PPA should disassociate itself from scandal ridden CEO Poker tour

They seem legit. They've been around since 1994.

I'm talking about the IP of the registered user claiming to represent this real charity, not the charity itself. There are multiple accounts registered that have been identified to link directly to ceopoker1 via IP addresses. We are currently taking the post from the charity representative at face value. Given the shadiness of CEO Poker's dealings on this site, wouldn't it be prudent to also verify this is not associated to ceopoker1? That would be pretty despicable, but her actions so far have been far from honest. Easy enough to check.

Ceopoker1 is not matched with the Jeff Gordon account or the Cubalibre account (obvious gimmick). However, it is matched with apokermaniac, thepokerace1, twisterpoker and pokerdoc101.

Also, don't forget that the key post in this thread wasn't Mason's, it was Admo's. Admo4mod.

I'm not good at english, but I'm taking this to mean the Jeff Gordon account is not matched to any of these accounts.

I'm a little slow with pronouns sometimes. Is it correct that ceopoker1 matches apokermaniac, thepokerace1, twisterpoker and pokerdoc101? Is it correct that ceopoker1 does not match with Jeff Gordon or Cubalibre?

Correct

Ceopoker1=apokermaniac=thepokerace1=twisterpoker=p okerdoc101
Jeff Gordon
Cubalibre

I'll remind people that haven't seen the Jeff Gordon post that if it is legit (and it looks that way to me) that CEOPoker did in fact donate the money to the charity. So if this is a scam, the charity money isn't a part of the scam.

And to be fair, my suggestion <font color="blue">Mods: Please also check thepokerace1 and twisterpoker as being shills</font> was just because I happened to recall a comment I remembered seeing by PokeReader in another CEO-oriented thread (see final post in this thread)

What 18% did we take at the Taj? At this point that is not true. The rake was not 18% at the Taj. We didnt even have a charity component.

And as I explained in the thread above the numbers above proove we didnt have an 18% or 20% juice. Please look at the pay outs.

My statement I believe addresses what type of action we are ready to take to address the concerns of the players and the forum.

Maria you have really pinned yourself in a corner. You claim the Taj Mahal entrants were not overcharged. Here are the exact numbers form the prliminary events at the Taj. They follow a similar pattern of excessive juice.



Here are the numbers for the events you claimed werent overcharged.

BUY-IN $550

Prizepool $116,100
Entires: 258

258 x $450 = $116,100
FINAL RESULTS: May.19 VIEW STANDINGS: May.19

$450 of each players $550 went into the Prizepool.

Each Player paid $450 + $100


May 20th 163 entires at $550

Total Prizepool $73,350

163 x $450 = $73,350

Again the players were charged $450 + $100


May 21 138 entries at $550

Total Prizepool $62,100

Guess what

138 x 450 = $62,100

Three tournaments where players paid $450 plus $100 juice

Next was the $1625 buyin

77 Entries

Prizepool of $85,250

This tourney was a staggering $1107 + $518 juice.



Can you dispute these exact numbers?

Every CEO tourney from the Taj, Palms and Venetian all have the same pattern. An entry fee that shows 8-10% juice but an actual 18-20% taken out.

Will wait for someone from CEO to dispute these exact numbers....

I will await Marias response to these exact Taj numbers when i look at this thread later today.....

[apefish]

I have no idea how this has been overlooked so far... but it is time for Admo's best mspaint ever.


Admo for god.
