Hey Jose, learn to use periods or commas or something.

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.

So who is the friend? How bout the name of your co-cheat? Looking @ Poker Table Ratings this sauron1989 account has only been tracked since July 8 2011. If you are such a prodigy and doing so well why wouldn't you just give your "friend" some funds rather than cheat? I have to think BS. I think your friend is you. Did you give the guys you cheated the other guys name? Did you create the sauron1989 account just to cheat these guys?

Yeah, you would think that only 2nl fish would be trying to scam people for their rolls.

yeah man of course they are the same people, they logged out of skype and poker at the same time and reconected which means they were either in the same room or on the same computer. anyone else agree?

This is what gives poker a bad reputation.... Shame on you girah, i dont understand how someone as clever as u could be so naive to think they could scamm some of the best minds in the world of poker... How could you be so god damn stupid.

TNCS · 08-07-2011, 12:40 AM

Im stunned, I never thaught Girah could do something like this, he seemed so down to earth and nice.

chasern1 · 08-07-2011, 12:41 AM

This is so disturbing, god knows how many of those scams he pulled before until he became "famous", that's probably the way he built his roll...

vinivici9586 · 08-07-2011, 12:42 AM

storys still really weird (just dont see the motive for him). not sure i would trust any of his results up until this point

miguelanjelo · 08-07-2011, 12:44 AM

but why the "sauron1989" account is only up $5,626 according to PTR? the OP said it was for 30k.. And Jose, if you are going to scam people for 30k, at least invest 20-30 bucks in buying a totally different internet connection from what you have for the 2nd computer, so at least it could have a different IP adress.. IDIOT

Not only are you a cheat, I think Jose is a liar as well. Saying your "friend" suggested they cheat. LOL You have an imaginary friend Jose? You're ruined guy. This is gonna make all the mags and poker shows.

This is unbelievably scummy, it's Russ Hamilton territory. The absence of of morality is exactly the same even if the $$$ pale to the UB losses.

As someone who's done individual coaching and group collaboration all I can say is WOW at the idea of trying to exploit people who trust you. Some coaches are probably just in it for the money, but I felt like a lot of them really got something out of seeing another person make strides - I know it meant a lot to me if a student found success. Who even thinks **** up like this? Don't you feel any kinship with your 'bros'?

I don't know that people should give the apology much credit at all, though it seems like it gives some satisfaction to the victims. The whole mommy/nurse **** is just weird, and blaming the inspiration on some other scumbag you know. How can you even try to explain something so filthy?

Like it or not, this casts shadows of doubt on everyone this 'prodigy' hangs with. Reps just work that way. Online poker keeps finding new lows, is there any good news anymore?

Cheaters gonna cheat. Life-ban + life-no-respect.

Even if a rapist feels bad for what he did, he still ****ed your daughter.
