Schneids,

Try to have a laugh, it will make you feel a little better.

Amusing that when I was watching the WSOP last night, a lot of AP ads on there (not that I would have expected it to change). The site's got enough national exposure that I would hope this story could have some legs.

You thought about hollering at Gary Wise? His connects with ESPN might render things interesting.

I was playing B&M last night and they had this on. It seemed AP had an ad on at every break. It's a shame virtually anyone that responds to those ads would be clueless as to what a sleazy operation AP is.

Interestingly enough, i'd hope the laughably shoddy production values and all around lolness of those commercials gives people a good idea of just how sleazy AP is. Unless they have new commercials in the past few months those things are absolutely tragic, especially when sandwiched between a stars and FT commercial.

I wouldn't say the new AP commercials are tragic, but they're nothing close to the polished stuff from Stars and FT. Also FT and Stars have like real players and AP has a guy named Dan and a nameless hot chick.

congrats guys, 2+2 made the NY Times. Sort of. He doesn't give 2+2 credit, but the links are provided to your thread.

TT,

As far as I know, Dean doesn't work with Levitt any more. I don't even really think they talk much these days. I do work with Levitt now, but I haven't discussed the AP issue with him at all, since he was out of the country when the story broke, and has been too busy to chat poker since returning.

edit: though, that does appear to be dean's blog, so yeah, it looks like Dean probably emailed him. FWIW, a good chunk of the work Dean used to "do" and I now do focuses on catching cheaters in poker games.

I didnt know Dean is no longer working with Levit, and to be honest i forgot that i heard you were working with him now (sorry - you deserve credit!). Tell us a little bit about your work with him, this is interesting.
