Don't know, but it's interesting how they communicate in no way, shape, or form with their readership. Not here, not Facebook, not anywhere !

They still run ads for other offshore sites. I checked with a friend in NJ...they even run those there.

Banners are down in New Hampshire.

My post wasn't directed towards you, it was directed towards the other guy

Thanks. They've now down everyone.

I posted the following on their Facebook page to see if we could get any comment from them on what has happened here....if this is permanent etc...etc...

Hi, I (ZenForest on 2+2 / @NEPTpoker on twitter) am the person who started the 2+2 thread requesting CardPlayer remove all advertising related to Lock Poker. Its great to see them finally absent from your pages, and to know no additional players will be deceived by them thru Card Player Advertisements. Hopefully this is a permanent solution, at least until such time that all players owed money are paid in full. Can card player make any comment on what has gone on here ? Thanks.

.........and Card Player deleted the post/comment from their Facebook Page.

can someone explain to me why you care more about this than you do about Sheldon Aldeson. it makes me sick when i see someone selling a package for the venetian in the market place.

For me, its not caring MORE about one vs. the other, as I care about both.

The thing about Card Player tho, was they were accepting money from a company advertising a web site that has been screwing Poker Players out of money. They were giving Lock exposure to new poker players, to defraud them out of money.

Just wrong on so many levels, and I think most would agree.

And this is a thread about Card Player accepting advertising from a fraudulent Poker Site, not a thread about Sheldon Adelson.

This is such a pointless argument.

You can always find something worse than what a thread/debate/argument is about and go "oh why not care about this instead".

Can someone explain to me why you care more about Sheldon Aldeson than you do about the Syrian civil war?

2-3 years of accepting advertising money from a company that was defrauding players out money. The harm has been done and there's no coming back from that imo. Pretty sure hellmuth owns a piece of card player media, pretty sure he was aware of what was going on with lock poker just as he was aware of the nionio incidents on ultimate bet (high stakes pro from New York LOLOLOL). There's truly no excuse for hellmuth acting like an ostrich every time one of his companies is involved in a scam, but we keep seeing that this guy along with many others in the poker community have no morals at all and don't care. I'm so disgusted in the poker community as a whole right now.

Exactly. Sheldon Aldeson could be the cause of the Syria war and we still couldn't do anything about. Getting a magazine to pull an advertiser is well within the realm of potential success.

Glad to hear the less informed poker players have one less land mine to avoid.

This post is from exactly two months ago. Cardplayer dropped Lock right before the Shulmans had to face the poker community at the WSOP. Just like we predicted would happen last year with Lock pros and this year with Cardplayer. File this under way too little and way too late.

My bad Chopsy, I thought that post directed at me.

AT WSOP last weak, Ari Engel called out Barry Shulman for accepting lock money. Barry got the dealer to issue a warning not to talk to him.

Congratulations to card player and barry shulman for honoring their contract to lock so they could help lock steal more money from poker players though it was obvious at the time they where running adds for lock that lock was not processing payments to players for a long time.

yep

good, this thread should be bumped on a weekly basis as a reminder. they haven't received nearly enough flak for this.

The whole table needs to berate him, they don't need to talk to him directly.

You can catch Barry SHILLman with his wife tooling around low buyin tournaments just waiting for someone to recognize them. You can easily spot them from afar because they wear clothing that makes them look like fishing lures. Especially his wife.

SHILLman be all about that Louie the XIV inspired yolo Lock money good life.
