Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6355370, member: 407846"] Watched the Doug Polk and Joey Ingram breakdown after the Kenney interview and of course they brought some sanity to the day. That said, a little disappointing as only Joey walked up to the line of calling GG Poker out for complicity a couple of times but then did little to underline it. No discussion about members using VPNs to access the site as so many evidently were. All was discussed as though GG was legal within the US market. It wasn’t and it still is not in the majority of states. Then on to the DAT podcast with Adam Schwartz, Terrance Chan and Daniel Negreanu to discuss the cheating allegations. Terrance Chan made the best point regarding a poker blacklist as Daniel was sort of arguing it was tricky. No not really. Casinos refuse service, ban people, who they suspect are card counting at blackjack. They reserve the right to do without proof, and even though card counting is not a crime. Yet they can’t agree to telling suspect poker players they do not want their business? As wryly predicted above, Negreanu knows nothing about the scams or cheating at GG Poker. He’s never seen a GG list of banned players He admitted hearing the rumors about Imsirovic and Schindler but because his profile is so big, he can’t throw rumors around for fear of getting sued. Yet confusingly he admitted to previously bigging both of them up. Regarding Bryn Kenney, he maintains he knew nothing, absolutely nothing about any of his shenanigans. But, the most disappointing thing of all, not a single mention (once again) of exactly how all these US residents were playing on GG Poker. That is not to be touched with a barge pole at this point. Such a key industry player we’ll completely skirt the idea of laying blame at their feet? Extremely disappointing because at this point it is evident there was a culture of allowing any number of dubious practices to take place on the site. Again, to be clear, GG is currently my favorite site and I do not wish them ill. But the fact they were complicit in allowing an awful lot of questionable activities to be take place on their site needs to be called out. They need to feel a certain pressure to completely clean up their act and maintain a level of integrity. The fact that now Polk, Ingram, Negreanu, Schwarz and Chan all avoided truly taking them to task was pretty deflating. [/QUOTE]
