PPN Poker Returns After Leaving Players in Limbo for Four Months

PPN Poker

There appears to be some good news involving Chuck Kidd’s Poker Pros Network (PPN).  After announcing more than four months ago it would be leaving the Cake Poker Network, PPN stopped accepting players and stopped paying them as well.  PPN Poker claimed it was in the middle of creating its own website/network.   

The whole thing was a little odd as Kidd had just gotten through telling Gambling911.com two months prior to PPN going offline how Cake Poker was essentially the best thing that had happened to him over the past year and how “great” they were “to deal with” (this was the third online poker network PPN had moved to in less than a year). 

The new online poker room finally announced its re-emergence this week, instructing existing players that they had to change over their passwords. 

Kidd, after making nearly daily appearances on the popular QuadJacks.com Internet Live Podcast Show pretty much fell off the face of the Earth around the same time his online poker room went offline.  Speculation surfaced that he may have been nabbed as part of an investigation into a payment processing company based in Southwest Florida. 

Kidd runs (or ran) a payment processing platform called Pic Club that reportedly was going to be taken down as part of a May 2011 seizure operative by the US Attorney’s Office out of Baltimore, Maryland.  Kidd, we are told, corresponded with the infamous Linwood Payment Solutions, set up by none other than the US Attorney’s Office out of Baltimore.

Finally, this week PPN Poker sent out emails advising players they can now log on using new passwords (as previously existing passwords would no longer work). 

Alas, it’s hard to play poker when nobody else is around.

A disgruntled customer posting on the TwoPlusTwo board wrote (with sarcasm): 

Site is now up and going "strong"! All three of us on the site just a played rousing 7 minute high stakes game of 20NLHE. One guy left the other gave me all of his money ($7.62)! I look forward to more of this.

Whether Chuck Kidd is still involved with PPN Poker remains a mystery.

PPN is the laughing stock of Online Poker Sites.. They advertised in emails that they were back.. and will be giving away 5 WSOP seats.. they have daily freeroll qualifiers and daily freerolls.. but get this.. you log in.. register for those games.. and somehow either the games mysteriously disappear..or you get a message "You lost your connection to the site" so we try to log back in.. and BOOM the server has crashed.. this happens on a daily basis.. but Now on the other hand if you are playing the Cash tables with the lonely 3 people logged into the site.. all runs well..still pretty crappy software..If I were him.. I'd take that site totally offline until they get all these issues fixed...so if I were you or anyone wanting to try out this site.. Player BEWARE!!! all I have to say...
