If I said to you: "You might want to stop making ******ed posts. You and your family may things would would not want public." You would take that as a threat, because it is (for the purpose of this post). There's no way to misconstrue that. The whole tone of the text changed when he injected someone else in it. It also makes it incredibly hypocritical that he's crying on twitter now about OP "acting like a man".

Let's not forget UB sent out a goonsquad to camp out in front of Travis Makar's house at one point.
I concur...once he mentions his girlfriend it becomes a direct threat, as opposed to an indirect, hypothetical, rhetorical question like "Doesnt everyone have something they wouldnt want the public to know?" I think OP 100% did the right thing.

I also have to laugh at someone who tries to "talk like men" over Twitter. Sure email, txt and the like are acceptable forms of communication, however if you are going out of your way to make the point of being a "man", then you either talk face to face or over the phone where things like this cannot be misconstrued. Not to mention, somebody better tell Joe that his threat was absolutely on behalf of UB, if he works for them and represents them.

The fact that he is waiving their flag to the point of making one-off threats is just pathetic.

Yeah, thought I used the wrong lingo. Not the same genes is the point tho

The mentioning of the girlfriend is so far removed from handling it "like a man" that Joe should check to make sure he still is one because there's some serious doubt.

This thread is yet another reason I would never want to be popular in the poker world.

As much as poker has been promoted as a "top notch professional" attraction, more and more of the participants that represent said attraction, seem to be surfacing as the jerk off, degenerate pieces of shyte they really are.

Fathers/Mothers are supposed to be proud of their offspring...Barry, I'm sorry to see your name be trampled....wait..he's a step kid....nm

Is Sebok an example of another silver spoon fed rich kid failing in life?

I don't understand UB's new marketing campaign. I think it's a riff on Buckley's "It tastes awful. And It works." But I don't think it's very effective.

I understand that he is not Barry's biological son but when you are raised with morals and integity these behaviors are usually followed.

I think both Sebok and the OP come out looking like clowns from this. Obviously Sebok for sending threats and being unprofessional and the OP looks like a cry baby running to tattle on someone. Lol@them both

What place could there possibly be for a company that stole, cheated and then lied and covered it up?

How can anyone who has any interest in the future of online poker and a fair and honest game ever make a statement like this. When you say there is still a place for UB in the marketplace after what they have done you are essentially saying, 'if any other online poker sites are considering stealing from their customers also, feel free, you too will be forgiven and will always be welcome in the marketplace.'

The only message that the online community should be sending is that 'if you even think about stealing from your customers like UB did, you will be shamed out of business the same as UB were.' The fact that UB is somehow still dealing poker hands to this day at all is truly a shame.

are you kidding? you think the op's reason for posting this is to "tattle" on somebody? anytime you can expose ub or any rep of ub for being shady, you do that. Sebock clearly is feeling the pressure as of late and is resorting to talking crap about a guy 's gf that he doesnt even know.that alone is enough to get smacked.sebock is a wealsely little punk that deserves any negativity that befalls him.

Am I the only one involuntarily inserting mental "bro"s into Sebok's tweets?
