Pretty easily constructed rationalization
You could just as easily make the argument that hes less likely to cheat people because he knows how ****ty it feels to be super used. I think the same could be said about a lot of other speculations itt such as the durrr challenge... If jungleman wanted to play on girah's account why would he publicly say he has a friendship w girah. if he truly wanted to cheat durrr he wouldve hid behind the scenes and no one wouldve suspected any connection between the two. This is also why i think its unlikely dih and jungle had any clue about this scam. Had they known they wouldnt have constantly vouched for him and put themselves out there to take at least partial blame

edit: im not saying dih is innocent bcuz the chat seems semi suspicious but i just think he wouldnt have put his rep on the line if he was planning on scamming ppl w the person he vouched for

Should be noted that The Bear Jew was the only person in the 70 miles prop bet thread that was defending Haseeb.....

The Bear Jew's ridiculous narrative faillacy attempt should also be noted though, I'm pretty surprised he would post something like that.

FWIW, my personal experience was that I never noticed anything special about his play, though I may have not seen enough showdowns in order to make a reasonable assessment. One thing I do remember thinking that seemed odd was that he did quite a bit of table selecting even at 2/4--Significantly more so than other notable opponents who didn't have his reputation for crushing higher stakes.
Did you not call him one of the top 5 best regs on merge in your ssnl thread? I could just be misinterpreting what you mean and I apologize if I am.

I have written up a bunch of posts, but honestly can't figure out a way to say anything that hasn't already been said. So I'll wait eagerly with the rest of everyone for the parties involved to respond. Seems like there is a lot more information waiting to come out.

Btw unless I missed it, this thread is seriously missing an "I told you so!" post from limon.

Amazing that even in HSNL the penny hasn't dropped yet (for most at least). Martin among a minority of others not surprisingly has the gist of what's going on. The full details may or may not emerge but suffice to say look no further than Qureshi. Sad that jungleman is getting thrown under the bus with him but then again he has obviously shown really poor judgement to be so closely aligned with him/become his close friend.

At this point Id be surprised if DIH didn't do something incredibly shady. As others have said it looks like DIH was on top of world, then went on a downswing/got hacked/whatever then took some time off....Maybe then he found an articulate, smart, decent mid stakes euro kid and concocted "girah"..... fwiw I also think its hard to say if JM was involved at all.

I already said ITT that I like Haseeb and want to believe that he has done no wrong. However, all the connect the dots make it seem like he is really in on this.

Its just speculation...jeez. chill out wtf? Thats exactly what this thread is for....getting to the bottom of this mess and obv a possible motive should be brought up. I said the same thing with Sorel in the chinese thread (when he got cheated) and later on went on to say that I think Sorel might be in the right! Its just speculation! wtf?

If anything, I'm saying Haseeb isn't THAT BAD OF A PERSON , and a series of very terrible events made him go crazy therefore his cheating/multiaccounting/ghosting w/e is more easily justified from a public sort of view. Jeeeez.

I really like Haseeb, and thats what I was trying to say, not a burn at the stake kind of thing....i was rooting for him in the prop bet thread, and think he's great....just can't not say whats right in front of everyones eyes....durrr challenge seems weird too especially as evidence seems to point that girah is a decent midstakes reg at best which is a far cry from hsnl hu superstar.

For the record, as I've already said in this thread/NVG, I don't think that this girah guy was purely a DIH puppet. I don't think DIH is behind the superusing. I do think that despite my reads on haseebs character/what I think happened....that I shouldn't speculate/get to the bottom of this anyway because of all the ****s that happened w/ this girah character...and time will tell!

need to sleep now tho jeez 2p2 so addicting.

I'm not going to preempt but I know 1 person who is preparing something.

also how much of the $2M that girah won under his accounts were achieved by Haseeb logging in to play, since OnGame has already banned his account for Haseeb doing just that? note that Haseeb completely ignores addressing this in all the skype chatlogs.

So the figure is already $45K and going to become much higher within the next day or two when people get their evidence together. lets therefore not repeat "Oh it's only $30k, how can a nosebleeds player care to scam someone for $30k..." Well, it's not just $30K. It was already much higher than that.



jungleman doesnt need to play a single hand to profit from girah taking on durrrr. "Jose how about I move in with you and teach you to beat durrrr the way I beat him, in exchange I will take 50% of whatever you win.."
Exactly what I was saying and what a lot of people in this thread don't understand (although it's pretty obvious). For those who still have troubles understanding, just remember how girah was trying to make sauce play 50/100$.

dogishead gets accused here and yet he only replied once. Find it strange how he is not defending himself here. I certainly would if i wouldnt have been involved in any of the cheating.

DIH, u in on it? u have proven multiple times ur judgement sucks
08-08-2011 , 07:40 AM
fwiw I just read Haseeb's blog and my reaction is that on the surface it is a better confession than I expected, because if the whole thing was a lie you'd be able to poke so many holes in it given its length. If his intention was to lie about everything I dont think he would have made such a long post that opens himself up completely. So I think we should at least be glad that Haseeb has decided to post such a long confession.

However, there are several issues that Haseeb failed to address:

1) just how much he played under girah's account... admitting to doing it to get him banned that one time doesn't mean he didn't play on that and other accounts at other times

2) no detail was provided over just precisely how many people Jose scammed, for what amounts, over how long a period of time, etc etc. Since Jose was directly staked by Haseeb, all this needs to be completely detailed because we know that Haseeb profited from Jose's winnings, when we now know that at least part of the winnings may have come from him superusing others.

So the real dollar figures, signnames, etc etc need to be provided. otherwise we will never know the true extent of just how much scamming went on, how much of it is known between Jose and Haseeb/jungleman that is now kept from the public, and that therefore will continue to stain the reputation of Haseeb and jungleman until detailed information is provided, and then confirmed by the victims which include players who have either not yet discovered that they were scammed, or not had the chance to gather evidence and come forward with details. Believe me, additional victims do exist.

A while ago, I did something stupid. A friend of mine, who I introduced to poker, made a suggestion to me which was, I'm not going to sugar coat it, cheating. I had introduced this friend to poker and he was losing money, badly. He asked to play some of my poker friends and said why don't you sweat them and we'll see their hands. I don't know why I agreed. I don't know why I did it. I guess it was a mixture of guilt and stupidity and feeling ****ty for getting him involved in something which seemed to be bad for him.

This went on for a short while but I felt so bad, I had to say something. I confessed. I told the guys involved what I had done, I told my friends and the people who I respect and who respected me.

I told my Mum, confessed everything to her. I could see the disappointment moving across her face as she told me she was not proud of me despite all my success in poker; she was not proud of her son. She said how she hadn't raised me this way and what had poker done to me. Thats when it hit me, how badly I had let people down. I felt ashamed, I had no explanation; explanations don't cut it in situations like this and often come across as excuses.

There is a quote on the wall in my school which I always see as I pass the nurse's office. It says that the real mistake is not tripping up, but staying down. I thought of that and that's why I'm writing this.

I'm holding my hands up and taking whatever consequences come. I realise the severity of this, but I also realise that I have to take responsibility for my actions and so I'm paying back everyone involved and in addition paying them compensation of $30,000. I've also told my sponsor etc and whatever happens there I will take the consequences too. They have been really amazing to me and I've enjoyed every minute of working with them. Representing Lock and being part of their amazing team, witnessing the incredible growth, was a pleasure and an honor.

I'm young, I made a mistake and I hope that this doesn't define me; I hope that how I deal with this and move forward is the thing that does. And people will say I have no excuse and I know and understand that. I agree. I just want to let everyone know, I'm sorry. I apologise to the guys who lost their money, the people who I love and care about and I have disappointed and the guys in the poker world who have supported me for letting them down. I wish Ish I had something to say to you all, to say to my parents and my friends and all of those who thought I could do no wrong.

Again I'm really sorry.
FU Girah. i respectED u.

i really like how in that blog post hasseb makes a point of saying that jose was a narcissist, while at the same time including a **** ton of totally irrelevant and completely self-centered/arrogant statements about how "he thought i wrote like f. scott fitzgerald" and "he thought i was so much smarter then every agent he talked to" etc...things that have absolutely no relevance to the issue at hand other then to stroke his own ego.

its pretty pathetic that he can't even make an apology post, without filling it with all kinds of attempted self-promoting wannabe brags.

a few things that seem inconsistent to me but im probably just confused about:

1. he says he's going to gibralter on a flight when this breaks, but i though there were plans to go to portugal until it broke? im probably just missing it all, it just seems like the timing could possibly be relevant.

2. he says jose bought a house after his uncle scammed him and then he got cash broke (that happens). he also says he was hoping to go down there because it'd be good for jose's life to stop living with his mother and get out of the house. this could also be relevant.

3. he is not clear about the MA'ing, imo, unless he just flight denies all of it except the canadian account and him playing on girah's lock account? he's almost certainly lying here, although i feel like the MA discussion will just distract from the more important issues.

4. what about this guy challenging people to play 25-50 and pay them? obviously i know dozens of people who would have accepted if they had money on the same site as him, was this going to be girah playing? was he going to be ghosted? was he going to be backed for paying people to play 25-50? i think a timeline of his robusto to busto would be good.

5. normally i don't think that people's personal finances are relevant, but in this case i'd be a bit interested in haseeb's to see if there isn't some secret money, because it's an awfully sly trick to stake someone when you can't even pay your own debts.

if this is haseebs entire involvement (pretty big if, odds are that he's involved in one of the million of conspiracy theories that makes sense, imo), then it's not that bad, but jesus christ if this isn't the brick that broke the camel's back for haseeb's rep, it's certainly the straw.

I think his blog was terrible tbh, came of condescending and matter of factly.
Breezes over the fact that he played on girahs account by basically saying "Lol its wrong but it just happens and everybody has done it lol"

It it were up to him this would not be public because "what's gone on is only between me, Jungle, Jose, and those who got scammed, and that's it". What a joke

everyone should rly read the whole thing instead of cliffs even if its long

Might literally be ******ed to judge someone based on forum and blog posts, but to me Haseeb seems quite arrogant and wise-assish. He kind of breezes over the fact that he MA'd (remember how much **** mizzi or townsend got for it?) and focuses on distancing himself from Jose. Looking forward to the information that will inevitably surface, but this whole deal looks super fishy to me...
08-08-2011 , 08:12 AM
just read it! man, haseeb really loves the term 'big brother'. definitely upset he didn't get 'papa bear' in there though.

It's not the same though if what Haseeb said is true. Towsend changed screename and played in lineups he had lots of reads and history with for months under a new name and gained a pretty big advantage.

If Hasseeb played 1 session of PLO against someone he had no history with then it's a pretty big difference.

edit: still wrong tho obv so dunno why i bothered posting but w/e
