    i guess if they were real smart, they would do another dummy sale too. if the corp has a new name, must be new owners... maybe even ones that are anti superuser.

    Nat has said that he believes the new ownership of UB is heading in the right direction.

    It's just a move so that the "new" ownership can escape the umbrella or scope of the "old" ownership. If you were wanting to turn things around for 2 sites that have been cast in the most negative light possible in online poker, wouldn't you want to start fresh, too?

    I'm not defending UB, AP, or Leggett, but it 100% makes sense from his perspective.

    wow, so much negativity - although not entirely undeserved obv.

    one of the many threads a number of people were suggesting that the only hope for UB/AP long term was to open a new site with new software and new branding. looks like that's what they are trying to do, let's hope they don't fuck it up.

    it's also a new set of software, hopefully without the superuser abilities. doesn't mean everything is all rosy and perfect now, but definitely a step in the right direction imo.

    Wonder how this will affect rakeback? Hopefully it will improve the worst MTT schedule around.

    Moot I guess, I'll never play there until they show all the fraud has been eliminated.
