ChicagoRy has a blog at this website: http://2manpoker.blogspot.com/search...-paginate=true

On his blog he talks about having other players play on his account: I also had a friend of mine who was in town for the weekend 6-8 tabling 50NL shortstacked. He got me a ton of VPPs and made somewhere around 80-100 bucks, we obviously did it for the VPPs

Here he says a friend played in the 20KFR: ** My buddy took like 400th out of 4k+ people in that 20k FR for me today while I was out, for a whopping 12 bucks. I didn't realize how bad this thing paid out, so from now on we only are going to do the sats for the Supernova 50k FR, and play in that.

Here he talks about taking action from a friend, railing him and giving him reads over a microphone and flipping to gets VPP's: Tonight Hokie needed to make Platinum. He needed to do about 475 VPPs in like 3 hours so I took half his action on the 110s and railed his

Here he implies that he has a buddy play for him to hit his goal of 500 VPP's a day: On VPPs. I'm probably not playing tonight, so I'm back about 700-800 vpps from my 500 a day goal throughout the month. My 6 max buddy was supposed to play this weekend but he's been offline for the last day or two (extremely surprising, our sn's are never offline).


Here he says he got Platinum thanks to a buddy: I have platinum on Stars already, thanks to my 6 maxxing buddy. Took a bit of a downswing, but we'll both ride through the variance.

Here he talks about SuperNova thanks to his friend: So yea, that and supernova, life is fun. Luckily I "have a little help from my friend." Still need like 10k vpps in 4 days, hoho.

This is from 3 years ago, right?

2-3 years ago Noah, not Sure. But as soon as 2+2 made him a MOD he stopped blogging about his six max buddy.

So go tell Stars

All this **** needs to stop. It's so bad for the game as a whole.

Someone blogging about having ppl play on his account. Super smart

My first attempt at a FYP

FYP. Practice makes perfect

FYP

why would you post this here? just email stars if it really bothers you?

wtf OP I can't find any of the quotes in the blog

Because the guy is a mod here, and we use this forum? The way you put that it sounds like it doesn't bother you. Is this not bothersome? Is this standard? Should it be?

lol

cry more OP.

also, lol @ 07. u are breaking new ground.

also, pretty sure ChicagoRy has paid Stars more in rake than you ever will so please stfu.

well this obviously makes it ok then.

When exactly did paying rake become cool? I've seen that argument made before. There's so much fail in it I don't even know where to begin.

Well, Unfortunately:

"Had a good last two days, as did my buddy who plays 6 max on my account."

I did a search.

http://2manpoker.blogspot.com/2007/07/doing-better.html

There are more, but that should about sum a little up.

Bronx already posted this in HuNL.

He's mad because I called him out about trolling the crap out of the Stox/Jason Ho thing.

He wants me to change the thread title to bash StoxPoker and move it to NVG to further bash StoxPoker. I told him to setup his own thread but he'd rather troll and blame 2p2 for "covering this issue up."

About his post:

A few years ago I let a broke buddy play 50NL 6 max on my account when I was sleeping for awhile. He lost me money. I never played 6 max, nor did he ever play husng.

I forgot about this and apparently didn't think it was a big deal at the time. I don't think I was a mod here and I know I didn't own my training site nor any other poker business. I try to hold myself to higher standards these days, as well as other people.

And I did know I was breaking the terms and conditions at the time, it was just something I likely did not feel was a big deal at the time.

----

Keep trolling Bronx.

Big F Deal

Um, I'm not freerolling in 110s and 220s myself, however, I don't think its not a big deal if I break the rules, AND - because of the future, I do tend to hold myself to a higher standard - ESPECIALLY if writing a blog.

While you prompt to keep trolling, I find the answer not satisfactory, imho.

This is so petty. Your motivation for posting this clearly has nothing to do with your concern for the "rules".

+1

I'm sorry if I came across that way. I'm just trying to tell you exactly what happened and why.

I'm not going to lie and pretend I thought I was getting away with something big at the time or considered it to be a major issue, because apparently I posted it on a blog that I linked to in my 2p2 profile and dozens of unique users visited a day back then.

I didn't say it wasn't a big deal or anything. You're the judge of that, not me. I just tell you the truth and you form your own opinion.

The higher standard stuff just means that I hold myself to a higher standard now than I used to because I operate businesses in the poker world and am also proactive in many issues where I feel poker rooms have treated players unfairly. That should obviously happen from day one though. And it didn't, for whatever reason, the best explanation I can give is that I didn't value that rule too highly at the time. I know for sure I was aware of it though, I'm not claiming ignorance.

The trolling remark is just directed at Bronx. I suppose I should just ignore him, but now he has a personal vendetta against me for publicly calling out his trolling of another issue throughout many forums. I tend to warn/address people rather than banning, as the forums I work in aren't "mass ban required" forums. So I do a lot of public back and forth or PMs. Rather than take my advice on how to post about the Stox issue, Bronx just became hostile to me and kept trolling people in various forums about the issue. I called him on it, and the result is this thread. Unfortunately, he's just an anonymous person.

This is idiotic. So 7 years ago I let my 16 year old daughter play a couple of SNG's on my account. She was interested and obviously couldn't play on her own. She didn't win any of them but had some fun and we had a good time sitting together and talking about this and that. I guess I broke the TOS too.

Good Grief. Don't you people have anything better to do?

jesus ur a whiney bitch stfu u ****ing pussy

Full tilt just banned someone with the same excuses. So when is it okay, where do you draw the line?

Obviously, some new posters here, coming from the other forums. Now, since this wasn't directed at anyone in particular (I'm presuming OP), HOWEVER, I'm a SHE, and can easily see that statement directed at me.

So do 2+2'ers come together if its one of their own? As opposed to the stranger off the street?
