tiffany: Real or gimmick account?
 

A poster is using the screenname of "tiffany" in the WPT forum (and earlier in the Books/Publications forum). The poster is saying she is Tiffany Williamson, a woman who finished 15th in the most recent WSOP main event.

Tiffany Williamson generated a lot of press during the WSOP for taking lots of time to make decisions. She was seen on ESPN's coverage last night and that has restarted talk about her. I had actually already suspended several posters for insulting her (calling her a dyke, douche, etc.) when I came across a "tiffany" post.

Usually, these types of accounts are obviously fake. I've banned "Doyle Brunson", "Johnny Chan", and "Phil Hellmuth" because it was obvious that people were just posing as them to make jokes. But, the "tiffany" account seems like it is legit.

How do we go about confirming this?

Re: tiffany: Real or gimmick account?
 

You can see her e-mail in the acct. info. Does the e-mail address look like it flagrantly belongs to someone else (josh46221@aol.com)? Send her an e-mail. See if she responds. See if the name of the account is Tiffany. It's not 100%, but it's a start.

The e-mail account is: tiffany_b_williamson@yahoo.com

Re: tiffany: Real or gimmick account?
 

Yeah, I can't say I'm surprised. The problem is that while it's very easy to conclude that the account in question is NOT Tiffany, figuring out that it actually is Tiffany is much harder. Still, though, sending an e-mail and seeing if you get a response would be significant. If it's just a gimmick account, it's less likely that the person actually checks the e-mail there.
