business.

clearly rigged

Jose's first language is clearly not english - I suspect it's french. I'm used to dealing with french firsters so it didn't bother me.

Just to be clear, I am not being jingoistic here. Often in my work I have to communicate to folks in languages other than english and you can bet your ass when I do I get a native speaker to review the entire correspondence to confirm all my spelling and grammar, as well as to make sure that I am not missing something in the phrasing or translation. Sometimes we have to pay for this service out of pocket, but it is always worth it. It comes down to valuing your work and the work of others, also known as professionalism.

When a business doesn't value professionalism I think they are revealing a corrupt core.

For other forum post of the year. I don't know if it is true or not, but it is extremely compelling.

[Reel Deal]

Welp, that's good enough for me.

Wow, just wow.

I just want to say I was in this tournament, and actually at the alleged cheater's table.

'POTRIPPER' probably played over 60% of the hands, and of the 60% he played, probably won around 80%. About 30 minutes into the game, there was actually rumbling at the table that he was cheating. On Pocketfives, there was a post showing his hands and the hands of us at the table, and strangely, whenever he had cards that didn't match the limpers, he'd always play. He would always sniff out a bluff and the only time POTRIPPER lost a large pot was when he was ahead on the turn, got all in and lost on the river.

There is no doubt this guy could see the cards.

I hope they close AP, confiscate his funds and return my buy in for this tournament and any other time I played with him or any of the other alleged cheaters.

This is interesting, The HH Spreadsheet has been interpreted and put into a pfx hand viewer and put on youtube. ENJOY!

[Talking Poker]

Nice find. Thanks.

Talk about damning evidence. You'd think they wouldn't be quite so obvious... you know, maybe not playing EVERY SINGLE HAND perfectly.

I'll be very interested to see how this all shakes out... In theory, we will know exactly who was behind this eventually. I wonder what sorts of charges they will end up facing, if anything.

For those who can't get enough, but hate digging through 2+2:



The Wizard of Odds calculatiuons are AWESOME:

Just updating you guys..

I received a call from an AP rep saying they will be crediting my account for $500 for leaking IP information and email in the HH they sent out.

I assume I will eventually receive my buy in back as well.

lol @ bolded above

[Windbreaker]

Absolute admits games were compromised.

I like how this TP thread links to 2+2 which links to P5s which links to their own statement. To save all the clicks for everyone else, here it is:

Well done, internet poker investigators!
