In a buzz that has been hitting the internet poker forums pretty hard, it looks as if online poker legend Cliff Josephy was released by his former employers over at Ultimate Bet this week.  The man known as “JohnnyBax” on the virtual felt confirmed in a post over at the 2+2 community that he was informed by management that he would no longer be representing the company either through online promotions or live tournaments.

As many people already know, Josephy disappointed many of the followers that made him the household name he is today by signing on with a site that cheated its players out of millions following the UB/AP scandal fallout.  The original founder of the popular training site over at PokerXFactor.com didn’t have much to say other than this over at TwoPlusTwo:

Just wanted you guys to know that you will no longer see me as a redlined pro in their lobbies, nor will you see me wearing their patches at live events any more.

That is all for now,

Bax

His good friend and PXF co-founder Eric “Sheets” Haber had the following response to Josephy’s O.P:

The reason why Bax is no longer a UB pro is simply because UB renegged on its deal with him.

I was there for the phone conversation and can attest that this is the case.

They called him and openly renegged on their agreement without explanation and should be ashamed for doing so imo.
