Hey guys,

First of all i'd like to say that I do not know if this is allowed, or a smart thing to do, but I feel like it is. Also, please do not ***** on my grammar to much, I am not that great with the English language at times!

My name is Kevin, and a few years ago I was a well known player within the poker community, especially the Dutch one. I was known as Legendus on pokerstars, and been active on 2p2 as well. I was a kid, just 19 years old, playing a game which I really loved. Did not win that much, but hey, I had fun.

After a few months passed by, I went on probably one of the biggest heaters in my life, winning a lot of money for a kid my age. And with that, fame came as well. I was pretty overwelmed with all the attention I got, and pretty much loved it. People starting asking things of me, and because their well placed attention, I gave it to them. I felt on top of the world, and did not think anything would go wrong. I made it, right?

No, I didn't. Within the next few months, I started losing a lot of the money I won out of the MTTs I played. I randomly started playing PLO cashgames, combined with high stakes sngo's. And once I started losing, there was no way back anymore. I fell into a deeper and deeper hole, untill suddenly my bankroll was 0$ again. I felt lost, desperate, and had not felt anything like this before in my life. All those 'friends' I had a few months back, were suddenly all gone as well. They got what they wanted.

In my mind, I always wanted to go back to my highest point, having that 100k bankroll and being adored, on- and offline. I felt getting a stake was a great idea for me to start playing and winning again, and getting those $ back. Someone told me of 2p2, and the fact there are a lot of people there investing in good players. So, I applied, and pretty soon I got a few stakes.

Thats where all went wrong. I made many, MANY mistakes, and these were probably one of the worst of them. I got into a big argument with a guy here about our staking agreement, in which many people felt I found a loophole for me to scam him. Up till this day I do not completely agree, but I can understand why people were thinking this way.
Just a while later, I got a new stake. Great group of guys, but sure enough, I messed things up yet again. These guys I did scam, for an amount of about 3.5k$.

I went through hell, did not dare to show up on these forums or skype or whatsoever to even try and clear my name. Up till this day, it still has not ben resolved. That's where I feel I really need to step up now, and show Im still willing to make this right.

The last few years I havent been playing poker, at least not a lot. My image has been totally ruined because of all the stupid things ive done in my young poker years. I was 19 or 20 and was overwhelmed with all that happened to me. Not trying to search for any excuses, but man, its all so overwhelming indeed.

Luckily had a lot of help over the last few years, which made me to decide and open a topic here. Most people will probably judge me and think negative about me, I just want to try and get into contact with the guys I owe money to. It would mean a lot for me if I could try and clear my name, and try to set things right in a way.

The topics about me scamming are still on 2p2, and whenever you type in my name in Google it will automaticly pop up as well. I want to ask any of you guys, if you know the guys who im owed money, if you know their contact info. They havent been online in 3 years on 2p2, so its quite hard for me to find out if they are still active in the poker circuit.

For those who took the time to read my story, thanks. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Either here, or by PM.

Thanks!
Kevin
