In Response To: an analysis of the AB hand history (Matt Cohn-Geier)

Re hand histories -- the only hole cards most hand histories show are your own and all hands shown down at your table. The Absolute Poker hand history that AP sent to the player who finished second was unusual -- it wasn't just his hand history but, reportedly, a complete history of the entire tournament with all hole cards shown. Why such a document was sent out and by whom is the subject of much speculation.

Latest news:

(1) The Hendon Mob's weekly poker news round-up comments intelligently on the Absolute Poker and PokerStars scandals. It relates allegations made recently elsewhere:

that the owner of the "Potripper" account that won the AP tourney belongs to "A J Green – former director of operations at Absolute Poker" and Scott Tom's "best friend."

that "[i]t also transpires that the IP address of the observer at Potripper’s tournament win can be traced back to Scott Tom...." officially the "former CEO of Absolute..." but who is "according to many people, not actually a former CEO at all but still very much involved with the company."

(2) PocketFives claims that Absolute Poker has admitted via telephone that "their systems were compromised" and is doing something about it and will make some kind of announcement about whatever it is they claim to be doing.
