Joe Sebok signs sponsorship deal with UltimateBet - Page 26 - Poker News

hand histories coming any day now.

Anyone remember those high limit triple draw games they used to have with the player School Bus sitting there all the time? I always wondered if those games were cheated and who School Bus was.

I also wonder if Hellmuth was cheated and if he got a refund. If he wasn't cheated I wonder why?

it was all about the CASH.

If it was all about the cash how come he still satellited into the recent Bellagio 15k event?

Will any of the players who were already refunded request full HHs to determine if they were refunded properly? Cada? Prahlad? etc
Or do they just not give a shiit anymore?

Does anyone know anyone who's requested and received any summaries or HHs as Sebok describes in his blog?

From today's (11/6) PokerRoad Radio (starting around 58:00):

Regarding split pots, apparently there were hands that were chopped that hadn't been accounted for correctly. This has now been taken care of, those players affected have been refunded. (Apparently this was involving hands with superusers)

163 players have requested summaries, 115 had played with superusers. 108 of the 163 requests have been sent out.

10 players have requested their hand histories, 4 have been sent out.

I dont understand why anyone would request summaries and not the whole hand historys? Seriously, they've screwed you over before and now you want to trust them to give you an accurate summary? Seems a bit ******ed imo.

Careus network is full of good players and apparently they don't agree with the loser that you are. The past cheating was the old past, as was someone's joke to give Hellmuth the pot he lost, and the small time booming for new players (about 40 s&g's), though there is still the problem of getting real cards after that but they sure will come at some point, though you will be losing the rest of your life to booming players until they don't take it from you after some while, but I didn't check that being busy elsewhere, but the huge amount of good players that they have months and years after years proves that everything is fine, and to 99.9% of players has always been.

Cereus has many skilled players and are not all losers like you claim. The cheating is the past along with the joke someone played on Hellmuth by giving him a pot he lost. Yes, there is a boomswitch (approximately 40 sit n gos), and after that you are card dead for a while but it evens out in the long run. However, there will always be the problem of losing to the new boomswitchers until they turn it off. I've been too busy lately to get to that point. The large amount of skilled players they have had year after year is proof that everything is fine there now and 99.9% of all the players agree.

It would be easier to cheat if you had access to the hole cards.

"The first order of business with my position at Ub has been to help aid in the release of not only ALL of the hand histories from the super-user scandal, but also the accounts that were used to perpetuate the scandal itself and the actual physical names of those individuals who we believe to have been directly involved in disparate ways with the actual cheating."

Haven't been following this lately. Any updates?

You failed to mention that the big UB banner got taken down after one day when I noticed it. I'm still waiting for them to deliver on their promises, although I did get my hand histories.

It's tough to balance things that link to Joe's personal stuff (blog and twitter tournament) now that he has a connection to UB and keep them separate from PokerRoad. We compromised that UB advertising would have to wait until we feel they have completed what Joe is asking for, in regard to the scandal.
