Heightened creativity
Reduction in anxiety
Greater sense of pressecense
Heightened awareness
Increased productivity

Hello guys,

a poker friend saw this post and told me about it. I never share my thoughts about poker in pokerforums, but when my name is being refered and especially in a dirty way , i have to react.

Firstly , im going to speak about the facts .
I started playing 6max sngs more regularly after the supernova elite stopped or the rake had been decreased by a lot, because all regs left, and i found it a good idea to start playing more often this format. I was only playing with table selection with minimum 1-2 fishes and that was the main reason-key i was doing really good on these games last 2 years (just to mention im playing 9 years sngs, including hu-6max and including the rakeback. Even by running really bad i was always up including the rakeback.)
Except geomanousos and talentaki (a supernova elite small stakes) ,greek players started to show up last 12-16 months.But there were also already others like akis_333 and belthazor, who are only online sngs players. This wouldnt change anything in my gamestyle of course vs everyone.

Secondly, belthazor is a regular in hypers .As every regular knows in hypers, he is obsessed with allins pre flop and every second allin he loses he starts writing staff like “cancer to your family” to everyone. No matter if he is a regular, a med stakes player or a huge whale that loses 1m$+ in sngs .
He added me on skype and many times apologised for his bad language and his behaviour. It was pretty obvious he could not control his anger. Plus i heard a lot of similar stories from other regs (english or from various countries) . So i was just replying in a short and kind way, because i dont like fighting and he was greek after all. Moreover , he asked me some times to go for a coffee or sth like that, since we were both in malta, to tell him about live poker or other things. He even asked to buy my hand histories, and i refused because as everyone knows in poker community my style is very different and unique (both good and bad plays 🙂 ,but still different. ) This is the same reason i said no to many people for coaching for big amounts. Maybe he wanted to see what i was doing good , or maybe he had the same crazy thoughts like now , that i was cheating or sth.
Anyway , i told him i didnt have time , both because i dont wanna have “too much going on” with these kind of people, and because when i am in malta im mostly grinding online and not having vacations.

Finally, what happened with pokerstars was that from nowhere me, geomanousos and almost every greek poker player who played sngs at 2017, received an email about our accounts being investigated.
In the start i was laughing about this, but when they were taking so much time to reply, and meanwhile was hearing pokerstars was going down, and people were posting negative things about pokerstars, was starting to get a bit afraid. They first asked about my relationship with these players. I replied same day with information about my relationship with guys that i didnt know and the guys that were poker friends like geomanousos, and talentaki and 2 others (There were 6 other accounts 4 of them never seen them, and 2 of them knew them from live tournaments) .Maybe i should have put more information about these people , but i thought it was a typical routine question. I also let them know i was discussing poker strategy only with geomanousos for sngs (whom i know 6 years and we are not even allowed to play im the same sngs).

i read the email from stars saying they took an amount from my account and banned me for 2-3 years.
I was shocked and disgusted . Im certain that they will come back with a different email, apologising. If not obv i will move legally against them.

Normally i wouldnt give a **** about what you are writing, since every poker player knows what kind of person i am and i would never try to cheat in such a silly way. But because many people read these articles, i wanted them to know the actual truth.
I would as well vouch for geomanousos and another guy that is not mentioned , because these are the two guys i trust they would never be as well so stupid and including me and mexican , i consider to be the greek elite team poker.

I just opened an account here and will close it after i let people know if money got back in my account and if pokerstars did a huge mistake or not.
Nevertheless, this doesnt change the fact i would strongly recommend people not to have too much money on their accounts, since clearly they can be wrong sometimes,


Ps belthazor you are mentioning about me or other greeks playing also sngs in vegas. I stayed in vegas 1 week and played 1 sng and noone i knew was there. Its so funny and weird to lie about this , since last week that you skyped me i told you i was in the hospital facing serious health problems , and that i was leaving next morning back to greece. So why would you lie about this? even last year we were playing together and we were the only two greek guys in the table.
I ll give you a good advice as i always have tried to do to help your situation ,and please take into serious consideration. Get a doctor ,get well and find other things to do in your free time.

There is a very good chapter about psychedelics on Tools of Titans. I will try to post it tomorrow. It is a very interesting topic for people who arent stucked in only one way of thinking and can accept or at least discuss a different point of view

I said you are playing in live arena and sngs in vegas. I saw you were playing every day last year when i was there, in the range of 1-3 sngs per day, sometimes with geomanousos on the same table. Thats a fact

I think everyone in the poker community knows my online behaviour and some people met me in vegas without having any issues. I greatly appreciate the advice you gave me and i will try to find a good one with my refund from your cheating

Keep in mind pokerstars never banned anyone permamently after 9 months of investigation because they were innocent

That is a lie. You told me twice to join you, once for food with some other people when you were in Malta and one more time to get a cup of coffee when i was in Greece. Fwiw



Moreover after 4 months you dropped me another message initiating a meetup when i told i was in Greece because my brother broke his arm



So many lies man, chill, its over


not so crazy now that you are permament ban eh?

When I met you said geomanousos was cheating. unfortunately i dont have the evidence of the conversation. I learnt to write facts

Here is a fact:



bottom line your volume in 6 max hyper before elite. top line after elite. So many lies man. I know its painful. I tried to be gentle but its over

The important question wasnt adressed. How tf can he be an online high stakes pro and not know about pio solver? Seems super suspicious tbh

The greek ''elite'' thinks it is elite but never studied with pio(i am excluding mexican, i never played vs him and i never discussed anything with him). I think he told me the truth. I didnt ask him if he knew pio. I said i ran this hand in piosolver and i dont understand why you chose this line. He asked me what is piosolver. I said a software a bit complicated but i changed the discussion for the obvious reason

I think the argument that he never used pio or heard of it says close to nothing in terms of “proof” here. No comment on the rest

It wasnt a comment on proof he was cheating. It was an indication that something was fishy and i didnt think he could be a top reg which made me to start investigating more

Here is a 10% of proof

Grinded 20916 hypers winning 315592



In that sample he won more than 200k playing against two of his friends, with the biggest drop of 20k abi 744$. Thats not hyper variance



Damn zisimo, that is a good exploit

Obviously Pokerstars have full access to handhistories but we(me and other regs) had more indications that this group of people were cheating. I am just saying again he was frozen 9 months and got permament ban two days ago. Plenty of time for pokerstars to do a proper investigation

Hey, GeoMnousos here, I was playing all day Main Event in Vegas, thus the late response.



First: Versus zisimo7 i DONT have any games cause we are restricted on playing sngs, he is a poker friend who we talk strategy


Everything started around end of November/start of December when I received a mail from pokerstars that I am under review for high stakes sngs. I was sent the following mail:



1st) We have noticed you have the tendency to raise more on your buttons and cut offs when those people are in bb



-Not true, my opening ranges are almost the same vs anyone. Ofc i might raise wider vs a bb who doesnt defend optimal, but still my opening ranges are the same.

Stars DIDNT provide a single proof about that cause there isnt any..



2nd) You have a tendency to fold significantly better hands versus those players

-Again not true: Stars didn’t provide any hand history again. I asked stars to show me hands where i played against them on the bubble where i folded a standard spot that i was not supposed to or where i didn’t shove any 2 cards when i am the chip leader or when i am supposed to..



Second email from stars:



Please describe in detail, the device you routinely use to log in to your PokerStars account and your usual ISP and network set up.



We note that you logged in from the following locations during 2017:



Romania between 22 January and 23 March

Romania between 29 September and 14 October

Cyprus between 15 October and 22 November



Please could you provide proof that you were physically located in those places during the time that your account was accessed from there.



-I answered for every location with tickets proofs



3rd) and last email from stars inform me i got a ban without any explanation or proof



I will move legally from now on, against stars not only caring about my account and the money i got in, but also about reputation as person and respect to people who know me




Concerning you..my compatriot Belthazorr… Everybody who plays sngs knows what kind of person you are and how you are behaving to his opponents.



Everything you said about me and vegas are lies and your own assumptions..

Nothing is true and nobody should ever believe you, i have played 3 sngs max in vegas last year and 0 this year.





Everyone who knows me personally can acknowledge what kind of person I am and this review/result from pokerstars isn’t right and deeply insults as a player and person



I will do everything possible with in my rights to prove this decision wrong as there aren’t any proofs of what i am accused of.

As said i saw Zisimo playing 1-3 sngs per day last year. I remember at least 4 sngs i saw you together because i was talking to him. I am not saying you are colluding on these sngs neither i said you are colluding online with zisimo as i know you cant sit on the same tables because you used to live together, the graph i posted from ss didnt include yourself. I said that this group of people are colluding and people must be aware who they have to dealt with

I am pretty sure you didnt do anything shady in vegas. Why would you?

Big news. I am an *******

I am pretty sure everything i said, everything pokerstars said and everything every reg believe and saw is a lie. Anyway i will stop responding to this nonsense, even though i feel flattered you all think i have the power to get you banned myself. You and your buddies can post whatever you want but you will not get a reply from me anymore. Claim i am lying, claim all other regs are lying, claim pokerstars have false evidence, claim sharkscope doesnt track your sngs correctly......for every single one of you.

I wish you best of luck taking legal action. I am sure you didnt do anything wrong and the best way to get your money back is a lawsuit. Best of luck mate

Belthazor you are saying zisimo told you in real life that geo is cheating?? What did he say he was doing to cheat?

FTR, I always got on very well with all the Greek elite, Geo and Zis in particular, i even played some SNGs with them both in vegas last year

I will not write what he said because i dont have any proof that he even said it

I hope you will continue to get very well with the ''Greek Elite''. I am pretty sure this is just a mistake and they didnt do anything wrong. I just posted Pokerstars action against them after an extensive investigation. I am pretty sure Pokerstars is banning permamently people because they are honest. As i said i think it is just a mistake and false evidence but i posted the facts we have after this nine month investigation

You seem to get on very well with many people who cheated fwiw

In the beginning of my career I worked with many people. I worked with a person who didnt have makeup clause in the end of the contract. Three months before the end he allowed people to play higher if they wanted. Most people took the shot because they saw that there wasnt a clause so they could leave in the following months no matter what. He knew that there wasnt a clause, his partner too because we talked about it. He was trying to freeroll some more winnings and then he tried to force people play after the end of it

I worked with a coach that got paid once by profit split. Then I was asking for coaching and he said he was sick. When I was logging off from skype he was grinding 5-6 tables. I kept asking for coaching for one or two months and every time had an excuse to not do it. After two months of no coaching he wanted to do the profit split but I said ''no you didnt do anything, I am dropping you'' His reply was ''you must pay the profit split for these two months and then drop me.'' GTFO. Then this person and his friend said to some people I scammed them. I am very careful about names and I said I dont want to post in 2+2 because I respect the person who introduced you but if you say this **** again i will

Then ''the person I respected'' and his friends got very angry when I turned down three offers to renew my contract and started spreading other lies. I decided to move on and I never talked to them again. Maybe I talked to one of them two times but that was it

Another poker player scammed me for 40k. I didnt want to post his name either. I dont want to ruin people and I am very careful when it matters

I scammed some people in pokerstrategy early in my career for 2k or so. I didnt think I did anything wrong because I lost the money playing poker. I talked to acbarone and I understood I was wrong. I had the balls to come forward, apologise and pay back with 10-20% interest on my initiative. Not even one person apologize to me

But these people took close to one million altogether from the 6 max hyper pool. I got informed that they played sats together(not all of them) as well and suprise suprise. When they play together they are crushers when they play alone they are average regs even with their 1.5-2 fish selection

I know I know, all poker players are honest and not shady at all but I will give the benefit of doubt to Pokerstars and I will say maaaaybe they are right

I cant wait to see what they will achieve with their legal action if they take one at all but I dont have anything to apologise for. I posted the facts I received from the best security department in all poker rooms which is trying actively to find people cheating and not allowing them to keep playing and a small part of facts I wanted to reveal

I can't comment on most of the accusations, but some of them are quite laughable.
The fact that zisimo has never used PIO surely does not surprise anyone who has regularly played with him, he's playing like a psycho maniac, but he has been successful with that throughout his career.

As much as for his online play: I was in London in 2016 while he was staying there as well and he invited me over to grind online at his place for a few days. I've played with him before and I knew he was playing differently than most other people but I was surprised he was playing hyper SNGs without even as much as a HUD, he said he never used any poker software though. I was watching him play and he was doing very well, game selecting a decent amount.
Granted this has was 2 years ago and things could obviously have changed.

I was kinda hooked on the games by watching and him and started registering a few 100-300s just for fun. After some time, by accident, I registered a 100$ one which he was sitting in and a few hours later his account was temporarily blocked from playing MTTs and SNGs. My account wasn't touched though. But just shows that Stars makes mistakes frequently enough as well. It took them about 24 hours to unban him iirc.

As much as for his live play: this is where you get really out of line imo, suggesting people would collude in live SNG and even MTT play. I've been at tables with Zisimo and GeoManousos before and if anything it seems like they like to go extra hard at each other, because they're both very competitive against one another and each one of them wants to be seen as the best Greek MTT player.

If you want to make this somehow fair you should at least provide screenshots of statistical evidence from your database of their online SNG plays/frequencies against one another and vs rest or something like that.

Seems absurdly ridiculous for 2p2 to leave these vague accusations plus pictures of the parties involved left to the open public.

Its not a post of accusations. Its a post of pokerstars FINAL decision after many months. You need to learn how to read

writing at all that Zisimo told you that Geo did something and then saying "but I'm not saying what" contradicts what you are saying amigo.

I have no idea if they are cheaters, really honest guys etc, I'm just saying I've enjoyed speaking with them before. just thought that saying zisimo is saying geo is cheating publicly (you admitted you weren't great friends so if he's telling you he's surely telling others too) is a really really huge thing, especially as they are best friends.

I wasn't hating on you btw, think your blog is fkn great!!!! keep up the good work

As i dont have proof i shouldnt have said that in first place. My bad

The party started already. Gortsos is the second greek guy writing on pokerstars chat that i am a snitch because i gave out greek guys and I am celebrating. I am not celebrating. I got cheated and I will not get my money back. I will be lucky if I get 20% of my money back. I will not get any of the additional time spent grinding to reach my yearly $ goals. My suggestion is to choose a better word

snitch = secretly tell someone in authority that someone else has done something bad, often in order to cause trouble

1) That implies that i knew they were cheating and I secretly betrayed them. I didnt. I had indications. If you guys are implying i am a snitch because i posted in 2+2 then yes, i secretly posted in the most secret poker forum in a secret blog which nobody reads

2) Gortsos willingness to protect some scammers is indicating the quality of his character. I am pretty sure if it was some british group all those greeks would have gone mad about uk cheating and how supportive are for my post. I dont think cheating has nationality neither I will be lenient when I got cheated for such a big amount. Give me one reason that I should show any kind of mercy when they showed none. Is there a code of honor because they are Greeks? Where was this ****ing code when they were cheating me, their compatriot? Manousos wrote ''my compatriot Belthazor''. My compatriot. Were we when he was cheating?

Gortsos full name and photo pls.

Thread took an interesting turn to say the least

For me that sharkscope graph where he's playing against 2 friends is proof enough. Odds of that being a chance event are astronomically low.

I am 100% sure, there is no way zisimo told you i was cheating in a serious mode. If indeed he told you that, it was on a fun way describing an upswing i have. He likes to use this exprassion , for example if someone makes an upswing on stars playing mtts, he goes like: wtf with this reg, is he cheating???

So stop saying this bull****…

[PHP][/PHP]

All my carrier Sngs are with 1,5-2 fishes except if a whale is playing..

All the sngs i have with gkap13 and farmjim(around 700 in total, from 10k+ Sngs i played lifetime since 2015) also include minimum 1,5-2 fishes. Plus farmjim its a recreational weaker player and gkap one of the weakest regs on sngs.


Posting those HHs just to saw you how psychotic and obsessed this person is… he makes some super -ev plays, making him losing $$$, just to see me losing…

So here in the 1st hand: He super light calls me just to see me bubble

https://imgur.com/PvjgpM7


He is supposed to call me 27.9%, 22+ Ax+ K7s+ K9o+ Q9s+ QJo JTs and calls me wi q6s( even with sb playing who is a nit fish and i am supposed to shove wider than optimal, q6s its an easy fold and he knows it..)

2nd hand: folds sb vs bb for a half of blind in a standard any two call, even if the nit fish in shoving 50% only, still this is an any two call..

https://imgur.com/26rBD6b


3rd hand: Btn shoves 83o when he is supposed to shove 46.0%, 33+ Ax+ K2s+ K3o+ Q3s+ Q6o+ J7s+ J8o+ T8s+ T9o 98s or a bit wider considering the nit fish playing on bb

https://imgur.com/1tiKNzL

Again same idea, he wants to double up the shortstack, so i have more chances to bubble 3rd..

He also did exactly the same plays in another sng but i could not remember the date

You can see the same pattern with every alias

Farmjim is a weak reg who was loading regularly. Stop the lies. I am not going to say why i did some stuff. I had one of the higher winrates if not the highest in hypers, definitely did something right. I am not here to educate you. You were table selecting all the time and you nearly scratched my winrate when you played without your friends. Much love. Dont forget, posting my hhs doesnt mean anything. I didnt ban you m8. Apparently you find it hard to understand this simple concept even though as i said i am extremely flattered that you think that

I am just dropping this here



But you are going to say yes variance. Zisimo's variance, yours variance, lets see what happens when gkap is playing with your group or without eh?

First line when he is playing with you guys



Well **** man, this rec is printing with you on the table at 6.9%

Nice boost on your roi when you played against your friends. Only if you could have this 8.7% without them I am playing sngs more than you and i doubt i found 800 games with farmjim+rec+1.5-2 fishes as you describe. I doubt i found even 200 of them but i am not going to search of course

Again there is much more into it than just sharkscope graphs or do you think pokerstars security looked at some sharkscope graphs and they were ''well ****, we have to ban them'' <3 That wouldnt take nine months imo. I honestly believe all these sharkscope graphs are either purely coincidence or arent tracked properly. Have you thought about taking legal action against sharkscope?
