Re: A Seif Bet - for those who still believe a word he, or AP, says
[ QUOTE ]
I suggest you go back and read what Mark Seif wrote.
[/ QUOTE ]
I read every single word he wrote, several times. He made several significant statements in that post. I wish for everyone's sake (including his) that he had said those things a month ago.
[ QUOTE ]
He said he was assured by AP that seeing hole cards was impossible, an assurance which he believed, naive of him or not. Thus, he looked at the HH from the angle of trying to justify the plays, since he incorrectly believed that POTRIPPER couldn't see everyone's cards.
[/ QUOTE ]
For what it's worth, I have also been put in the position he is supposedly in. People I thought I could trust, telling me something that did not square with reality. It's not relevant here so I won't bore anyone with the details.
It is a telling measure of a mans character how he reacts in that situation. Seif is failing that test pretty badly.
He is smart enough to know, despite what anyone told him, that POTRIPPER cheated. Once he arrived at that conclusion, his moral obligation was to make sure everyone knew that.
[ QUOTE ]
He even said he thought it looked suspicious. To the final hand, he said that there were "...possible, albeit rare, explanations." He never said a mis-click was definitely the reason for the call. He said it was a rare possibility.
[/ QUOTE ]
At this point in time, given what has occurred, someone in Seif's position posting that it is *possible* a misclick was responsible for the call is stupid.
We know it was intentional, he knows it was intentional, just f'ng say it, and cut the crap.
[ QUOTE ]
He then finishes his bullet point #4 by saying he and the other player who looked at the HH were "mistaken."
Seif admits that his analysis of the HH was incorrect and that there was cheating going on. I don't know why you keep asserting that he is still trying to justify the plays.
[/ QUOTE ]
I don't think he is trying to justify the plays. He was before but he isn't now. The justifiable anger emanating from 2p2 and elsewhere finally got him to clear that one up.
It's a bit of a minor point in this whole drama, but it is my opinion that at a critical moment for him and for AP, he chose to lie about potripper.
