hi russell,
i was just made aware of these serious allegations this morning while playing at the wpt event at the borgata, where i am presently. while i have not had a chance to investigate this matter, i can tell you and anyone else who believes or for whatever reason has stated that i am somehow involved in this matter, unequivocally, i do not now, nor have i ever, had the ability to see hole cards on any poker site i have ever played at including absolute poker.

i doubt my results would be what they are if i had the ability to see my opponents' hole cards. in fact, i am almost certainly the biggest all-time loser on the site and have been crushed in the big games for a long, very long time. if anything, i would very much like this matter thoroughly investigated so that we can all find out what has happened, and if appropriate, to take swift remedial action such as seizing funds and returning them to the players cheated, including myself, if in fact, ap's security protections have been compromised.

No one doubts that Seif is a huge loser, he just has had a few verrrrrrry weird sessions that merit investigation imo.

Schneids: why were you so adamant about getting the exactly playing times of when doubledrag logged back on last night?

p.s. my absolute contact says that all related accounts are locked and under investigation

We know when Seif was not available to play online. This could potentially rule him out (if the dumping were done while he was at a WPT table) or be used as more circumstantial evidence (if the dumping was done during the breaks).

It's hilarious that Mark Seif has to admit to being a huge donater to try clear his name!

If the holecard software simply spits out text like "seat 6: 9c2c" does he consider that "seeing" the cards? What if someone was relaying them via IM or phone? Does he know anyone with access to the holecards?

um, if he is willing to cheat by finding out hole cards, then he is willing to lie on his blog...

(not saying he does cheat - I don't know, but you trying to read "behind" his words is weird).
