2+2 and Cardplayer
Mason wrote: [ QUOTE ]
Two Plus Two Publishing LLC has ended our relationship with Card Player magazine and all affiliates of Card Player. We intend to keep this separation permanent. [/ QUOTE ] Will we ever here the story why? Also, did Mason ever post the results to his hand to talk about where he had the king-high flush?

Re: 2+2 and Cardplayer
I don't know about 2+2 and Cardplayer.
As for Mason's hand, Clarkmeister apparently ran into Mason at the Golden Nugget and Clark was able to get out of him that his opponent held AT for the nut straight so Mason's hand was good. There was no mention of suits. Clark posted this info towards the end of the original thread if you want to do a search. Luke

Re: 2+2 and Cardplayer
Thanks Luke. I've been in and out of town as of late, so I was afraid I might have missed it.
Guess Mason doesn't want to fill us in on the kerfuffle with Cardplayer.

1/2 the story.
I cannot remember exactly but i think it came about when a friend of mason's posted an encounter he had with Barry Sherman (i think thats his name...i don't remember and its why i posted it as "1/2 the story") while playing poker.
barry apparantly referred to mason as "an idiot" or some such nonsense. this may be the straw but there is a lot piled on the camels back and i'm not sure how far back it goes but it seems like a mariana trench type wound. -Barron

Re: 1/2 the story.
That's exactly why I ask. It sounds to me like Shulman was mad at Mason for something, possibly because 2+2 ended its affiliation with Cardplayer.
The story will get out eventually, so I thought it might be in Mason's best interest to tell us his side now.

Re: 1/2 the story.
It's really none of our business.
Curiosity killed the cat remember. Husker On anothere note, I read an article regarding the Shulman's and how they are hoping to expand their subscriptions to somehwere in the 300,000 range over the next year.(3000% increase over the 10K current subscribers) [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] It was also reported from the horses mouth that the annual subscription price would fall in the $39.95 range.This was all mentioned in an article on pokerpages.com (I think) [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].....something under the title of ,"Riding the wave of the Poker Boom" yada, yada, yada.

Re: 1/2 the story.
And yet last time I checked, you can access any article you want, online. Why would someone pay $100/yr. for a subscription if you can get it online for free?
