UB is holding what is for their poker network a massive sunday night MTT. A 750K guaranteed prize fund for a poker network to hold outside the Big Two(Stars and Full Tilt) is significant news in and of itself. When you couple it with UB/Absolute Poker's sorrid past, it is bound to create waves.
Both components of the Cereus network have been embroiled in past superuser scandals. A superuser is a person who can see all of the other persons hole cards in play. It virtually ensures the victory in any tournament or significant earnings at any ring game. So much was made of it that even 60 minutes got into the act with signficant coverage.
Years have passed since Potripper and NioNio were on the scene, and it seems the Cereus wants to see where its reputation is. Will greed about a possible significant overlay lure users back? Will people be entranced by this sirens song and brave the depths of this virtual poker room? If you could afford to play in this 2k buyin event, would you knowing the sorrid past of this network.

IMO Cereus will get close to meeting the guaranteed prize fund thru entrants. Why in this information age would anyone choose to play there? The same reason as why people continue to play at Jazette sportsbooks even though there is signifcant information about the risks of playing there. Greed, overlay, and a possible large payday will lure them in. Gamblers and poker players cant help themselves. The it cant happen to me attitude will get them

My projection is 340 for amount of entrants in this tourney. 2k a pop is 680k plus 100 entry fee for each person. Guestimate of 40k'ish in overlay.

Even if I could afford it, and with a juicy overlay...no way I risk it when I relive this memory
