Mark Seif responds 1/11/07. Most amusing!

Your analogies are bad. He doesn't have a one-outer. He's drawing dead.

Is Seif on drugs?

For his sake I hope so, otherwise there is no explanation for the strategy behind his communiques beyond a clear attempt to whitewash everything.

I mean, WTF, he would be better served by remaining silent until the so-called audit reached a conclusion. What's that line again? It is better to be thought a fool than to opening ones mouth and remove all doubt.

Obviously his ego is grossly inflated and cannot handle the constants attacks on his character without punching in with what he hopes, incorrectly I might add, is the proverbial last word.

Precisely the character type of someone who might have a brief lapse of good judgment and resort to cheating in an fool-hearted attempt to protect the ego. "Oh yeah, you think you're so good and I'm so terrible? I'll show you whose boss around here. Who's laughing now?"

That what some people thought about OJ. I've seen enough wrongful convictions, ridiculous acquitals, and questionable judgements that I just don't believe that a hand is dead when playing at the courts, until the judge says it is.

I'm glad you brought up OJ. Although he wasn't convicted, he lost the civil suit, and became an abomination in the eyes of the public. Now, look what's become of him. The same fate awaits Mark Seif.

[DoTheMath]

Yes, it is even possible to win the court case and still lose. Ever read "QB VII"?

If I were Mr. Seif, this would be my statement (Mark, I'm available if you are looking for a public relations consultant).

Hello Poker Community,

This is A Safe Mark, professional online poker player at Absolute Poker.

The last few days have been very trying for everyone affected by what has happened at Absolute Poker.

In light of the whirlwind of information, much of which is factually incorrect, I thought I would chime in briefly with what I know on the subject.

Absolute's security appears to have been compromised and certain users given the ability to view opponents hole cards. I will not belittle your intelligence by explaining why this development is very disconcerting for all involved with online poker. Absolute has assured me that individuals who lost money on account of this egregious crime will be refunded 100% of their losses.

Absolute and I made a few mistakes while this situation was initially surfacing.

In an effort to inform the poker community about the emerging proof of cheating, Absolute made the mistake of releasing statements based on incomplete information. Please understand that at the time the situation was very fluid and, frankly, very chaotic. Information and allegations were coming in from numerous sources, some trusted some not. We now know that some of the information we once thought to be accurate was in fact completely false.

I made the mistake of allowing my blog to be a conduit of inaccurate information. I have no one but myself to blame and for that I would like to express my sincerest apologies to everyone involved and especially for all who were directly affected.

I want the online poker community to know that I will do everything in my power to ensure that the facts of this situation are brought to light and see that the guilty parties face swift justice. I also want you to know that I will also be organizing a committee of qualified individuals from inside and outside the poker community to deliberate on how all of this may have occurred, what safe guards should have been in place to prevent it from happening and what Absolute Poker must do to be 100% certain that this can never happened again. We will present our findings to Absolute and demand that they are instituted.

Again I want to extend my sincerest apologies to those who have felt the financial brunt of this terrible situation and to everyone in the poker community for initially reporting inaccurate information.

Going forward I ask that you exercise patience. Myself, and likely Absolute as well, will only release information when it is 100% factually accurate.

Thank You,

A Safe Mark
