Well guys the shit hits the fan again
I think that this is just sad for online poker, we dont need this, as an industry or as grinders, it damages us all. Cake cannot just shut down because of the simple fact that is not just Cake, what about all the other skins? (eg Doyles, Sportsbook and all the other little ones). We are talking about people here, families, etc, depending on the website's revenue.
Still, it amazes me that this happened after what happened at Cereus in May. This is a wake up call guys. The online poker industry needs to make security its main concern, unfortunately, some poker rooms main concern is profit and dodging expenses. Some have idiots working for them. People who couldnt care less about poker and see this as just another job.
I played at cake in december, never really cared much for the site cause of the low traffic, poor MTT selection and poker client FREEZING A LOT EVENTHOUGH I JUST MTtabled 4 or 5 tables max. Played at doyles in april and left cause of the same. Rakeback is a + of course and the softer selection of games. Customer service is great and way faster than PS or FTP usually are. I have really good friends that work at doyles and I can really sympathize. Is not their fault unfortunately. They really try hard to be the best place to play for all of us, but hey, programmers at cake are really ****ing up really fugly.
I think this could be the nail in the coffin for the cake network, if this is not handled quickly and responsibly. As for Mr. Lee Jones I do think he is sincere in his apologies and pain. Of course he is gonna try to sell us the idea that it is safe to play there, is HIS business, is HIS duty, he IS the face of the network right now. Unfortunately, he could sink with the ship too. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LOYAL TO THE HAND THAT FEEDS U AND THIS IS WHAT LEE IS DOING, CANT REALLY BLAME HIM. Personal attacks on him are just childish or done in the heat of the moment.
Lets sit and watch what happens.
