he's wearing a "Get out of jail free" shirt, total total douche
the 'grinders' are playing $2 and $12 180man sngs too lol

If you look at the total profit on the Sharkscope leaderboards sorted by level you'll see the people playing those levels are making more total profit year after year than people playing stakes five times higher than they are. Hate on Nick all you want but don't hate on people who are capable of pulling in 6 figs a year off a relatively microscopic investment.

hey man its cool if you play/played those stakes, i have too and i wish i could now.

i called it a quote grinder pad because those guys were not friends, they were some guys that answered an ad to be in a 'fightclub' type house led by the lolpro Nick Rainey. ppl really make 100k/yr playing $2/180s ?

I don't think 'vice versa' means what you think it does :P Unless you actually do hate Nick Rainey more than you should because you think he's Nick Rivers heh.

Wait, so Nick Rivers *isn't* an ex-tennis player and Patrik's PA?

Then what about the guy in Nick Rivers' avatar? Is that Nick Rainey? He looks like he could be a tennis player that works for Patrik?

This expert friend of his needs to tell him to pay off his debts first and foremost. If his name gets out of the mud, he can go back to scamming students for crap coaching at $75/hr...

"If you are interested in receiving coaching for SNG/MTT's just shoot me an email nickrainey@gmail.com and we can set up a session. I am charging $75/hr or $200 for three hours."

More crap from this toolbag:

"When you can sit down at your computer and literally print $100 bills out of the machine it is easy to fall into the trap I did. Anytime I wanted to buy something nice or needed money to pay for something I could work hard for a few days and had it taken care of with no problems. "

Ok, then just "print" out enough money to pay off the people whom you owe.

Is there a big waitlist for that coaching? His reputation as a coach is so spotless. Not only is he a thief and a scammer, but he is one of those damnable individuals who insists on using the word "literally" exactly wrong! Somehow I think I'm more upset by the latter.... I never said I was normal.... move along and stop looking at me!

Well, those should be made for the poker community of all the scammers, cheats, and thieves. On the inside pages you have a mini bio of each scumbag. And the mag would then be available at the WSOP, WPT, and a bunch of casinos, just like cp mag is.

Someone make cards like this and sell them at the next WSOP.

I'd like to believe that this will deter people in the future, but I fear that is a bit hopeless. If thieves of this sort were thinking rationally then they wouldn't be doing what they're doing.

I do think what admo has done has great value, however. At least it puts Rainey on blast specifically so people who hadn't already heard enough questionable stuff about this guy are forewarned. Plus, thieves just deserve to be outted and humiliated.

I like this idea. I would definitely buy a pack.
Who makes up all 52 cards? Who're the Aces & Kings?

I'm curious what the most reasonable protocol is before life-pwning a scammer on the internet is. IOW, Admo did you tell him what you were planning on doing (putting up the website) before going live and give him a chance to make restitution? Did he respond to that at all, or just ignore everything?

Don't interpret the above as being sympathetic to Nick. All indications are that he stole $10,000+ from the poker community, which, if true, deserves this kind of an outing. Just interesting, given that there's no rulebook for this kind of stuff in this day and age, to think about what's the most appropriate course of events given that the interwebz is forever.

Admo couldn't PM him, unsure if he tried other avenues, but he posted in the marketplace scammer thread he was going to post it well before he did.

Russ Hamilton would definitely be one of the aces.

The Portuguese poker prodigy would have to be in there as well. Not an ace or a king, though.

I like how people keep saying this. Stealing 10K with close to 0 chance of physical harm or jail is pretty much the nuts for a thief.
