Chill Stuey. It is a gossip forum. Whether this, or any other source is legitimate is of less concern than the attitude you bring which limits what any legitimate poster might disclose. 2+2 can often take a condecending tone, and most people 'in-the-know' would rather not be bothered with such a vitriolic attitude. I guess when you have a sport where everyone naturally assumes they are the best player this is logical behaviour. [/ QUOTE ] I have no beef with you Rio. You have always delivered good stuff and have been a plus to this forum. I NEVER questioned whether the info that guy was putting out was valid. He just felt it necessary to use one of his first three posts to rip into another poster and I felt like using one of my 1400 posts to comment on his need to focus on his cred and not going after another poster because they questioned his bona fides. |

I just don't see, from Pokerstars' perspective, how they can do anything about it. It is my understanding that 2 accts were entered from his IP address, one his, and one his sister's. I don't see how they can prove that his sister didn't play, and he helped her after he busted out. There is no "one player to a hand" rule, so what grounds do they have?

[/ QUOTE ] It's ok. Post count not an indicator of credibility, nor a reason to attack other posters though. I'm a bit curious about this whole situation, I am getting no new information about the whole subject. Someone mentioned play2kill was playing stars. What stakes? I do have the sinking feeling now if his sister were 'cleared', that they would instruct Stars not to post anything further about the matter. I have yet to chat with anyone who is in baden, I seem to think there will be some gossip to escape from that event. |

[/ QUOTE ] chrisg820: [ QUOTE ] you should really give us more info then just saying that ud heard from "sources" because as the other poster said play2kill is playing 25/50nl now and if indeed there was multiaccounting with this account then u would think that stars would have banned this account. Either that or Stars is just trying to act like it didn't happen. [/ QUOTE ] I saw him playing also. gg |

Re: RE: Josh

Just an FYI - Josh Arieh confirms his 6th place finish in this interview: http://www.pokernews.com/news/2007/1...josh-arieh.htm [/ QUOTE ] Just a couple of quotes from Poker News article: [ QUOTE ] PN: '...the Bodog-sponsored Arieh prefers to spend time with family and online, but still surprises people in big events – sometimes in disguise .' JA: '...messageboards saying we were cheating... I am nitbuster. I finished sixth –...I was playing as 'ATL Angela,'...So then they let me change my name and I changed my name to Razorbax.I don't know how I got my name changed again, but I did...' [/ QUOTE ] Isn't Lee Jones advocating frequent name changes? Doesn't Stars restrict datamining and player databases? I guess that we can rely on Stars to protect our interests. It looks like the means to protect ourselves is being hampered. gg |

Re: RE: Josh
There's a ton of money at stake here, $673K, for ka$ino. He should demand an explanation from Stars, and if not satisfied, should sue Stars for the 1st place money. I think it's amazing that so much time has gone by without an official decision by Stars.
