GL to you

online is going well too! a lot less 2/5 this month and a lot more 5/10

I am not normally one to jump to conclusions of nefarious activity right after coming across a thread, but I just want to provide some background info to those that might not be in the know. I am also a winning mid-high stakes Global PLO reg, if that matters:

- Portemilio was presumably banned from playing on Global poker in 2021. He posted a thread to plea his innocence (filled with half-truths), which I will link below. He claims it was just a simple staking arrangement that resulted in his ban, but it later comes to light that his this stable was one that was known for utilizing RTA (Squid stable).

- I remember playing with Portemilio a handful of times at PLO 500-1k on Global, and other regs were concerned about potential RTA use before the thread I linked above was even posted. Shortly after, he never made an appearance in the games again (presumably because of a permanent ban).

People are certainly capable of learning from their past mistakes and making the right decisions moving forward. However, in the case of Portemilio, I find that hard to believe. The peripheral evidence that other users posted (e.g. evidence of discord chat with the founder of a tool used to cheat AFTER he was banned from Global and claimed no further affiliation with this stable, never outing this stable for their wrongdoings, and just overall defensive and combative behavior in this thread) when viewed in conjunction with the facts above, all make me at the very least highly suspicious of the results posted.

I have no evidence of him cheating on Ignition. Sure, he could have cleaned up his act and is just one of the best legitimate PLO players online nowadays. However, this is a day and age where cheating on Ignition has all but been confirmed as widespread (and crushing regs went from winners to losing players in the matter of months). Couple that with the fact that Ignition's security has been absent in cleaning up the games, it sure seems like it is the perfect storm of opportunity for cheaters like Portemilio to hop in and make a killing in the games.

Sometimes when something looks like **** and smells like ****....it probably is ****.

I'm enjoying the thread port Keep it going <3

Flight to Vegas in a couple of hours! Packed out of my uncles apartment. Planning on getting my own spot when I’m back. I have Vegas from the 14-24th. I get back to NY the 25th in the morning then I’m going to Lebanon for 3 weeks! My girlfriend got a job in Chicago so it seems likely I move there, but I also really wanna move to Austin for poker. A lot to think about. Also there should be some really good games in Lebanon so excited for that. Today has been exhausting a lot of packing and planning. A guy I met at Parx is giving me a free comp for 10 days at the Wynn which is awesome. Will be playing the 5k PLO tourney on June 20th at Pokergo(still have 10% for sale, sold 20% already). And going to be grinding cash in the meantime!

Also. Side note.. I played a private game recently and won 15k. Haven’t been paid in almost a week which is kind of upsetting. Really trusted the game. Hope they pull through. It was referred through a friend of a friend . I went into it thinking they pay right out the gate because I had brought money to buy in with but at the end of the night after I won they said they’d Zelle or Venmo me the next day because they don’t hold cash for security reasons. The guy isn’t ghosting me but he keeps blowing me off saying he’ll pay the next day without ever following through. Really upset about that but already mentally have taken the hit that I’m not getting paid. Just sucks cuz I’ve run like **** live and finally booked a big win and I don’t even get to get paid

Glad you’re enjoying it! Thanks

Flight got canceled cuz of the Ryan. Kms. Had to completely rebook my whole flight. Got a refund but have to stay in airport until 7 am (new flight time) unless I wanna Uber back home which is another 100$. So im just gonna stay here till then. Definitely a bummer

Interesting. So OP's a scumreg, basically.

huge win, grats! does parx have 10/10 plo? GL in vegas when you end up making it out there

Yeah they have a 10/10 game thats basically a 20 mandatory straddle (even though its not mandatory). Thats how most live games are. It mostly runs on Tuesdays which is the big PLO day at Parx, i tend to only go there on that day.

Yep got to vegas, grinding some 25/25/50. met a lot of people ive played throughout the years online which is really funny. Some good and bag regs. Games are good dont wanna jinx anything because ts pretty high stakes but my stoploss for this trip is -30k. Taking a shot here but if things go well I can see myself making a lot in the next 8 days

Also a lot of smoke around him ghosting on Global under another high stakes reg's account.

It’s goin

in for 5k out for 33k what a fkn night. gg going to bed im exhausted

This thread is wild. After I congratulated you on some spectacular results the information that was posted made me reconsider how impressive it is. It led me to learning a lot about online PLO's unsavoury past and present. These are serious allegations with multiple people coming forward with some pretty damning evidence of your involvement and continued contact even after being caught.

Admittedly the evidence does show that you were being intensely pressured to become little more than a connection between Visions and a poker site. It also shows that you were reluctant and had a strong desire to prove yourself as a player in your own right.

I am a firm believer in second chances but I'm also not one of the many people who you had illegitimately won large sums off of. I'm sure that changes things a lot.

Your offline results are obviously very good but that doesn't prove anything about the legitimacy of your online results. I don't think anybody can deny that you have been involved in PLO for long enough to understand it very well. However, your online results are so far above the average win-rate that it is natural to be highly suspicious considering your past.

I've been following but not commenting because I truly have nothing to add and people far more qualified and closer to the situation have weighed in. Finally I have something to add to the conversation though...

Those Aria chips are ****ing nasty! What the actual ****? Is the cage just a shack in a swamp? Have they been up someone's ass? A few years back everyone had a plexiglass window and now we're all back to chip shuffling up some COVID-24? That's a $5000 chip and it looks like it is about to ask to clean my windscreen for a dollar. What a dump.

Hey man. I’ve said my piece and I’m not gonna continue to address people that don’t really know what they’re talking about. Me not addressing anymore isn’t an admission of guilt. Half these things are conspiracy theories that aren’t worth my time or energy. Im crushing online and live and clearly that upsets people.

Lmfaoooo about the aria chips

This is what the rack looked like end of the night ��
