Legendary 2+2 Poker Forum Sold

A stunning announcement made it to to the poker world as Mason Malmuth, the owner of the popular 2+2 Forum, informed the members that the forum outlet has been sold. No information was disclosed on price of the sale or just how much of the company, that includes publishing outlets and other departments, was sold to its new owners.

In a posting on the forum’s popular “News, Views and Gossip” subcategory, Malmuth said the following as he announced the end of an era:

“It’s hard to believe that it was 24 years ago when twoplustwo.com was launched, and at that time when we started with just one forum, we thought it was only fifty-fifty we would get a post. But here we are, many years and over 60 million posts later, and it’s time for new, younger people to take over and make this site better than it has ever been.”

Malmuth then shared his gratitude to those who have been with him from the start of the site.

“I want to give special thanks to those who helped with the launching of this site: David Sklansky, Chuck Weinstock, Mat Sklansky and Ray Zee. I also want to thank Mike Johnson and Adam Schwartz, who hosted our Two Plus Two PokerCast for many years; to Bryan ‘Dynasty’ Clark, who has been our magazine editor for the past fifteen years.” Malmuth also thanked others who contributed to the success of the site, which over the years had become a strong force in global poker.

Malmuth pointed to his age as the main reason for the sale as he and many of those who founded the site are getting old:

“I’ll be 70 this fall…when the offer came in to sell the site to new, younger people who are on top of all the latest programming technology and who should have the ability to make the site better…we felt that the time was right and would be best for everyone.”

The new owners, the creators of the Hand2Note HUD, have as of yet not shared anything on their plans. Malmuth confirmed that himself and his staff will be around to ensure that there will be a smooth transition.
