Mason Malmuth Scrapping TwoPlusTwo Strategy Archives?

In some pretty crazy news that I got from a trusted source of mine connected to one of the moderators at Two Plus Two, it looks as if noted poker author Mason Malmuth had recently made a post in the Mods section of the 2+2 boards claiming an apparent disdain for the Strategy portion of the forums.

Why?

Well, apparently Malmuth believes that the very boards that he provides his thousands of loyal poker readers and players free access to should be limited in regards to its Strategy stickies and other links to 2+2’s top quality posts.

Again, why?

Well, with good enough reason, Mason thinks that those past strat archives and posts will bring down its publishing company’s book sales. Over the past few years, sales have been down dramatically, and it could be because of 2+2’s top players giving away solid advice at no charge for several years now. Something that normally could cost up to 50 bucks is being taken at no charge.

What makes the story a bit strange is that he deleted the post in question. A post that was put up in the Moderators-Only section. And a post that demanded that all mods eliminate all forum stickies and top strategy postings that on TwoPlusTwo. Hmmmm, wtf?

Anyways, I just thought it was an interesting read, especially considering Mason Malmuth’s fall from poker respectability over the past year or so (Brandi Hawbaker’s suicide and inbred love affairs ring a bell?).

Below is a copy of the post before it was then deleted by Malmuth himself. YOU make the call on what you think should happen I suppose…
