Very well stated, jalexone. I've been following the thread, and as an internet player myself, since poker is illegal in my state, I feel Stephen/double/fiji are wasting the PPA's time!

Things that make you go hmmm...

It's funny how a 5 month old account sits idly by and then his first 2 post are concerning the CEO Poker Tour.

Why would pursuing a company that has potentially defrauded poker players out of prize money earnings be a waste of time?

If it had been an online poker company defrauding players would it then be okay for the PPA to step in?

Once again, from the PPA web site:
<font color="blue">
WHO IS THE POKER PLAYERS ALLIANCE?
The Poker Players Alliance is a nonprofit membership organization comprised of poker players and enthusiasts from around the United States who have joined together to speak with one voice to promote the game, ensure its integrity, and, most importantly, to protect poker players' rights.

If the PPA does not step in to help, then they damn sure need to change their core premise because that's what is at the heart of this issue.

You are either for fairness in the poker community (online or brick &amp; mortar) or you are with those who want to exploit &amp; defraud money from us. Where do you stand?

If Stephen/doublejoker/fiji feel so strongly about this, why don't they offer to join the organization? I'm sure that if they were on the Board, these problems will never surface again with the CEO tour.

What an silly statement. After all that has come to light- do you really think this is to be a trusted group?

So tell me, do you have any relations or involvement with the members of the CEO Poker Tour?
