HBP: Excellent summary post of coverage of Absolute scandal
Related Articles
A growing number of bloggers and various other poker news sources are refusing to let the Absolute Poker cheating scandal die, and we say more power to them. One example of such a source: Hard-Boiled Poker, which published an excellent summary post on the coverage given to the story to date.
The problem, concludes HBP, isn’t so much a lack of coverage but a lack of interest on the part of readers. Excerpt:
No, I think for anyone interested, there’s plenty of information out there about the problems at Absolute Poker. That’s the problem, though. For a variety of reasons, ain’t a lot of folks all that interested.
A month-and-a-half ago, Gary Carson pointed out the pointlessless of blogging about the Absolute scandal, explaining the generally lackadaisical attitude of most poker players’ towards cheating ensures such efforts will largely fall on deaf ears.
Carson’s probably right. Indeed, sometimes I think even those who are interested in the scandal aren’t listening all that closely.
