Card Player and AP mess
I go back a long way. There was a time maybe ten years ago, when I remember some high end tournament players were stone busted for chip dumping and another that was caught bringing in chips (I'm not going to risk mis-identifying them). Not one of these ever saw the light of day in 'Card Player'. In that rag, poker is without flaw, because evey additional card player is $$$ for 'Card Player'. It's not too hard to imagine some of the other enterprises that have a big incentive to make poker look virginal.
So don't expect this AP BS to get much industry reportage. More likely it will get none. Which always makes me wonder just how much scum flies below the radar. |

The AP story has absolutely exploded over the web and will likely be getting some MSM coverage in the very near future as well. Also, ten years ago was ten years ago. Very different landscape now. |

Maybe it's burried in someone's blog, but I'd be quite surprised. As for MSM, you are likely overestimating the future coverage. |

Re: Card Player and AP mess
OP is talking specifically about CardPlayer magazine/website coverage of scandal.
While most every poker site has this as a major story, CP doesn't have this showing anywhere on the front page of the website. |

[/ QUOTE ] You are quite wrong. [/ QUOTE ] He might be right actually. Card Player's $$$ agenda aside, this story is big in the poker circle only because we all have a stake in it (and those who play at Absolute have an even bigger stake in it), but compare this to other 'news' and it's barely on the radar. Look at News site today and you'll see stories about a car bomb in Pakistan, a pervet getting caught in Thailand, the 2008 election...hell even Britney is getting front page articles in some cities. This Absolute story might, and that's a big might, get a few lines in the financial section if they're lucky. Sorry about being a Debbie Downer, but try thinking outside the box. Try thinking how many people outside the poker world care, or are even aware, of crap like the UIGEA? |
