Your blind arrogance and failure to take full responsibility for your shady actions will not be missed. Good riddance.

I expect a lot worst from what the OP and two person ahead of me were saying. Dude came out a lot better and pretty humble. He probably steal +ev when other highstakes player would do certain action if they knew it was him but it seem like he wasn't being malicious if he were trying to tell other in those game it was him. I think if anything maybe a little naive in his thought that cause him to make bad decision.

While he wasn't perfect he's done what 80%(multi account, vpn) of American pros have done at least a few times since Black Friday. No reason to hate him imo, he at least admitted to it, unlike other lunatics who bash him for it and do the exact same thing.

The euphoria of that moment has been replicated only a few other times in my life (although similarly happy and arguably more healthy feelings surface more often, mainly due to loving relationships I have).
...
When the dust settled, I realized I had effectively turned into the person that I resent
...
with her help I have realized that yes, I am brilliant, and yes, I am capable of great things bigger than mastering a game and winning other people’s money.

we got new miss universe!

Studying/analyzing hands with other players on an opponent is A ok with me. Anyone who thinks otherwise hates life.

After reading that blog entry, I guess it'd be fair to say my hatred for this man has intensified by quite a bit.

My amateur psychology assessment would suggest hes still playing the victim somewhat and hasn't gotten over the haters, easy to slip into depression with that mindset i reckon. I Guess excessive money doesn't buy happiness it would seem...

He became a millionaire off poker... Who gives a f how he got there... He played on stars while in America why would you f ng care... If I lived in US I would be vpn ing on stars all the time... If you aren't then you are an idiot.. Him and his boys collected hands and studied him and destroyed him for 4.2 milly in 4 hours... Some say cheater I say well played ...

Poker is about money and Hastings beat the game for millions and for that Respect

*yawn*

Everyone has to retire to get some extra publicity to feed their egos.

Mike McDonald, Shaun Deeb, Fedor Holz, and now Brian Hastings.

Who gives a ****. All 4 of these people have 'retired' from poker.

Stop promoting these idiots.

Time & space helps.
