When trambopoline presented initial evidence about the UB scandal he had a huge number of haters. It is entertaining drama to reread the thread, http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19...-nionio-98445/, and watch how he deals with the detractors.

Any thoughts on Eric Seidel in the pic posted above?









What if we learn the Chinese woman from the Punto Banco incident has given Phil massages at the poker table?

What is there to think about? It's pretty obvious.

Masseuse probably has her head sticking up above the table cause she doesn't want to have pictures or video taken of her rubbing some guy on her knees with her head under the table and think she's "that kind" of masseuse.

Seidel looks a bit uncomfortable and is using his arm to separate him from what's going on with Ivey. Seidel's played a lot of poker in a lot of different places. He's probably been in a similar position with a different "that kind" of masseuse which had traumatized him. He's afraid if he glances over and accidentally sees Ivey's junk it's going to be weird later in the day when they grab a bite to eat during a break. It's going to make him feel too uncomfortable to grab a couple of fries off Ivey's plate. That would really suck because Seidel really loves fries but only 2 of them not a whole plate.

On a serious note....

All of Seidel's chips, bottle, arm are set up in a way so that anyone to his right won't see his hole cards. But then again, only person to his left is the dealer.

She reminds me of the kids that got caught with the camera up the sleeve so that they could get low to the table to film the cards being dealt. Then they slowed the film down in a van nearby and relayed the info back to the table via an earpiece. http://tvnz.co.nz/content/960713/4042040.xhtml

Depending on the dealers particular technique and ms. masseuse's skill, she could probably relay a reasonable amount of info to Phil.




Haha I can totally see Seidel (or Chainsaw) coming up on those 2 or 3 free fries on people all the time

I find it hard to imagine how potentially seeing an occasional card could be successfully relayed into meaningful info by the leg signalling technique.

Cards are being riffled around the table, and she somehow randomly spots one, she gives him the high hard one to signify paint but also has to let him know what seat she is referring to and then she would have to hope to see another card and remember if it was time for the claw, the fist or a different seat altogether.

Ivey has none of the class that the bootlickers of the past who anointed him a messiah-like figure made him out to be.

+1000. Forgot about that. Look at this nugget:

I bet you're one of those guys who tries to win EVERY SINGLE POT all the time, and then complains when you run into aces saying "oh thats such a huge cooler"

Thanks for posting. You nailed it right on the head. I don't want to get too deep, yet life is just like this. You have an idea that you want to see through, so you tell people about it and start the work involved only to be bludgeoned with negativity and obstacles.



Now let's get back to Phil's witch hunt.

Daily Mail fail.

Whatever you think of the Mail, or of the accusations, I believe this is the same dude who is facing insider trading charges.

The irony in this is utterly immense.

It is - it says so at the bottom of the Mail's article, I knew I recognised the name.
