Yeh, you arent really telling us anything they havent, to be fair. What you are saying is true but so long as they arent hiding anything, its more Caveat Emptor then anything else.

this tournament has been well publicised on this forum from a long time back, its legit! there is probably a thread here somewhere about the international poker open or whatever its technically being called! everything is explained in that.

I love the thread title. I can imagine Stephen, as the prophet of Mermaid preaching from a pulpit, hoing to deceive us all.

Also, to the OP, there is a handy little rhyme that I like. i before the e, except after the c (I know there are caveatsto this , but meh).

Jesus man have you been living under a rock!? As Lloyd said the answers are all around you, meaning read boards once and a while and you would know what the story is before you start making accusations about deceit.........:mad:

what a ****ing let down. I was hoping for some good scandle in this thread, expecting a 4 or 5 page drama thread when i came back later.

Instead i get some retard telling spouting about something everyone already knows.
