IMPORTANT - Changes at the blonde Cardroom.

[GreekStein]

ok im being thick - whats a key logger?

A kid named Kellett.

Sorry, I'm not quite so good at the subtlety shit.

What's he done now??

I should do this sort of thing by pm but it's more fun for me not to.

He was in Amsterdam for the Master Classics and let someone play on his laptop.

He had a key logger on his Lappy and then logged into said persons account and.....

Was that at the most recent Masters Classic the other week? Who was the other player.

You should run an online poker detective agency.

Yeah the other week, can't remember the other guys name. Not British iirc.

Detective agency would be pretty pointless - loads of people know about this. I just like outing these c-nuts.

Sigh, Cos

Discretion is not exactly your watchword.

Why should it be?

There could be several blondes who will meet this kid anywhere round the country. By outing him I might stop a blonde from getting their balance emptied in the same way.

Let's just say I know everything.

[Claw75]

lol - did you PM him then? What's his name? Oh and can you ask him when he's gonna make his fecking breakfast?!

I agree with cos in this instance.  Why should't people be warned of - if nothing else - being on ones guard if they have heard something about a certain person?

It depends on the source of the rumour, if it's actually true, and what evidence you have.  If someone said the same about you (as an example), you'd be well hacked off as there'd be no foundation to it.  If it's true and can be substantiated, then yes - people should be informed.

This. And if Cos is certain that this is true (eg the police have investigated or whatever) then the facts and evidence should be presented rather than just an accusation.

[Ironside]

[Chili]

Just to be awkward, I'm going to throw a +1 in here.

I even heard bits about it in Ireland, so it's hardly a secret.  

At the end of the day, he's not a member of the blonde 'family' and nothing wrong with giving a wee heads up to our own who may not know.  

Not sending a lynch mob round to hunt the guy down, just saying, 'Lads...watch yerselves and your laptops.'

This is all diverting attenton from a Thread which is very important to blonde, & about which I have quite a bit more to tell you.

But I was the one who, rather stupidly perhaps, made an obscure reference to key-logging. So it's my fault.

1) The story has whistled round the poker world, anybody likely to be affected already knows, but it's unsubstantiated AFAIC.

2) I believe it's true, or largely so, but I have no proof. Others allege they have, I have not.

3) Name names to protect others? (Or satisfy their curiosity?). No - the guy is well known as a grimmer already, not a soul in poker, & certainly not in blonde, would trust him an inch. So there's no need, & it would be ill-advised imo.
