LOL, I'll take it

Well that's understandable. I mean, some simple typos is all. Instead of "a lady who overplays hands" he obv just meant "a lady playing someone who overplays hands," and then he accidentally switched two letters in the hand history. This one is clearly nothing more than misremembering where certain letters are on the keyboard, so let's just forget it and move on.

Also, I feel obligated to mention that I was drunk last night, for no particular reason.

^^^^
Busting 100k games would make me want to get drunk aswelll

Well played.

Yeah that hh is ridiculous. Some rando woman just 4 bet induces with good sizing with AQo for 65+ bbs.

Javatinii sent me a message on FB to check out this thread, I had been following it indepedently. He mentioned something about it involving one of our friends and a bust out hand with Owais. I can say that Javatinii and the woman involved in the second hand would have no reason to lie about this.

It's crazy to me that not only does Owais lie about the hand, he says basically the other person in the hand is bad (overplays her hands) and also tries to set up this dynamic that it's ok for him to go broke there.

Owais, just come clean and stop doing such things. It's ok to bust tournaments. It's ok to not feel good about your play. It's not ok to lie to the people that staked you.

This thread keeps getting better and better and I'm sure there's bigger dirt out there that hasn't been told yet. I think lying about an old lady's hand who outplayed him is worse than the aa 22 hand.

Nobody shocked @ the old lady cold 4bet/call with AK? Grandmas getting agro and not speculating preflop anymore, what has the world come to...#nomoneyinpoker #everyone'solid

loloooolool

Well, the 100k+ people who download our show hear the story in this week's Pokercast

So I read this thread and decided the OP made a small mistake and I decided to take no action.

Edit: Wait, I mis-remembered, I actually removed his Marketplace Approval, he can re-apply after 6 months.

You and Vanessa win this thread. Congrats.

Just wow at this thread, I was in the same camp as many thinking that he had made a silly mistake by lying and then refused to own up to it when caught in the lie. After the second story about the AQ v AK hand I'm really blown away someone would go to such lengths to deceive people that trusted him with their money.

If I thought a player was a good investment and they posted something like "hey I ****ed up my bust hand" I definitely wouldn't think less of them and wouldn't even be discouraged from buying their action in the future. I can't imagine trusting Owais after this whole mess though, it is really unfortunate that he felt the need to lie about his bustout hands.

I think its more likely than most ppl think that he subconsciously rewrote the hh or something since he couldn't consciously cope with the fact that he got his stack in w/ 5% equity in a 10k. There was a study which asked ppl where they were the day after 9/11 then two years later asked them again and a ridiculously high % were wrong even though they were positive they were right and could recall the most minute details.
Still like 90% a lie though.

This wasn't 2 years later though. this was the next day. Very different. And it's not like he thought he lost to 2 pair but the guy had a set...He said he took a bad beat when in reality he got it in way behind. Those two things feel very different at the table. When you get it in way ahead and lose to trip queens on the river, you feel a much different feeling than when you get it in behind and still lose. There is almost no way that he "thought" he took a bad beat less than 24 hours later after Gostatego already pointed out that he clearly knew he was behind and packed up to leave on the turn. The mind doesn't just erase something like that so quickly, unless of course you have some serious emotional problems

I hate when people try to validate themselves as poker players by talking about how awful other people play.

We can't just let this thing off the first page!

Lol, yeah I thought 2+2 went down at a convenient time for this dude.

haha i was wondering who would do the honor

Wow at thread

lol bumping this even tho it's gonna push my wsop thread back to the 2nd page. such a ridic thread.

This is really spot on, and I believe you can draw an easy comparison. I've played live poker quite a bit this year and there are people who consider themselves very good players and wear sunglasses who will stare you down in order to get a read then make the absolute worst decision possible nearly every time. That's pretty much exactly what happened in this thread.
