I made a post in the NVG thread giving 2:1 odds offering a bet that he wouldnt come on the show. Nobody took me up on it, what a shame.

From his perspective that's the best interview Russ could have given.

Well played nvtease... well played.

I mean Russ. So hard to keep it all straight with everyone living at everyone else's house and all.

Seriously who didn't see this one coming? Why would he even go on the show in the first place?

Why would they stream it live? They have to edit it... I mean they want to edit it... streaming it live they would lose control of their ability to "edit"

P.S. How come Greg Raymer has not made a single coment/suggestion in either the Ub scandal or the Ap scandal ( I could be wrong about the AP one cause I didn't follow it closely....but I have followed the UB one)....I mean Aren't these guys always on the air going ON AND ON about the Poker Players Alliance or some other bulllll****.....Where's the fu**** PPA to help with this mess???.......At the very least (given his leagla experties ( even though he's only a patent attorney) He could provide some knowledge about how to go about finding certain info about companies...i.e who owns UB etc. etc...Those patent attorneys tend to be pretty good at finding info...
The only "big names" that I have seen post on the thread are either vouching for UB reps, interested in whether they were cheated or clearing their own name. Hell Daniel N. is apparently more interested in Raptor's rant then the UB mess. He has an opinion on everything, but not on this?

I think the feeling is they just want it to go away. On-line poker is going to be hurt no matter what, but I think it is very short sighted to hope the story stays small or react if it does blow up after 60 minutes.

For me personally if the only consequences of owners/operators of these sites stealing money is they have to pay at least some of it back that is not good enough. I doubt I will ever make another deposit.

I feel the same way.

Why doesn't someone affected approach a law firm about a class action law suit against UB and it's owners/representatvies. I'd think a greedy law firm would be drooling over this opportunity.

We don't edit anything out. We "edit" in our commercials and put everything in the right order.

To stream a show live on a very limited internet connection from the floor of a poker tournament is just not practical.

Daniel N. posted in his blog regarding working with UB.

"I considered it, but chose to go a different way because I wasn't all that comfortable with some of the people I heard may be involved with the company."

There has been a ton of buzz surrounding the UB scandal recently and while I haven't paid a lot of attention to the whole deal I did listen to a bit of Annie Duke's interview on PokerRoad Radio.
She was explaining a bit about how the company worked and who is most likely at fault. It seems pretty clear, to me anyway, that the new owners are the losers in all this, hoping to buy a legit company and make things better. Have to feel a bit bad for them.
From the same blog. Glad to see he is letting Annie educate him on the subject.

I'm a well known high-stakes player and regular poster here but I am posting this on a dumby account just to be on the safe side.

Everything I have heard about Russ Hamilton (2nd hand) implies he is a total scumbag.

He is an ex-bookie who most is likly in bed with organized crime.

He also owns the ultimate blackjack tour. The UBT has been losing a lot of money and may be a key reason why Russ decided to steal from UBs players.

Anyone who plays on Ultimatebet/Absoulte or the ultimate blackjack tour espically those who promote Absoulte/UB from this point on are total scum as far as I am concerned and are basically aiding in fleecing customers and are basically supporting organized crime.

I will no longer be playing in any tournament UB or Absoulte sponsers and will encourage all the poker pros I know to do the same.

This show was great because of Barry. Also the lack of Gavin, but Barry really shines.

Barry + Huff for one hour a week would instantly be the best show on the internet
