One idea that someone had was to target people specifically using Absolute Poker.

One possibility is advertising on search engines on results related to Absolute Poker. I looked into this, and generated a list of key words that related to absolutepoker.com (don't have the list handy, but I'm sure I can find it/recreate it)

Obviously this would cost money, so I'm not sure how this would work.

Regarding the mysterious name in the file. Did someone look at the (older) file some other guy claimed to have gotten from absolute way earlier? Would be interesting if its the same name.

holy sh*t. And I say that knowing it was rigged. I really think ip addy's shouldn't be released or shown to too many people nat since that info being free for all the players in the tourney is really bad news bears.

I will wear a shirt at foxwoods about this if they're made.

This is amazing...

I have been taking all of this in over the last 24 hours and I am blown away by it all, and hugely impressed by the effort you are all putting into piecing this debacle together.

In my view it every effort should be made to encourage the mainstream media to cover the story. This would force Absolute to take responsibility for what has happened. The alternative is that this whole issue will blow over with only a handful of people knowing the full magnitude of what has happened. That would be a damn shame.

The difficulty is that all the information that I have come across is embedded in threads on forums etc, and drenched in poker 'culture' and jargon. I have been playing online poker regularly for a year or so and it took me well over an hour to get a clear understanding of what has happened. The average casual poker player or non-player just won't bother.

I think the best way to encourage the recognition of the mainstream media would be for someone with a media / PR / marketing bent to put together a one or two page summary of the whole situation that is easily digestible by the layperson who may only have a passing knowledge of poker. It would summarise the main points without jargon, but not be so superficial that it would be written off as a conspiracy theory. Presentation will be key. It would provide links to all the key sources for anyone who wanted to take this further. Then this summary document can be distributed widely. When one well respected newspaper picks it up, the story will spread from there.

Another shortcut to mainstream recognition would be for a well know poker player to take up the cause.

I would rather we work to have AP take responsibility and identify those involved directly, using the media as a last resort. AP is already feeling the heat and has agreed to work w/ our crack investigative team to get to the bottom of this. I don't want "online poker is rigged" stories scaring away my customers any more than they do already. But it's a free country and I'm sure this will make plenty of news anyway.
