Haley's Poker Bl-Auggh!!

Here's a great back story on Schiavio surrounding his dealings with the WSOP domain and Binion’s, which of course ties into the scandal as well as your blog post.

I couldn't seem to find the post on Haley's site, so I had to dig the archives to pull it up.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. In fact, it would explain a lot of what we're seeing from the affiliate side of things.

Thankya, I added that link

I figured that might have been useful to you. It seems that she has taken those articles down. Haley had shopped that story to several news outlets and no one would touch them, so she self-published.

Nope I found them, I linked to the actual articles in my post I think. . I wasn't entirely sure where they began, but I think I got there.

If anyone has been following that 2+2 thread, there's some pretty damning evidence of cheating and suspicious activity. The site, it's representatives, shady owners with shady histories and everything else just seems like the perfect ingredients for a scam.

These guys are actively contacting me to try and promote them. I hope if anyone here was promoting them in the past that they've removed them from their sites as this thing is pretty much a carbon copy of the AP/UB scandal albeit at lower stakes.

I just can't believe that there are people who think they can work like this and not be caught.. i really hope it's not that bad as people say..

I believe it really is that bad. This certainly isn't your typical online poker site is rigged accusation. The circumstantial evidence looks very bad and Pitbull's silence and refusal to provide hand histories appears very damning. If you have nothing to hide I see no reason not to defend yourself as important as reputation is and should be in this industry.

The ironic part is there are poker players who with inside hole card information are smart enough to cheat and never be caught. The players who could do so are smart enough to not have to cheat to win though. The ones who have cheated with that kind of information at UB/ABS and possibly Pitbull on the other hand are to stupid and greedy not to eventually be caught.
