This is the funniest response I’ve read on a 2+2 thread in a long time.
Original Poster States:
Mansion had a $100k guaranteed at 11:00 today. Only 350 people joined and after the 3rd hand they cancelled the tournameny citing “Technical Problems” (note all cash games were running fine) 5 minutes later the tourny was removed from the list.
It has now been about 30 minutes and my buy in still hasn’t been refunded.
Mansion is plugging these 100k “Guaranteed” tournys all over their site and software i think its absolute bull [censored] that they can cancel it because they don’t want to lose that much money.
Does anyone know anyone high up in mansion that can rattle some cages?
Response from AJackson:
OP,
I really think you’re on to something here. Since this promo has been running they’ve given away over 3 million dollars. Today, that extra $65,000 was just too much and they decide to do the highly unethical move of faking tech difficulties.In the future there will be a new principle known through out the world as the Zomg Razor. Unlike Occam’s Razor which chooses the simplest explanation, Zomg’s Razor picks the most complicated and unlikely explanation.
Keep up the good work!

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
