Why does he always wear that logo? The site is useless, and has no actual content except a bio and some other useless crap.

Link: http://www.unabomberpoker.net

I noticed he got someone else (Boneta) to wear that patch also on this week's High Stakes Poker... what's the point?

On alexa the site ranks somewhere around 5,000,000, where that's like somewhere between 5-10 visitors per day, yet he keeps wearing that logo proudly. Is it because no site wants to sponsor him?

I played a guy claiming to be him on cake the other day, with the celebrity name unabomber, but he was very loose and spewy...I took him for 2k hu at 2-4, is this a brag or a beat?

This thread is so weird because I was just talking to someone yesterday night about his site and we were trying to guess how many users it has or how much it rakes a month. Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if it brings in a bit more than people in this thread assume, considering he's worn the patch on TV a ton of times and there have to be SOME people who just randomly go to it when they want to play online poker.

I tried to contact him through Twitter a few months ago when I first got curious about it, and was going to ask him via DM if he replied to me, but he never did so I will die curious. It is SO crazy, I really want to know this, for no reason, just to know the answer. If P.L. reads this (he reads NVG he has said a few times I think), please tell me haha.

I was always surprised noone sponsored him + Antonio, they are on TV sooo much. I do remember Antonio was sponsored by UB for a while, I played him HU there for 1.25 hours once at 100NL or something which I assume he had to put a certain amount of hours in at or something. That sponsorship didn't seem to last very long though. Don't know if Laak was ever sponsored by anyone, he has worn that patch for a long time on TV. Honestly the fact he wears it a lot, got that other guy on HSP to wear it, and he bothers to put in hours on Cake under his username, makes me think he probably makes SOME kind of money from it.

Just downloaded, 1.8k online vs 75k at Stars , highest games running atm are 3/6HU, there are about 20 people sitting at 5/10 and 10/20 waiting for action, and a few at 25/50.

Also some weird 8/16 HUNL?

Lobby is ok, but I hate how the tables have been done.

Well, it's a Cake skin, so what you're seeing is the whole Cake network, not his players.

This thread is so weird to me because I was saying last night how when I think about a properly done Cake Skin, the Unabomberpoker.com (or whatever the site is, I have never looked) skin is the way to do it. He probably spends zero on marketing and wears a patch whenever he's on TV. Who knows how many people he gets, or how big a cut of their rake Laak himself receives, but it's a hell of a lot smarter of a way to budget your skin than Victory Poker is.

I remember reading about Laak trying to buy poker rooms in Macau or something similar a few years ago. Suprised he doesn't advertize that instead.
