In his blog, poker legend Doyle Brunson recently discussed the trials and tribulations of the CEREUS Network. For those who are unaware, the CEREUS Network, which has found itself in the news for all the wrong reasons lately, suffered a security breach that cast another dark cloud over both UB.com and Absolute Poker. UB.com has since worked extremely hard to remedy the problems, but in some circles, the damage has long been done. Here’s what Doyle has to say about the whole ordeal:
“I’ll say one thing, Daniel Negreanu is very vocal about his dislike of UB and the CEREUS poker network. I think that he is right about everything that happened, but I’m not sure we should completely throw them under the bus. It seems they are trying to do the right thing now and keep things under control, but how on earth could they allow something like this breach of security? I know some of the former owners are still in the office at UB so they have to go the extra mile with their security. It is a mystery to me how poker players keep going there and that brings me to my next subject.”
Doyle went on to discuss the effects of President’s ‘Stay away from Vegas’ had in Sin City’s economy and why he voted for John McCain. The Texas Dolly is certainly an interesting read, check him out here. Here’s another fun little excerpt:
“I’m going to rest until the 7 Card Stud tournament on the 4th. I’ve got to get more focused than I have been. My 1st tip that I needed to concentrate more was when I started brushing my teeth with Preparation H this morning!”
