I can't help but think that Absolute is gonna offer BIG hush money to some people on this site. It's their only way out.

Not really a way out at this point I dont think.

Besides N82, Ad, and Dan seem to be above taking such money

Dont know where this should be inserted in the cliffsnotes timeline but it was on august22, before the potripper tourney, where I got 2nd to one of the cheating accounts, Payup, in the 1k mtt.

I laughed about Payups invincibility throughout the course of the tourney with inissint while on the phone but didnt think anything of it really until 2+2 started looking into the potripper tourney which i THINK occured later. I sent adanthar my hh for the payup tourney and he essentilly confirmed that the same shenanigans were involved and the payup account was also closed by AP.

Seriously? I haven't heard about this tourney before.

[/ QUOTE ]

I identified it from Sheets' and Grinder's (who finished fifth) hand histories and publicly mentioned Payup as the fifth account, but didn't bother making all but a few hands of that donkament public because I was getting tired of obvious superuser accounts by then and it was obvious to everyone anyhow.

Sample HH from the tournament: the guy plays 90/80 for 4 hours, then gets AhKh up against 77 on a 7xx 2 heart flop and check/calls.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for the info. Is there any proof that this guy played his hands the same way he did as POTRIPPER when it came to opponents mid pocket pairs?

Won't the mass media lose interest in this story soon? And isn't AP very happy with the way they've come out so far in the media? They have little motivation to do much else at this point (other than player reimbursement).

I definately take you at your word. I only asked if he played opponents mid pocket pairs the same way as POTRIPPER because I wondered if it was the same person. I thought POTRIPPER played those hands in a unique style, while others might play them differently when viewing opponents hole cards.

Thanks for your hard work BTW.

adanthar,

idk, i think to me that hh looks more like a player knowing what was to come rather than a player knowing what another player had.
granted once he saw the flop, he played like he knew what the other player had, but if he knew the cards, and wanted to reduce variance and ensure that he would pick up the chips already in the middle, why wouldn't he just shove preflop rather than flat call and take a flop?

he cheated

I am not going through another 3 hours of HH's to satisfy random people over an issue that the site has already admitted to

ok? ok

edit: also, it helps here when you're a superuser and know that two eights aren't in the deck so 87 only has 4 outs

Just to make sure it's in this thread...

We have two obvious dumping accounts also.

Romnaldo and I think the other was Supercard55

That's at least 7 accounts involved in this elaborate "rogue geek" plan where he made no attempts apparently to cash out- only to prove a point.

Re: We haven\'t won yet: latest (10/19) cliff\'s notes on AP scandal
 
I dont see anything suspicious about the way that hand was played. But obv a decent player with 363 access would play most hands normally to avoid detection.

chill the [censored] out man.

i never insinuated that he didn't cheat. quite trying to prove [censored], i'm not some random person you need to prove [censored] to.

i was just commenting on the difference between his play and POTRIPPER's play in case it might be something else we can start looking for in other hh's.

ok?
christ.

southerndog 10-19-2007 09:37 PM

Re: Lie Harder
 

the sheets thing kind of throws a new wrinkle in it.. Before reading the MSNBC article, I felt that it almost seemed like Potripper wanted to get caught. The fact that the employee sent that excel file makes it even more suspicious.

Bottom line, I want a superuser account.

The MSNBC article stated that he never cashed out any money. So I'm supposed to believe over multiple months he cheated playing on at least 5 different accounts, dumped chips to two other accounts for no reason at all, and never cashed out.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttt

Edit: And, in the course of trying to hack the system, this rogue programmer played multiple "cover" tournaments (and cover cash game hands) so his cheating wouldn't be so obvious? All this not to cash out any money.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but none of their reasoning makes any sense. They knew the steamroller account belonged to Scott Tom and ignored it during their initial investigation, yet now they expect us to buy this rogue employee theory when the whole thing smells of a massive coverup.

[/ QUOTE ]

I googled "359.56 eur". Bunch of links come up saying that it's a phishing scam to get your username/password information that's been going on for years from people claiming to be moneybookers. Moneybrookers does NOT appear to be involved.

On the possibility that it's a coincidence, I'd contact MB support in case you do have free money .. But don't trust that link in the email. In fact, I bet if you view the email headers it'll show it's a fake, or if you hover over the link it won't show in your browser status bar that it's going to send you to where it says it will.

Re: Lie Harder
 
For anyone on the trail of Mr. Tom's likeness, a hot lead might be possible media coverage of Ultimate Poker Challenge III at The Plaza (11/05). Mr. Tom finished 17th and his brother 13th in that 10k event.

And at the very least, this confirms Andy Bloch knows what the guy looks like:

[ QUOTE ]

Andy Bloch knocks out Scott Tom
2005-11-28 16:55:56 EDT

On a board of 10c6c2s10s Andy Bloch moved all in and Scott Tom called all in for 35k. The players showed:


Scott Tom AA

Andy Bloch Jd10d


The river came a blank and Bloch took the pot with his trip 10's to eliminate Scott Tom in 17th place.
