Recently NoelHayes account played against likes of Ivey and Isil. This is pretty scummy, especially since Hasting has a history with Viktor. Assuming viktor didn't know it was Brian that is twice he has deceived Viktor. Also Ivey is always out of loop so he prob didn't know it was Brian either. Again, assuming these allegations are true.

another HS scummy as hell.

now about ghosting being ethical cause everyone with a coach can do it. tell to every recreational player that when they are playing a mmt ft for big money, people who they think that arent that good, are being told what to do in every single spot by his coach who basically is 100x better than him.

but at the end of the day i guess this guys know online poker wont last forever and are just trying to make the maximum amount of money they can, no matter what. you think hastings could get that big boobs girlfriend earning 20000$/year looking like he does right now? you all know the answer.

However, this post by Zima (and some others but picking this one out) is nothing but sour grapes. You do realize that you are literally complaining that you booked a bet based on the information you had, when there was more information out there that would have changed your perception of the EV of your bet. LOL. Welcome to professional gambling and the real world (this happens all the time in financial markets)! Everyone is seeking an edge, and the fact is one person is getting exploited. This time, it was you. You're trying to exploit him being rusty, so why can't he exploit you for assuming you know more than you do? Seems silly and arbitrary to me where you are allowed to try to hustle someone, but they can't do the same to you. Brian didn't offer these bets to lose money or break even.

Unfortunately, there isn't a term sheet that goes into handshake bets or bets "booked" on Twitter that says both parties need to disclose all information about their skills that are relevant to the bet.

There is nothing unfair about betting that you're better at something than someone else thinks you are. In general this is why I don't make bets like this. You are at a huge information disadvantage.

There are things WAY worse for your EV than him playing in Stars big games. For example, he could have gained access to a GTO solution (HU) or GTO approximation (ring) to any/all of the limit games, and could have spent the last 3 months playing against bots to make sure he either remembered what to do or had enough intuition to make the correct play in all spots. Should he have to disclose this before betting? Absolutely not, IMO. If Ike plays someone in PLO, does he have to tell them all of the software he uses off the table to fine-tune his strategy?

Now I also want to say that, if you would have asked him "Brian, have you played any high stakes mixed games recently? I will only book this bet if you haven't" and he replied "No, I haven't played any high stakes mixed games in 3 months," then this changes things. If that conversation ever took place, feel free to inform us.

And what do you know... another thread with vinivici bashing Cardrunners/Taylor/etc.
i generally agree with this post. (not entirely though)


thats why i posted saying "i liked my side, so i bet". its on me to know this stuff when i bet.

still feels scummy to me when brian has been playing on a dif name. if he played on his real name and i saw him playing everyday during scoop, i am not sure if i make the bet (he did lay odds, so i might have bet regardless). but my horse would surely have been playing with him some and known if the price was right/good to bet on. brian has a ton more info then me (in terms of how good my horse plays etc) and my horse has no way to know how brian plays. i know i know, maybe i got hustled? but again, feels scummy when brian uses a dif name and i have no way of knowing.

he did say in Joey's podcast he was working on his game (followed by him and Joey sharing a laugh that seemed like an inside joke) which at least is sort of a public admission to anyone booking bracelet bets he has been playing these games. imo maybe a slight hustle, but not all that scummy for bracelet bets. bakes obv has a fairly significant gripe, as does anyone else who unknowingly faced him on pokerstars.

Same reason no one can ever take anything Negreanu says seriously with regards to ethics. He blasted Annie Duke and ftp at every corner and yet still hung out and staked one of the most unethical, Scummiest people ever who directly stole hundreds of thousands from many 2+2 ers and millions from his own company/haralabob

I think what broke bluffer meant was that if you have to deal with Joey in any way, you can ask him that personally and make your own decision going forward on whether to conduct business with him in whatever shape or form. But as for calling him out on the forum, and putting him on blast for the alleged actions of someone he is between aquaintances and "bff's" with, is just that, none of your business.

i think i deserve at least some credit for withholding for 2 years that i knew stinger worked for cardrunners at the age of 17 as a way of laundering his underage winnings.

One of these days, Stars will realise it's 2015 and will offer players the opportunity to change their screennames on a daily/monthly basis, like they can on Unibet and MPN, such that multi-accounting, bum-hunting, and datamining don't even exist, let alone tarnish the brand's image. /derail

Does anyone know how much $ the noelhayes & bignittybanker accounts won or lost during SCOOP? I railed the big 3 handed mix game between BigNittyBanker, Ivey, and Blom, and BNB was constantly reloading to $60k. Between watching that, and lurking the high stakes thread and seeing HHs, it really looked like the account was losing money. Does anyone know the results?

Oldschool cheaters, like "the seal", used to tell me, "theyre gonna lose anyway, I just speed it up, nothing really changes". This is exactly what the new cheaters think as well. Its the mindset of the sociopath and it is prevalent in poker.

You mix on the spectrum broke gambling addicts with nuthugging rubes flush with cash in an anonymous unregulated atmosphere and this is what you get. New low level bush-league cheating "scandal" every week. These ****ers cant even imagine how the real pros are cheating them. These fly by night poker sites dont give fuq about you.

Yes, the ones who don't understand basic networking, of which there will certainly be a few, will possibly VPN in detected and Stars will stamp it out fearing repercussions. It is these repercussions which are Stars only concern. What else could I possibly have meant?

Man you really aren't good at hiding that huge chip on your shoulder. I assume you probably haven't had the online results you feel you should of, and are annoyed most successful online players look down on your game. The main cause for that annoyance is because, deep down you know they are probably right, eh?

Yes, the connection to Stinger is weird to say the least, but the evidence is overwhelming. Someone mentioned the name "Mark Davis" earlier ITT (post #23) as a possible middle man.

EDIT: You are also obviously Irish with that name and sticking up for Hayes. Get up the yard yourself and try harder if you want to fool people
