There's nothing shady about that Party Poker tournament. It's just your standard "Winner take two thirds, Runner-up take one third tournament." It just rolls off the tongue. Future WSOP event?

Well, it resolves one small aspect of the story, but I know what you meant.

I don't see how they could have made an error during the original investigation. When they're only looking at the...

Thanks for the support and the link!

I received the below email from Bill on Monday which is a complete 180 from the excuse they gave me nearly 6 weeks ago as to why I wouldn't be reimbursed. ...

After discussing this with the poker community on 2+2 and giving the issue some more thought, I've come to realize that the greatest deterrent of cheating would be to hold the cheaters more...

I'm glad we're mostly on the same page, but the response time was terrible. Cheaters should be stopped as soon as possible to prevent honest players from suffering losses. If site A is capable of...

I forgot to mention that Bill Rini was involved and aware of the support team's response to me as evident in his post on my thread on 2+2 when he stated "So you know: 2. What your financial...

Good points and analogy Todd. It's all too common these days for a company to place blame on a 3rd party which they are responsible for hiring. With a little goading to the proper person in the...

Steve-O, thank you for the article, but there are some major points that need to be edited.
You stated:

They didn't handle the situation promptly. After I first reported the colluders, they were...

Hi Todd, this is the OP in the 2+2 thread. Thanks for posting this and talking with Seth about these issues.

I appreciate that Seth Palansky was willing to discuss these matters with you. I...
