I followed a couple of this guys old blogs and always doubted how truefull he was being. Earlier today i was given a link to this thread. I just finished reading it and im astonished at the lack of people questioning this guys stories/motives. Ive spoken to a few players who have played/chatted to him, pretty much all of them have questioned his integrity. A few points to consider.

. Of the screen names he has outted in the past, hes down a considerable sum over a big sample.

. Has he even revealed an account that resembles success over a sustained period? to anyone?

. He has charged for coaching in the past where the only evidence that he is a succesfull player are the graphs that can be found on his blogs (which are very easy to manipulate give me 10 minutes and i can be a 20bb winner)

. i know hes had atleast 4 2p2 accounts now. This might seem like a moot point but I can't figure out why anyone with nothing to hide needs so many.

. Ive never know one guy to have so many strange hiatuses always returning with the most bizzare explanations or no explanation but a new thread.

why would he lie? also if he is lying its not like he is making money of people in this thread currently. also if you do not believe him from previous threads why read this one?

not trying to start an argument but just asking what was the point of your post?

Another point to consider, hes even lying about his age.

Quote:
I think just for example 3 1/2 years ago when I first went to Vegas i only took 1 friend, then a year later I took 8 friends by doing a rake challenge set by a site (60k in 4months), then as i moved up from medium stakes to 5/10+ I could start taking 12 people, then last year was 15, and in January for my 25th i think there are 20 of us going.

This will be the last trip as i've decided when i'm 25 life gets a bit more serious and it's time to grow up etc

I recently signed up to these forums with the intention of posting in a different bit of 2+2, however a friend asked me yesterday, "do you think you will be a millionaire when you are 50?". I am 22 right now so with 28 years to go, I would guess so yes. But I don't want to wait that long

If he hadnt charged for coaching before i'd deffinatley not of entered this thread. Fact is he has and I can't trust that he isnt currently charging more people under false pretences. Just because he says on here he isnt really doesnt fill me with confidence. I mean hes lied about his age on this thread. Why wouldnt he cover this up when he actually stands to gain something?

If its all a lie, its much worse than pathetic. In any other industry he'd be up in front of a court facing charges for fraud.

Coopah admitted earlier that he lied about his age, and he's 25. Look on previous pages.

Why in the hell he would lie his age ITT? Does not make any sense, but if he has some kind of angle going on maybe then....

Sorry didnt see the admition.

How many times in your life have you lied about your age though? Any explanation as to why he tried to potray himself as a different person completely to a whole community really ought to raise some suspicion.

He clearly didn't want people to find out he was coopah also. Atleast one guy has already said hed pm'd him asking if it was him before he came out and told everyone. He knew people were thinking it was him and it was only a matter of time before someone pointed this out on this thread so he felt it would obviously be better for his credibility if he admitted it.

I know he said its because he didn't like being asked questions about his roulette habbits, but the fact is he seems to thrive on discussing his roulette habbits on a public forum at any opportunity.

2. Hero can't filter on hands in HEM? Rly?

3. Hero doesn't know how to post a hand to a forum? Rly?

2) if never used HEM before , then how would i? this knowledge just isn't something you are born with

3) never done it before, so again, how would i know this?
This was a q+a session held by coopah on page 13. Again more blatant lies as he clearly used to upload hands on here with ease.

Firstly, i would like to thank you very much for signing up to 2+2 today and taking the time out of your life come along and post in my thread.

I'm actually very surprised by all this, but whatever, will answer your 6 posts so far...

If you could be kind enough to tell me the players that you've spoke to that have 1) played with me, and 2) chatted with me, i'd appreciate that. I speak to actually very few of the poker community on skype so who you are referring to would be interesting for me to know. I mean, I even got ‘Giev_Money?? The guy who has arguably the best thread on 2+2 and one of the biggest crushers on the Euro sites to come along and say I am genuine when people were questioning me earlier in this thread.

. Of the screen names he has outted in the past, hes down a considerable sum over a big sample.

Do you even know which screen names I play on? I recently said I play on Kn0wYourRole (ongame) and FistPumpFTW (ongame also). Kn0wYourRole according to PTR is +$60,838 in 33,704 hands and as shown by the graph didn't really have a losing day over the month I played on RedKings with a winrate of over 13bb/100. FistPumpFTW an account which i've played on for just over 2 months on and off is up +$80,534 in 70,258 hands again with a winrate over 5bb/100 (no bumhunting on that account ) Again, the graph shows a line which only went down twice. So in 3 months of playing over 100k hands, i have just shown you two accounts which only dropped money 3-4 times.

. Has he even revealed an account that resembles success over a sustained period? to anyone?

See above.

. He has charged for coaching in the past where the only evidence that he is a succesfull player are the graphs that can be found on his blogs (which are very easy to manipulate give me 10 minutes and i can be a 20bb winner)

I agree anyone can change a HEM graph. But unfortunately PTR cannot, and the accounts I have outed show profits. (PTR actually doesn't track all hands, and my profits on both accounts are less than I have them for in HEM). I coached I think 3 people once, one of which I am still on contact with on facebook and skype as he's from the UK. Please feel free to ask him how the session went, I can get him to post in this thread if you want.

. i know hes had atleast 4 2p2 accounts now. This might seem like a moot point but I can't figure out why anyone with nothing to hide needs so many.

You know wrong. I had one when I was like 18-19 (6 years ago) and posted like 10 times just bragging about how I won $1k at 0.25/0.50 or something... I have this coopah account, and I recently created the Grind4Money90 account - notice the 90 on the end, because I wanted to say i was 22 so people didn't think i was 24 years old (as that is what coopah - me, is).

. Ive never know one guy to have so many strange hiatuses always returning with the most bizzare explanations or no explanation but a new thread.
A new thread? I've done 3. One was the original £500k in 1 year one. The next was rebuilding season because of me losing alot on sports bets/roulette and the other one was this one which I created on the new thread.

It's not really lying, is it. More 'hiding my identity'. It is perfectly allowed to want to remain anonymous. I create these threads for one reason really, to help me remain motivated in goals I set myself. I don't create my threads for no other reason. So the other thread when I admitted (I didn't have to), but i did because I am a honest guy, I held my hand up and said I have lost a lot on sports bet and so will have to rebuild, and created the new thread 'rebuilding season, making $100k in x days' or something. I kept on getting messages about how I shouldn't play roulette and should get some help etc, although of course they are nice, they were kind of repetitive. And as a result I created the new 2+2 alias, Grind4Money90. The reason being simply I didn't want to have to answer anymore questions about past bad habits and make a fresh start. Of course, I am going to make it easier to hide my identity and not come along and say 'Hey I am from London and age 24 just graduated from Loughborough University...' as it would be obvious I am coopah. So I just came along and said I was 22. Didn't think it was a bid deal. I'm sorry for upsetting you the way I have done...

Sorry I didn't really get much out of the coaching, and was doing it for far less than my hourly rate. It was a lot more tiring than playing poker was too. If you can get someone to come forward and say they are currently being coached by 'coopah' or 'Grind4Money90' then please go for it... Gain something? Actually coaching other people had the opposite effect.

Oh and maybe a few times when I was single trying to be successful with a lady Any explanation as to why he tried to potray himself as a different person completely to a whole community really ought to raise some suspicion. Yawn, if i was going around Pm'ing people or Idk what else I could do, get the details of people or something, then maybe, but fact is I stick to myself. I just play poker, post hands, post results, post graphs. I said in this thread that people who follow my twitter or people who followed my other threads may know who I am, but I didn't care. Then one day I just decided, f**k it, i'll tell everyone, as I still saw people who seemed cool posting in my new thread who also posted in the other thread, so thought they had a right to know they are speaking to the same person, that is all.

He clearly didn't want people to find out he was coopah also. We have a genius posting ITT. Atleast one guy has already said hed pm'd him asking if it was him before he came out and told everyone. He knew people were thinking it was him and it was only a matter of time before someone pointed this out on this thread so he felt it would obviously be better for his credibility if he admitted it.

I know he said its because he didn't like being asked questions about his roulette habbits, but the fact is he seems to thrive on discussing his roulette habbits on a public forum at any opportunity.
I actually have said let's please not talk about roulette again in this thread, so quite the opposite again of one of your statements.

I genuinely couldn't work out how to upload hands (the reason being I was now using HM2 and not HM1. As soon as I found out how to (by exporting the hands to my desktop page) I posted around 15-20 hands. I then gave explanation to my play, make your own mind up if what I say is bullsh*t or whatever, but my thought processes seem to beat the games I play in.


Any other theories/questions, please feel free.

In a earlier thread you said you grinded 50nl for a while, at what point did you feel things 'click' like going from breakeven to winning? Did you develop into a tag to lag player?
When i was playing the nl200 games on Paradise poker, they set me a rake target of 60k in 3 1/2 months. I played everyday so learnt a lot then about bluffing spots / ranges etc. I was never a tag player, always lag Then after the rake challenge i moved up to nl400 then found that alot easier than nl200, idk why really.

As long as those are your really best friends and not some ppl that take advantage of you and your money, i know how to recognize this and hope you do to

p.s. also ppl you are boring with roulette, he said he isnt playing it anymore, dont choke this thread also with it
Very nice post , and i agree 100%. Thanks for this

I would say you have a good memory and know all players at the table well when playing even when multitabling so is it like you can memorize things better than others? I remember i have read something like that in other thread but i am not sure. I think because of that you can adapt to different players well and faster too.

And this would you say you make money from fish and weak TAGs mostly and your toughest opponents are players who play a bit more loose agressive and who balance and adapt whole day? Because i would think that. Thanks and nice times.
Playing within the small player pool, i know who is tight/loose and what ranges they 3b with etc. It's not like i have 200+ players to remember... And then if they are just average reg i can exploit them in a lot of different ways that hud stats really don't matter. Just adjust to the games going on at the moment and hud is pointless imo. I do have a good memory when it comes to lines taken by diff players also, which helps. It's funny, because my memory is terrible with other stuff in life, just not poker.

And yeah, aggressive lag style is the hardest one to play against, or aggressive tag too, & weak+standard+don'tthinkoutsidethebox regs and fish ofc easiest.
