Some of the things that get lost in the UB scandal are the things that occured after. Phil H. get over 5,000 pot awarded when he loses? They say its a “software” glitch? How is this company in business? Who puts money on this site, and why?

As Joe Sebok sleeps soundly under a freshly made blanket of UB superuser hand histories…

Don’t worry, Dan. Keep on speaking out and UB will make you an offer to wear their gear that you can’t refuse. And with it, a slot on “Dancing With the Stars”!

Wow. those comments are amazing — especially on Russ Hamilton speaks out:

Everything I’ve ever seen, read or heard about Russ Hamilton
shows me he is a class act, a true gentleman, and someone you
can believe when he says anything important. Well, believe
everything he says except maybe when you’re playing against him
at the poker table.

Gary,
You have a very good “read” on Russ Hamilton. He is an awesome man, and truly
classy, generous, and fun-loving. The world could use more people like him.

Right you are, Gary. I went to Russ to ask his help in the fundraiser
for Kori and he was the first to step up and say “I’ll do it”. He now
is planning to do something for Jack Slatter, who needs the heart
transplant. He is one of the most honorable men I know and his word is
golden.
Happy Holidays Russ (H) as well as all of the rest of you, my fellow
RGPers.

The first WPT tournament in Aruba was set up as amateurs playing for $50,000 while 9 pros were playing for $250,000 with the winners playing each other for the $25k WPT Championship seat. Allegedly, the winner (Phil Gordon) got something less than $250,000. Negreanu was supposed to be one of the pros, but for reasons I don't believe he's ever said, decided not to take part. "Ultimate Scam" Daniel's comments from Dec. 2002 Russ Hamilton speaks out There was all sorts of discussion, someone with plenty of time on their hands would be better suited to digging through that mess.

BTW, I’m not familiar with Negreanu’s UB dissing back in 2002 … what was his problem with them then?

Yeow, some of the most intelligent Negreanu-isms ever.

A good reminder that we don’t OWE UB shit … sorry, just don’t … and I think he adds some sobreity to the Hellmuth competing poker-site hubbub.
