holycowpoker.com?
 
I just ran across this site while searching for something else:

Holy Cow Poker

Does anyone else know of it or have a clue who is behind it?
No, I am not a shill for them, I have just been hunting around and cannot find anything out about them.

Somebody provided a link to one of Dutch Boyd's current failed projects and it redirected to this. So take that for what its worth.

Yes failed Zerorake now points to this. It is a part of the Action Poker group that is most known for Tiger Gaming Poker.

ZeroRake was never owned by Dutch Boyd. It failed and now HolyCowPoker made some sort of deal to get its URL redirected it to.

At one point there was a lot of talk about Dutch owning ZeroRake, it was all BS. No where did Dutch ever say this, his site is RakeFree.com. In fact I bet if you ask Dutch himself he will tell you the same http://www.dutchboyd.com/contact.html.

A former crew member disagrees with you.

I hadn't seen that post, very interesting.
No idea what the agenda is there, although it doesn't change the fact that Dutch hasn't once spoken about or tried to support the site via his many media opportunites.

I'm going to email him to see what he says, if I get a response I'll post it here.

The average joe who watches poker on TV knows nothing about Dutch Boyd's past failures. Given the way ESPN deified him during the past 2 WSOP broadcasts, which of the following quanities do you think is greater.

a) the # of people who would have played at a no-rake site, but won't now that they know Dutch Boyd is part of it

b) the # of people who wouldn't have played at a no-rake site, but will because Dutch repeatedly shilled for it during the WSOP broadcasts

I personally think more people fall into category B, and therefore, it would have been in his best interest to promote any site he had a stake in, despite his past transgressions.

However, its possible that I'm just dense.
