Remember that not everybody who brings a suit to court does so with the intention or expectation of winning a judgement. They may hope that the cost of mounting a defence will deter the respondant from defending. It is sort of like a big stack bullying a short stack, hoping the short stack will not call.

Alternatively, Seif may think that his reputation is so badly damaged that the only hope he has is to mount a civil suit, despite the noted problems for AP. Perhaps so much of his rep is already in the pot that he is calling the turn all-in, hoping to hit his one-outer.

I think Dan Druff has enough money to fight this off. Also, if he doesn't, I'd donate to his defense fund.

me too even though i'm one of the few people here who support and believe seif.

one of the worst things for a pro poker player is to be accused of being a cheater. imagine what it would be like sitting at every table wondering who got the story completely screwed up and thinks you are scum of the earth when in reality you did nothing wrong
