Very few things raise my blood pressure but this one did the trick.
If you remember back to the imawhiner video challenging Dabeear to a HU match,
thetony (me!) and
johnnybignuts (no clue if he's a 2+2er or not) basically outlined an idea for a private tournament for pokertubers, the password to be posted behind one of Bear's videos or whatever.
What we had discussed is a 10+1 at Stars or FTP, double-stack full ring NLHE. BigNuts took responsibility for setting it up and reached out to Pokertube to see about getting the game advertised on their main page. They told him they'd do that, set it up themselves, plus add a little money to the pot and we thought it was a done deal.
Now they're advertising this DaBeear headhunt, a transparent attempt at gathering some referral bonuses, and leaving those of us who were planning the tournament in the wind.
Incidentally, they chose a site that's not even open to US players (which means even if we still wanted to, JBN and I couldn't play).
If they had told us flat out this is what they were going to do we just would have gone ahead with our own idea. But now that they've made a mockery of the whole thing, it doesn't even seem like it's worth pursuing.
What a lousy bunch of bastards.
