Major Absolute Poker Issue

[Simmo!]

Keep the discussion adult please guys. Stop the personal crap public or private - it achieves nothing. If you disagree fine, but take the insults somewhere else unless you want a break.

Cheers

Simmo!

Thank you.

Can you comment on this excel thing?

If AP does not have excel installed for its employees, how could this file have been sent out by an AP employee in excel format?

Even if they don't use Excel or files in Excel format at all, they may extract data from a database in Excel format for a player in the expectation that the player will have Excel or some other software such as OpenOffice that can read Excel files. Btw, how come you know so much about their internal computer systems?

How the hell would I know if AP uses Excel or not? Why would I even care? FFS, where else would CrazyMarco, who's a random kid whose sole connection to this scandal was being cheated out of lots of money by a call with ten high heads up, have gotten this thing from? It doesn't even cover the final table or any of his own hands with Potripper.

Wanna do a blind test? Email 10 random addresses from that file. I bet they all go to legitimate boxes. Or did we make that up, too?

if AP has some degree of guilt in this, something to hide, then maybe it makes sense that the person you asked might lie about them not having excel? who doesn't have excel? what do they do their accounting on? it's a business, it's excel. come on now.

Because I asked.

How can they format an excel file without the excel software? I don't think that is possible.

I don't use excel or any windows office software and I know a lot of folks in IT that don't.

Fair enough Simmo, I will refrain from insults per your request.

The only problem I have, is that LOTS0 is coming off as an independent observer when he/she is not. The simple fact that he/she has a vested interest in the success or failure of absolute poker makes their statements pertaining to the case null and void.

For what its worth, my opinion is that lots0 has been here some time and I've never seen him defending AP before this thread, or done anything remotely shill-like that I can remember, from memory at least, so I am not in agreement he has a vested interest, but its speculative and I dont agree with everything he's said - or the way he's said it

Anyway please continue, minus personal jibes

One further comment/piece of advice for everyone, not just you: if you are angry or emotional over another's post, step away, cool down for a bit, and consider a more dignified response that adds to the debate rather than takes it off-track. And by all means report the post.

Simple comma separated values are good enough for Excel.

Failing that, there are any number of tools that can read and write Excel files - many of them for free. OpenOffice would be one of them.

By the way, the IP address argument is invalid. The "shared" IP happens to be at a bar in Pavas named Zulu.

I never said I was an independent observer.

So what is your stake in this? Do you have anything of value riding on this? Or are you just talking out your ass?

I have a stake in this, first my reputation is on the line, then I have a business stake (it has been known to kill a business to promote a crooked casino or poker room). So I am involved no matter if I like it or not. So why are you here? Just to condemn or to find the truth?

I'm into finding out what the truth really is.

Have you seen this file? it is space delineated file.

Which argument is that?
