Ok there is the theory that DIH is borderline brokeish right? Which would explain him being a 2/5 and 5/10 reg at the Aria this summer, but how in the hell is he gonna also stake someone at HSNL while playing 2/5? Something doesn't make sense.

He may have just been using that as an excuse then, I'm not sure, but I remember him deflecting a lot of things saying that he was busy with exams. Coaching, playing on the stake, writing on his blog, etc.

I'm pretty hazy with the exact dates, but he was definitely saying that while I was in Vegas and with regards to him coming out and visiting us.

well that at least legitimates him as a real kid! woo!

this this this this this this this

And even more damning than the initial lie is how he reacted when he realized the evidence was already out there. Even if you managed to totally forget you've done it, once you do have the proof shown to you your subsequent reaction is not "oh yeah, maybe I did that once or twice". He knows exactly how many times he did it (unless the exact number is well beyond "once or twice") and what the circumstances were. This is so so so deceptive and shady.

To be fair, I was working closely with him for a pretty long stretch of time. There are definitely things I am going to not remember, or that I might remember if my memory is jogged.

Yes, there was a girl who helped us out off and on who I know well. All she did was edit stuff, give him career advice, and help him get setup with Twitter and those sorts of things. I am not going to write anything further about her because she's not part of the poker world and has **** all to do with this, but I know her personally and she was helping out as a favor to me.

I don't remember how many times I logged into his account. It could be twice, it could be five times. I really have no idea and it wasn't particularly memorable or a big deal to me, given that a lot of the times he'd ask me how to respond to people anyway and I'd edit a lot of his posts and whatnot to begin with. If you can imagine what that's like, you can imagine that logging into somebody's account is not really a hugely memorable thing. If I were logging into the account of someone I didn't know at all and posted on it, I'd probably remember that a lot better.

Take that for what it's worth I guess.

Which chat scenario is more likely?

Dog: I need to make a post on your account.
Girah: OK
Dog: What is your password?
Girah: XXXXXXXX
Dog: I'm not sure I can type that. Can you change it to something better?
Girah: OK, I just changed it to dogishead
Dog: Thx. Post finished, you can change your password back now.
Girah: Done. Just let me know if you need to have it changed again.

or

Dog: I need to make a post on your account.
Girah: OK
Dog: What is your password?
Girah: XXXXXXXX
Dog: Thx

thats re: jungleman. sry about that, its just that Haseeb seems deadset to include jungleman in every post about his life, so, y'know...

Here's an example of Jose's stupidity and how I was helping him along. In the original thread when he came out, Jose became very furious at all of the people who were naysaying and claiming he wasn't real. My friend and I were advising Jose to just shut up, lie back, and ignore the naysayers, as nothing good would come out of it and trying to prove himself would only fuel the fire. He was insistent on contacting individual people and Skyping them to prove he was real, even going so far as promising someone he'd show him his driver's license to prove he was who he said he was. He did **** like this all the time and didn't realize what a really stupid idea that was.

You can see if you look back on the original thread that he posted under Girah, midway through the thread some of the initial naysayers post that they were turned around when Girah contacted them and videoskyped with them and showed them his ID and ****, but after that we told him not to do it again. He was always really upset by naysayers and flamers, and would often post stupid or incendiary things unless we explicitly told him not to.

So I helped him to write a lot of the stuff and gave him often specific advice on how to carry himself.

The more I think about this, the more it implicates JM as playing on Joses accounts or whatever. DIH might of been the mastermind and the one talking on skype some of the time or whatever. But the fact is JM has lots of $ and it appears DIH and Jose dont. Also the fact that they were planning on moving to live with Jose makes even more sense....

so far it has gone from you never posting on his account, to a quick ninja edit saying maybe once or twice you don't remember, to you now referencing the 'times' that you logged into his account, implying not once or twice but several.

Not only this but the mod has now said that at least one of these occasions was pretty recently only 2-3 months ago, seems like this is somthing you should remember somewhat well.

On top of this you are now asking for the mod to basically release all the info he has, perhaps so that you don't mess up again in the future.

I find it very hard to believe that you felt it unecessary to spend a long moment recalling any possible times you may have posted from his account before categorically stating that you hadn't. When your character is being questioned you would think you would do everything you can to recall exactly what happened before making a public post about it. Instead you seem to provide the minimum amount of info in every cricumsatnce until it is proven otherwise at which point you change your story and pass it off as just not remembering.

I strongly recommend that before answering a question you fully think back to all your encounters with Jose and then click submit because any change in your story is going to reflect incredibly badly on your character right now, and so far there have been at least a handful of subtle changes to your origional post on your blog and various posts made in this forum.

Please try to recall the content of the posts that you wrote for him and to the best of your knowledge why you made them and not him. It should not be that difficult to at least remember some of or all of the content of at least a handful of these posts, given that they were most likely extended posts and not short one or two line posts.

He already said that he was a 5/10 reg because he'd played next to no live poker before. Not saying that's what you should believe, but he's already posted an answer to your second last post.

Ok I think some people are really taking this a little too far. Who cares if DIH used the original pw to log on to the Girah account or if the pw was changed simply in order for him to do it...Give it a break and focus on more important aspects.

IMO, Haseeb is doing a decent job calmly replying to a lot of the accusations. I am just as skeptical as most of you are, but we need to give him the time to defend himself properly.

As much as it's not really a big deal compared to the bigger picture of accusations ITT, it's impossible that you could've forgotten that you logged into his 2p2 account, under a temporary password he gives you that you are certain is temporary, and posted several (1-5?) times. This isn't the kind of thing you completely forget, so your original post about never having used the 'girah' account was clearly an intentional lie. It may be true that you only posted a few times, and these posts might have been small, irrelevant ones. Still, when you first stated that you had never posted under that account, you must've known you were lying, if only for convenience and not for any malicious reasons.

Also I don't see why you are so confused that Jose might have been in Vegas at the same time as you. The guy orchestrated a massive deadbeat scam where he stole tens of thousands of dollars from HSNL regs. The skypechats that were revealed that he was not emotionally stable.

This news, if you were unaware of it, should obviously be completely shocking to you and change your entire perception of Jose, and make you question and rethink your entire relationship and online conversations. Why do you still want to believe that he was always honest with you, or would have told you about coming to Vegas during the series?

Also Haseeb, have you spoken to Girah since this ish happened? Is he alive? Serious question.

DiH,
is there ANY evidence about the fact he got scammed by his own uncle? i dont know the whole story but it really sounds weird to me, do you think he may have brought this up to get an excuse for getting staked by you?

I wonder why no portuguese poker players that know him personally raised their voice. there HAVE to be people here on 2p2 that know him in person imo.

+1

Big picture, people, please.

I dont believe it, and frankly I heard he played mostly 2/5.. I mean I dont care if you have never played live If you have any money and are someone as successful as DIH, you dont play 2/5nl.

You're very right, I'm not doing a great job and I can understand why it looks pretty suspect. I've been trying to answer all of the questions (there are a lot and I hadn't checked this thread again since this morning) as quickly as I can. But you're claiming that I'm changing my story around here - I don't believe I am. The only thing I have contradicted in my story is that I posted on his account a few times, which I didn't remember before. What are some other contradictions you've noted?

I do not remember what posts I posted on his account. I could tell you which of his posts I had a hand in and which ones I didn't in terms of composition, but in terms of memory, I don't actually remember which specific posts I made on his account. Again, I know that sounds really bad, but I am trying to be as honest as I can here.

I'm going to step out for a bit, but if anyone has any further questions, please make them clear and numbered if there are more than one, and be sure that they have not been previously answered, and I'll try to answer them when I next can.

dogishead why are you not answering any questions about the 1300 hands you played on lock poker under Girah's account?

Who did you play HU PLO? How long was the session? Had you played on merge before? Had you played vs this opponent before?

In your blog post it made it sound like you just lost a couple of flips and played a few hands and quit. You also say that you think it's no big deal because you think your opponents would have preferred to have played against DOGISHEAD rather than Girah.

But according to the screenshots, you lost $36k in a 1300 hand HU PLO session. Girah is a 6-max player. You are a heads up specialist. It doesn't seem to match what you wrote on your blog.

It's also quite a co-incidence that the one time ever you choose to multiaccount is unfortunately during a compeition where Girah's account would be audited and you are caught out and Girah has to come clean and post screenshots.

It's some what important in that it could prove yet another blatant lie from DiH, which would furthus implicate him in some attempt to cover up a much larger scam

you need to stop lying about the little **** like MA'ing 2p2 and playing on euro sites if you're going to keep whatever credibility you have left that separates you from the blatant cheating, imo

The devil is in the details, especially in a situation like this

If you think about it from his perspective, it doesn't make sense. If he was trying to scam people all along, then being related to me and Jungle would be his biggest incentive to coming out to Vegas, no? Getting some pictures taken or talking about it or whatever. He would legitimize himself substantially by being seen with us or being around us in person. This is clearly true, and one of the reasons why I find it difficult to believe (not because I think he's super honest with me or likes me, but because he would have so much direct incentive to do so, and seemingly little incentive to do otherwise).

I played 2/5 at first, for the first 3-4 sessions, then I played 5/10 whenever it was running. There were definitely some 5/10 regs there who can attest to that, but I don't know their online names? Either way it's pretty irrelevant. I am very not broke, and anybody who claims otherwise really has no idea what they're talking about. There are people who know, and apparently none of them have been consulted once my finances have been brought into question, which is pretty unfair.

I suppose not technically. It's possible, but given how much time we spent interacting before we reached any real agreements or were even close to the point of working together, it seems odd. I have trouble imagining that he was setting me up for some kind of con as helping him out, as I was originally averse to the idea anyway. And why wouldn't he just want to have a straight-up poker agent do so? He could not have known at that time that I'd be competent at that sort of thing. He told other people as well afaik.

He is alive. He is helping to pay people back, but since I've heard, yesterday he has left on what he called a "vacation" and has been hard to reach. He told me before all of this broke that he was going to take time off poker and just be with his girlfriend and get away from all of this.

jesus, i feel like someone should tell her

DIH, PLease dont forget to answer these questions when you return.

Im sure you can give us the screen names of the players so we can check how long the sessions were.
