Behold the power of 2+2.

There is strength in numbers.

I'd like to say thanks to Stephen for stepping up and following through. It looks like things are heading in a direction that will forever change the CEO Poker Tour.

Has anyone been in touch with the PPA to see if they can help in this matter? Sounds like this is a fight they need to be involved in. If this doesn't met the criteria of protecting Poker players; I don't know what will.

I understood from the PPA thread that they are no longer pursuing the matter... Is this correct?

the fact that this wasnt what was said at all and this is what you took from it worries me.

just wrote and email to the Board stating that we need to either help the players who are going after the CEO PT, or we need to walk away from the whole thing (as opposed to our earlier published position of working with the CEO PT).

There is no doubt that helping the players correlates with our goals in the PPA. The internal question for the Board to decide is whether we should expend some of our resources on this issue, or instead spend those resources on something else that we think would be more helpful to the poker community.

I hope you will all understand this should the PPA choose not to actively get involved going forward.

Thanks, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

Sorry i missed the "should" in his last sentence. If you read it quickly it sounds like he is saying they have higher priorities
