Do you really think it only happened in one tourney? I think there were several months worth of cash games and tournies that were cheated. I also have two theories on why they were caught.

1) they were cheating for a long time and became very complacent. I don't think that tourney winner was very smart nor a very good poker player. Why did they let him play with those super powers? They really let their guard down!

2) there were many people involved and someone was not happy with the 'cut they were getting' and 'tried to get caught'. Greed does strange things to people. Revenge!

Thank you,

I think this is the correct way to look at this. Just because a "suspicious" player is submitted for investigation, does not mean that player is being accused. I think it is fair to look at anything that seems out of the ordinary.

Furthermore, any "accused" player will likely be tipped off soon enough and (s)he can respond in this very thread.

For example: McBill has to know that his name has come up. If he was available for the AP interview after the BIG WIN, I am sure he will be informed about this thread and invited to clear things up.

So, I don't think submitting names per se can be qualified as a "witch hunt."

Finally, I mentioned that UGAISTHETEAM won the first three AP MTT 8k guarantees back in 2004. It was quickly revealed that he is 100% legit and above suspicion. Thus, there was no harm done. I think this process should remain open with the understanding that the mere mention of a name does not equal an accusation.
