    I'll post a detailed review of the ebook on my blog tomorrow. Stay tuned for that.

    I'm reading the preview right now. This quote is pretty telling: "I will not reveal my identity under any circumstances."

    I'd be interested in knowing how many people here received this email. Did everyone get it?

    Everyone and their mom here got the email? Where did this dude pull the data from? Oh here's a good guess where from...

    Want to hear my story?
    Alright. Here goes:

    I’ve been in this industry for longer than I can remember. For three solid years I worked
    as an Affiliate Manager for what was then a brand new poker room. During those years,
    the brand new poker room became one of the largest in its target region!

    Cool, well thanks for stealing their database of affiliates and then spamming your book to everyone. (ftl)

    Looking forward to the post Randy. My $20 is on this being a re-hashed version on PartyRiches.

    I didn't get the email, however looked at the preview. Randy, let me know if you do a review. I can't wait to read it. I actually almost bought the book for the same reason.

    Shady if they jacked the database and then spammed all of us.

    I imagine with a little back and forth, as well as what email it came to, a community of this size would be able to figure out pretty quick which programs database was jacked.

    I first suspected it came from here actually. Here or pokeraffiliateprograms.com. Only two places that have all of our emails.

    I'm not excusing anyone of anything just saying the evidence doesn't point to a whole bunch of people.

    And the only two ex-affiliate managers that I know of that dealt with a semi-regional poker room AND had access to most people's email address here....well I won't name names....but.

    Oh yeh I got the spam email too.
