This is a bias that affected the tone of your "unbiased" post.

Good luck Admo

Probably should go into the category of conspiracy theory, but there is another link to Annie and Hunter. Annie twitted on June 9th "Movie of the day: Night of the Hunter. Robert Mitchum and Shelly Winters in a movie so creepy it will haunt your dreams. I promise!" (http://www.pokernews.com/online-poke...eDuke/?page=26)

The movie "Night of the Hunter" is about some guy who marries and murders widows for their money, and deals with trying to find out where the money is (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048424/plotsummary)

Again, probably nothing (and maybe already mentioned in this gargantuan thread) but thought it was worth mentioning.

somewhere earlier in this thread, it's mentioned that Nevada law doesn't allow a tourney to do that.

also, this event had UB all over it, a number of the celebrities were wearing UB patches & hellmuth was the MC for the duration of the time i was in the mtt.

admo a standup guy & deserves nothing but our support in this matter.


so many great posts in this thread, this being one of them.

johnny hughes, shut it down you con man and supporter of cheats and con-artists.

annie duke is a person who i thoroughly despise. i hope she reads 2+2 so she can see all the hate.

never let up the pressure on the thieving scum that is UB.

admo i support you

Usually I just lurk on two plus two, but I just want to say that after reading this thread Admo comes across really first rate. He definitely seems very principled and willing to be his own person.

On the other hand, I have felt for long time that Annie is a low quality person. This situation just confirms that.

Watching this on tv other day and seeing guys like Charles Barkley wearing UB on their shirt nearly made me vomit. How can people still promote a place after all the **** that happened there?

I highly doubt Charles Barkley knows anything about the UB cheating scandel.

Their finanical reports are posted on their web sites. They've explained the government matching funds that will multiply our donation to Darfur by 7.5 or 15 times, depending on the specific fund we give to. They've followed up many times and recommended books to read that align with their approach to tackling the Sudan crisis. One of the administrators at World Vision wrote to me in a handwritten letter that she is praying for God to give my wife and I wisdom in our decision, whether we end up giving to their charity or another. (World Vision is Christian based)

In contrast Ante Up For Africa doesn't seem that interested in another $50k if it comes with questions attached. They have been asked many times to account for the $2.6M they've collected from poker players over the past three years.

Is it a direct funnel to other charities or is there AUFA overhead involved? Of the money that gets funneled to other charities, what percentage goes to which? Is it for relief or advocacy efforts, ie. is the money used to house refugees in camps, to feed and clothe them, to return them back to their homes, or to pressure leaders, governments and nations into action? What measurable impact has the 2.6M had thus far? When money goes to other charities, is it specifically earmarked for Darfur or could it get lumped into a general fund and possibly used for other efforts? What are the administrative and fundraising costs of all charities involved?

I would encourage you (or anyone) to ask Ante Up For Africa these questions once, twice, whatever it takes. Many have tried. AUFA isn't talking.
i really think this is the aspect that should be concentrated on by admo and this thread.

as true as all the annie duke/organisors' behaviour may be, this whole personal thing - as exemplified in admo's last gif - really detracts from it. also the ub stuff; the tournament is organised by one of their 'top pro's' so the site was obviously going to be all over it, so why enter it all if the ub association is such a problem?

i understand now that the money is won, admo feels a moral obligation to make sure his donation is used in the best way possible, but all this personal(ity) stuff just makes it all a bit tawdry.

but don't get me wrong, if this unearths that AUFA isn't using its charitable proceeds as well as it can or should be then that's great. But only because it will result in more help getting to the people who need it - not because annie duke may be a flawed character.

lol @ Admo turning this around into an attack on a charity.

Admo should have donated the entire sum to another Darfur/sudan charity with the note "C/O Annie Duke"

Annie Duke is a worthless ****.

Which makes it even more repulsive. They pushing people to promote them that have no idea and if they did probably wouldn't do it.

What charity did Annie Duke donate to on the celebrity apprentice by the way, was it Ante up for Africa? And if it wasn't, why not??
