I think right now its clearly hurting our situation, but it would have the opposite effect if AP proved this was a well orchestrated hoax. Frankly I haven't spent much time reading the long threads, but it a few things stand out for me with what I have read.
First, it seems very strange to me that someone who has the nuts in seeing hole cards goes after every single hand. Am I to believe they are not smart enough to let a few slide, I mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand if I win every pot its going to look strange.
Second, there was plenty of time to orchestrate this hoax and anyone with notepad on their computer could accomplish this. The real question that needs to be answered for me is "Were the hole cards that were given in the actual xls file genuine?" Once AP or the auditing company tells me this then it will be easy for me to base a conclusion. I just think to myself with a little time in notepad or excel I could very carefully complete a 132 tournament and paint any kind of picture I wanted.
Lastly it just seems like too many things conveniently came together for this to be exposed. I may just be wishful thinking here and perhaps I may have different sentiments if I spent a day going through this soap opera, but I am just going to wait until there are more developments.
But if this does prove to be a hoax, then it will actually look very good on the industry security measures. However if its true and this player could in fact see the hole cards then the anti online gambling move will never let it go.
Were the hands from the tournament posted on PocketFives genuine or not? This says it all for me!!
