When I posted I would be responsible, it was a year ago and the original owners
were still there. I knew money would be no problem, they would honor any debt.
When the site was sold to some off-shore sportsbook who I didn't know, I asked
repeatedly for my picture and endorsement to be taken down. It was not taken
down. Because one of my friends was running the site, I took no legal action to
see it was done.
I should have posted a retraction about my involvement, but didn't. ok, its a
bitter pill, but I'm not walking away.Even though I have no legal obligation, I
feel I have a moral obligation. I don't know what Highlands is going to do in
the future but I have no involvement. I think Highlands will do the right
thing, but let everybody understand, I am gone.
I will see that everybody that has requested cashouts until now will be paid in
full. Anyone who e-mails me until the 1/st of June will also be paid. Send your
account number, your screen name and amount owed. I'll check with the Highlands
records to verify it.
Good luck to Highlands. But in the tradition of the king [Elvis]
DOYLE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
Well done, Doyle.

It is pretty well known and accepted that Doyle Brunson's REAL Email
address is indeed "texd...@aol.com".
BTW, the great Mike Caro confirming to a newbie that it is indeed Dolly. You
gotta love RGP. Most poker players don't know what they are missing ;)

Why should I take any credit for this? I would have done what Doyle is now
doing, long ago. I would also have distanced my self from the place long ago.
I accuse Doyle of cheating, not of not paying his markers. What does one have
to do with the other?
Cheats have to pay to pay debts, to keep credibility. The same way I do. I have
never accused Doyle of not having balls or not keeping his word, only of
continous cheating for over 30 years. I hope this clarifies things. I wonder
what the situation would have been if GCA wasn't pounding on the door everyday,
however?
However, it does seem strange that Doyle doesn't use the American Justice
system. I wonder why this is? Why didn't you take your name of Highlands when
it was sold?
Class act!

Well, here's the deal bucko. Most RGPers like and respect Brunson. They
don't like or respect you and - as a result, they don't believe what you say
about Brunson.
You claim Brunson was a poker cheat for 30 years. Is your claim true? I don't
know. I wouldn't know you if I tripped over you. I've seen Brunson play in
high limit ring games. I shook his hand once, but I don't know him.
What I do know is that I respect him and thererfore, I would take his word over
yours. There is an old saying in business, "the customer's perception is
reality". Based on your posts, and the responses to your posts, this appears
to be a lesson you haven't learned.

Because Highlands Club most likely is run from another country and the
American Justice system isn't going to do anything about it.
mike
Well, why didn't Doyle just come on RGP as he is now, and state he is no longer
guranteeing Highlands, and is no longer affiliated with them. Was this to EASY
to do? Seems like it was, the way it is playing out.
Sure he is, you just have no knowledge of anything and are a stooge for poker
since you are affiliated with gambling related business's.
Can you state anything that is detrimental to poker without it hurting your
balance sheet?
And please don't ask me to lay off the attacks on you, because I will not when
ever I deem there is one needed.

Add my two cents in here. That is Doyle's email address and it has
been for quite awhile.
Class act for him to honor these debts.
I received all my money back a long time ago, so have no beef with
Highlands at all. Just disappointed that it didn't make it. Games
were great while they lasted.
Diane
Doyle, are you saying that you will pay people personally out of your
own pocket, or just that you will use your influence to see that
Highlands pays?
Either way, it's good to see that you're involved, although the
cynical side of me thinks you're only doing it to repair your
reputation in anticipation of a forthcoming involvement with another
on-line card room (or other endeavor).

I'll give 5-1 Doyle is finished with having anything to do with online poker
sites.

Agreed on all points, Diane. Too bad about those sets towards the end.
I left off playing at Highlands soon after you did (for other
reasons--and I had no complaints about the site). I too wish they had
made it. Anyway, I didn't get to FW during your last visit, so will
have to say hi another time. Anyway you must have managed to say hi to
Myron during your trip--sorry I missed that too;-)
Russ, do the terms "jerk" or "boor" mean anything to you? Why do you
have to attack so many people personally? Why can't you just stick to
the facts about gambling and poker?
Were you the kind of player who used to talk the loudest and
smoke the most at the table? Do you think the world revolves around
you? This newsgroup can benefit from some of your knowledge, but MOST
of what you post could be thrown out and it would only HELP the
remaining real material if you did so. In fact most of your posts are
either repetitions or are personal attacks as this one is (as even
this one of mine might be considered to be). It all is just so much
NOISE...shutup already and stick to the facts please. Jeez if you were
this obnoxious at the poker table I'd be surprised you didn't get
punched a few times just for your personality.
This might in fact be Doyle, but people should remember it's not very
difficult to forge both email and Usenet posts.
The only way to know for sure if a message is posted by someone is if it
is digitally signed with some thing like Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or GNU
Privacy Guard (GPG).
Scott...
Well, at least we know that texd...@aol.com is his email address...
so even if it wasn't him he's still the one getting the email.
mike
Your points are good, but if you send an e-mail to that address, it
should go to Doyle, whether or not he posted the message. And I can
personal confirm that he DID post the message.
Straight Flushes,
Mike Caro
I'm glad that you do have confirmation that it is his message. I've
never met Doyle, but he does seem like a decent guy.
I was just reminding people to have a little caution when reading non-trivial
messages (such as the Highlands Club topic.)
BTW Mike, I enjoy your Poker Digest columns, keep 'em coming.
Scott...
Put a sock in it!!
Better yet, swallow the damn thing.
You ask why he didn't do anything earlier, seems to me he explained
why in his post. We may or may not agree with his reasons, doesn't
mean a damn thing, they are his reasons.
Chet
But... how do I know that you are the real Mike Caro? ;-)
Keith
Rust, you lame dick. You're only spewing allegations, you have no proof. It is you that is a a
stooge.
And a liar.
That's all you have is stories. Poor guy. Wish in one hand, shit in the other. That is you.

As to how it's done, it involves connecting to the netnews TCP/IP port

No.
Faking headers, newsfeed accounts, ip addresses... none of that has anything
to do with email accounts. You could post using any email address that you
want and it would show up just fine. If somebody examined the headers it
could be determined that you weren't Doyle or the Pope or whoever you were
pretending to be, but there would be no problem posting as from
the_...@vatican.com and the email address wouldn't tell you anything.
