Hey Jen, check it out … Pauly has some interesting thoughts on the matter:
If you play online poker (especially if you are one of the blind fools still playing on UB), it\’s in everyone\’s best interest to spread the word on this important thread…

One of the more interesting things to me, however, is a comment from Change100:
Funny, how on the day you post about the UB cheating scandal, Card Player.com is running these two headlines:
\”Absolute Poker Offering Up to 100% Reload Bonus\”
and
\”Ultimate Bet RAI$E Program Gives Money for Points\”
Duly noted. And that, dear readers, is something to keep in mind as you follow the WSOP on the internet this summer. We know your company internet time is limited, after all … and though we \”professional\” bloggers don\’t have nearly the resources of the big-boy poker media, you can probably trust us more not to greedily lead you astray.
Though we make our livings, too, covering poker, it was only a few years ago that we made virtually no money whatsoever … we did it just for funsies and booze/tax deductions … and because of these faint but not-too-distant memories, it\’s a little easier for the independent bloggers out here to be semi-principled and give you coverage not driven by the pursuit of potentially dirty cash. Drugs and hookers notwithstanding, of course.
