Bump for an interesting read.

Quote:
Though the money involved may not seem like much, the brainwashdodo episode deserves a historical footnote. It will likely go down as the first time that a poker forum (2+2) was itself used as a tool of blackmail. Such a revelation should be of interest to 2+2's owners and to interested followers throughout the poker world.

Just keep in mind the source. Haley writes her opinions and passes them off as facts, with little to no verification of anything she writes.

"What is 7+6"

(search that on her blog)

I believe her.

Besides, her record thus far in reporting the AP/UB stuff has been perfect.

Everything has made sense and matched up properly with existing information.

I also thought there was a good chance brainwashdodo was trying to blackmail AP/UB. He had way too much concern and was taking far too much risk for just a customer service guy trying to be helpful.

Im just saying she is opinionated and turns "facts" to support what she belives. Find the post about me. She makes comments as fact that are just wrong and innacurate. I know your history with Ap/UB, and while what she says might be accurate, considering her history and use of opinion as set in stone fact, i cant read anything she writes at face value.

Why don't you find those posts and then tell us what's incorrect about them? Seems like the best way to prove your claim.

I looked for her post about you and all I found was this apology........

Quote:
A Major Apology Here: The stuff I said about young toolboxes at the tables still stands, but a major apology here by me. It wasn't Elie Doft. It was some imitator using the handle "What is 7+6", whereas Elie uses "What is 7x6". I didn't pick up on the difference. Elie also thought I was attacking Mickey, but I wasn't; Mickey's one of the hardest, best live workers I've seen in the poker world. Meanwhile, Elie apparently has a toolbox using a variation of his screen name, ad homage.)

I won't say much more than this, but I can tell you that most of that information that haley has right now is quite accurate. And some interesting things with UB may be occuring over the next few months. I would be willing to put my reputation on it.

Cliffs notes:

The UB refund of $22 million was approximately "correct" in that it represented the total amount won by the superusers, but UB couldn't figure out how to properly compensate each individual user.

Basically, they couldn't come up with a method to do so accurately, since there were so many factors involved.

Hayley doesn't list these, but I imagine them to be:

- Superusers folding in otherwise profitable situations for the victim, such as set-over-set

- The reverse occurring (superuser has better hand where both would get it all in no matter what), where the victim gets compensated for "losses" that would have occurred anyway

- Superusers run victim off of hand he would have ultimately won

- Superusers win additional money from the pot that would have otherwise gone to victim, had superuser not been able to see victim's cards. (For example, victim would have won SB and BB, but superuser runs victim off the hand, and wins both the victim's money AND the SB/BB. In this case, the victim only gets back his own money lost.)

- In the reverse of the above, the SB and BB, who would have folded anyway, get their money back.


Anyway, Hayley's point is that the refunds will never be accurate. Some players will be overcompensated, and some will be undercompensated.

In my opinion, this underscores the need for UB to have overcompensated EVERYONE in order to make up for this.

Todd : As an aside to the above have you been able to digest your sent hand histories yet and when do you expect to be sending them back with analysis ? Thanks

Hi, gang,

I promised Druff and Micon I'd stop in from time to time to answer questions related to those things I've already blogged about. I'll be doing plenty more on the UB and AP scandals in the days, weeks and months ahead, too, so I'm sure there'll be plenty of new topics as well.

Haley,

Good work, but I am just wondering your motivation for this level of investigative journalism. Obviously we all want a resolution but are you hoping for more work as a result of it or taking advantage of the future hits on your blog for extra work? Taking all of this on would be fine but surely not at the expense of your other income?

A lot of what you say is opinion, whilst very good and proven to be correct over time it is more journalistic than factual (based on unconfirmed anonymous information).

I view it as similar to the Watergate reporting where much of it was a bit woolly in terms of hard evidence but not far from the truth as snippets of information are made known to you that point to the logical truth.

I hope you either facilitate or get sent that crucial breakthrough.

Hayely, welcome to DonkDown!

I will be giving you the well-deserved "DD Real Media" rank.

What does it appear that brainwashdodo was holding back when he blackmailed UB/AP?

The information he released implicated Russ Hamilton and cast some suspicion on others, including Freddy Deeb.

By this point, it was already a foregone conclusion that cheating had occurred.

Was he asking for money in order to protect those that hadn't been thrown under the bus yet?
