 * It's not one of the pages I regularly visit, but it is one of the older and larger poker cites on the web. I would say that it would be on par with a PokerStars/FullTilt/UltimateBet websites, as that is what it really is, an online casino.   For this, I would trust it (plus, it is a fairly well known story that is often cited on poker shows.)--- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 03:49, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

 * What makes http://www.pokerroom.com/newsroom/news/592/ reliable? We may have discussed this last time, but I didn't check.
 * Yes we did, the poker room is an established gaming casino and one of the oldest/largest poker cites on the web. I would not rank it as reliable as a magazine, but for this story, which is pretty well known in poker lore, I believe it is reliable. --- Balloonman  PoppaBalloon 03:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
