OP does not have a real problem here, he was not threatened, he was simply needled at best and is throwing a little tantrum using big words like "threatened" and "propoganda" which simple aren't appropriate...

You can't blackmail anyone like Sebok did. Complete douche move on his part no question. He has to understand that could go public and he looks really bad on this.

OP on the other hand looks just as bad by asking for sympathy from 2+2 forum because he knows he will get the support from this group since he comes across like he can't fight his own battles. Be a man and deal with this privately. If you really feel threatened by Sebok go to the police instead.
What would the police do at that point? The threats have to escalate to a considerable degree before the police are going to help you. What you are saying is he should keep it private and allow Joe to continue threatening him because that's the manly thing to do?

Its 2011 people come out of your damn caves and accept the reality of living in a CIVILIZED SOCIETY not a burnt out ghetto or a jailhouse.

also, hello Joe or Joe's (probably paid) acquaintance.

Fortunately you don't get to decide what is appropriate or not.

Quoting for most accurate summation of this cluster****.

And now we have these two loudmouth bigshots, Joe and Prahlad, going around declaring that everyone in poker is corrupt. No, guys, it's just the scummy company that you chose to represent that is coloring your poker-worldview.

Shameful.
One question, one point:

Q: How much do you think these endorsement deals are worth to big names like Prahlad and Joe in real $ terms that they have to defend ub at all costs. As a professional who is not sponsored, I'm just curious how much you think (given your stance) these deals are worth in real $ terms (buy ins, etc) such that they go to such extremes? Care to guesstimate a range based on your perception?

Point: I think people seem to be overlooking and or forgetting the essence that Ike blatantly played Prahlad on an unknown account with the full knowledge that Prah didn't want to play him. Obviously this is Ike's "right," but please don't make Ike out to be any sort of saint here, he is just as money hungry as the next poker player. Praising him for his ethics is downright laughable. Of course I agree with everyone else that the way Prah went about the accusation was terribad (ie twitter, etc.). One last thing, did I misinterpret that Prah literally saw Ike in person and asked if he was playing and Ike responded with "umm..." or did i read that wrong. If so lol@ike and I'd really like to see a photoshop of that encounter...

cliffs: ike exploited the rules just like he "should," prah was right to think he was playing ike and Noah's analysis of the stats seems inconclusive at best (given that he WAS playing ike--in other words, Prah knew something the stats apparently didn't suggest?), and prah shouldn't have called out anyone via the twitter war.

ps. as everyone knows i'm as disgusted as anyone with ub and although prah was one of my heroes he lost some luster in my eyes when he signed with them and in this latest fiasco.

Honestly, I don't have a side in this whole thing, but you gotta understand that the term "propaganda" isn't reserved for war times and national emergencies. IF someone was to slander someone by telling lies to a million people in the hopes of harming said person, then that would be a perfect example of propaganda.

I think everyone realizes there are people out there with bigger problems...isn't really relevant though.

LOL i will listen to and respect opinions but only if they come from someone who isn't completely self absorbed.

Your dad was the one with the problem dude. gl though

EDIT: Besides your argument has nothing to do with the issue at hand. Declaring that there are bigger problems in the world merely sweeps the issue under the rug - it does nothing to solve it

op you sound like a pussy(cat).
whether you like UB or not, there are still people who play there that you could be offending.
since sebok, who i don't like/dislike reps the site, he should defend himself/UB in any way he can. you make it sound like he knocked on your door looking for trouble. keep your mouth shut next time and you won't have to be blackmailed/intimidated. pussy(cat)

Good for you. The rest of the community has a very negative opinion about sebok and he deserves all the heat/hate he gets. That comes with the territory of not only repping a cheating site but now it appears hes HELPING with the cover up.

Hes also a complete moron for saying this on the internet, had he "man'd" up and done this in person or on the phone he would have avoided this drama bomb.

**** joe sebok.

lol wtf is this??

Just so you know, advocating that he doesn't say anything negative about UB cause it may offend people who play there is pretty much the definition of a pussy suggestion.

You're both right, OP should rise up and start a revolution and take action against JS with the powerful weapon of the masses...

Wait what are we talking about here???? oh, that's right, we are talking about a little spat amongst poker players....



Do you know what words mean? and what context is? and what appropriate is????
