This brings up another point. The people on 2 plus 2 are the most self-righteous holier than though, pretentious, arrogant, know it alls Ive seen in my life. You people must be impossible to be around in real life. Even response I have gotten has been this "talked down to" or sarcastic bs. You may be good at poker but you suck at life.

yea, poor scammer

lol and this guy was criticizing other players poker skills and calling them fish (even winning 100s regs lol)

Joe wont have a rational or reasonable answer... like his thoughts on social or political discussion.

you must be new to the Internet sir

lol scammer

recover? for stealing stake money and donking it off and leaving Xereles out to dry??

damn, how did you know?!

poor scammer....screw the haters joe!

yea def.

lol really? he lost someone elses money not his own. What better time is there to kick someone?

lol I mean, Brocky I appreciate your willingness to make things right, don't get me wrong...

... but Joe was pretty funny. =P

To be honest, you're getting a surprisingly positive treatment here, much of it due to your timely confession and promise to make things right, so it's partly your doing, but you have to realize that you're still in the wrong here and be ready to receive some pretty harsh comments. If you want to prove them wrong, do it through action and not arguing about how human and understandable your mistakes were (not saying they aren't) or how you're going to make things right (I do believe you plan on doing so) because ultimately those are just words.

It's probably best for you to say little until you've done your part and have more than words to show for your repentance.


I agree it can feel harsh, as I assume Brocky's emotional state must be quite bad for him to have reached this point in the first place, but people didn't feel bad for me when I was receiving death threats and having close to a nervous breakdown. They aren't obliged to feel sorry for someone who's in the wrong. I mean, I don't agree with that sentiment, and I am pleasantly surprised that people here are willing to not completely pile on brocky, but that's really how it works very often on 2+2. I don't think people in this thread have been harsh at all. Joe poked fun at Brocky, and others have said that he's a bit douchy on forums or a bad player, yeah, sure, but people say these things even when scams are NOT involved, so what do you expect when he did in fact scam someone? Furthermore, nobody even came close to saying anything really cruel or hostile like "Brocky's full of ****, he's just buying time" or "lololol he's clearly a psychopath" etcetcetc.

btw... hahaha nice one.

You guys are leveling or what? This is an obv reference to no money headsup thread/you may be good at poker song...?

Nobody's kneeling down in front of a shrine and chanting out Brocky's name in glory for that. People are, however, trying to give him a chance to redeem himself, as posting on this thread + apologizing + (ostensibly) planning to get things sorted out requires a great deal of character.

Obviously this situation is nobody's fault but his, and he has some serious BRM/tilt issues to iron out, but the fact that he's doing all this means he deserves more than some "self-righteous holier than though, pretentious, arrogant, know it alls" (+1) berating him, not least over a naive strategy thread posted 6 months ago.

This is so unbelievably true.

not sure if this was intentional. also, im good at life tyvm.

its kind of the opposite he sucks at poker but is good at life

also, brocky, any plan on how youre going to try and pay xereles back? genuinely curious

Going out of one's way to bring others down to bring themselves up is pretty low and degenerate. But it's human nature to point out the shortcoming of others to make their own petty lives seem meaningful right?

lol go play pop pyschologist somewhere else. have you even talked with xereles? oh no, you havent? good input tho. keep defending scammers cause i'm being mean? wtf, listen to yourself.

this thread should have ended with skais post.

but my life is so bad ill just continue to troll 2p2 to make myself feel better, mmkay?

Thanks dad....I'm not a lifer on these forums, so pardon me if I didn't adhere at first. Note the first response was very very douchy. Other replies were also very condescending if you read closely. I'm talking about a general attitude...not my posts but just other threads. I just think it's lame to treat others that way..

i think its lame to scam someone i like.

That's the exact pompous crap which is really annoying. Get over yourself.

yo when you do something like this you should basically bend over and take all sorts of wordly abuse without protesting..
you're not trolling are you?

no gimmick. it's real. you all are condescending pricks.

lol im kinda just trolling you now, but seriously you guys make no sense. some guy who is busto basically steals 5k from a well respected person. he comes on and posts hey guise, really sorry, ill pay him back. how exactly do you think he'll pay him back? grinding micros? weve already established hes not a poker genius. 5k is a lot of money. and like, if by some miracle he does pay xereles back, it will be months and months later so basically xereles is floating this guy 5k and has to deal with all this hassle. you guys are so wrong here, its not even funny.

GUYS HE SAID HES SORRY!! big **** deal. and its not like this was random spur of the moment, i lost control tilt. he blocked his stats and purposefully deceived xereles. also, he played two full mtt schedules, so it sounds like this happened over a few weeks or at least a sunday to sunday. its so easy to be honest in online poker. don't ****ing stand up for a person who is a lying pos. if you cant understand that, then i dunno what to tell you. it seems like you dont like me cause im friends with mrgolrang. i didnt even take a side in that little spat, i was indifferent the whole time. but seriously, if you act like an *******, expect to be treated like one.

and you really need to stop with the whole analyzing into my life thing. you just make yourself look like an idiot when you do that. mmkay?

i cant tell if you guys are levelling, cause if you arent youre really really dumb. antoinedodson.jpg. im condescending, sure. ill admit that sometimes, but only to people who deserve it. also, this is an online forum. do you not understand that. also, this guy was an idiot for more than just posting stupid strat. i feel like he was tallking **** etc too. also, spurs suck.

Xer I hope you get money back. Brocky was douche. I thought JP was spot on with his link--Brocky was playing high stakes and not knowing what he was doing seemed to highlight the points made against him well--and used a crazychips quote as a level to point this out.

Then it went far over Bunza's head so i thought i should make the level more obvious by again quoting crazychips.

Then i leveled JP, so I thought, hm how long can I be keep on a conversation while only using crazychips quotes?

And then I realized long enough to derail thread pretty hard

Sorry Xer.
I really hope everything turns out well for you in the end.

Brocky I hope you learn some discipline and some respect for other peoples money--someone believed in you and you disappointed hardcore I really hope you make things right.

Also, sorry JP. I didn't mean to level you so hard that you had to write a novel to explain yourself

Also only <3 for you JP, and mad respect as a player and a poster--you're a rock man, I've been following your progress as a player since reading your posts in the old tilt thread and I look up to you a ton.

I mean I knew but later on you stopped using quotes, you leveled but you cheated to do it imo.

im really happy you were levelling, i had respect for you b4

no all were direct crazy chips quotes, just from the no money heads up thread and not from the music video that was based on the thread
that is until I started feeling bad and unlevelled.

yeah i had respect for you too--b4 you fell so hard for a level
