I'm willing to believe that he wasn't. With the erratic communication lag and then his sudden departure from 2p2 it looked like a possibility, and there was no way I could be sure.
In my view, I was blown off about this for three plus months. We did agree to rollover the BAP. He apparently forgot about it. I'm fine with that.

He's now sent back the original investment, which I didn't even expect, given his sudden departure from these forums.

Also, I've already PMed Rainbow Warrior requesting that it be known that I consider the matter to be settled, AND in fairness asked him to remove the last two sentences as they were purely my admittedly unnecessary speculation.

This guy just scammed me for $600, promising stats, total degen gambler. Didn't see this and he contacted me through 2p2.

Halengoil on PS, he didn't post in my thread looking for stakes. Oh well.

Same basic story with me also. Scammed me for $300. Romits on PS.

Horse initially unable to play due to chargebacks associated with his name on the network. Little (and poor) communication while that was resolved. As soon as he was able to play, he played outside of agreed limits, and never reported results. He’s now entirely out of contact, having never returned the remainder of the stake money.

Not sure if this is an appropriate spot for it, but PimpJzH on Stars and FTP rolled me on PTP. I am only posting it here since I saw in the past he applied for staking here for a run at SNE. His 2p2 user id is ItsJzH. The money he rolled me was 100% on Stars post BF and I am sure he took it off line. I gave him the opportunity to pay me back when I was in Las Vegas this June, but he never responded.

Thread on 2p2 where he was looking for staking.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/13...er-sne-941421/

Since I just found him today on 2p2, I figured I would make this post and send him a link to it in hopes of resolving the issue quickly. I will post an update when I have one.

Stragerpoker on Pokerstars

Skype name : konsttsk


He agreed to play 1k 3+Rs for us at 50-50. The stake started on July 29th 2011

We sent him $700. Today, his stats are

stragerpoker 160 $2.6 $10 20% $421 Super Tilt N/A PokerStars 7/29/2011 8/3/2011 E180-180 Rebuys Only

Today, he asks for $300 more and says his account has $6....

I'm truly surprised that someone with 110k profit will damage his reputation for $700, but I guess, douchebags will be douchebags.
(stragerpoker 42,879 $2.6 $15 24% $111,248 - 80 PokerStars)

I'll update this thread if there's any new developments.

There's about a 90% chance that he's not scamming you, he just rebuys way too much.

Sharkscope doesn't allow for rebuys on an individual basis, they just use an average for the whole tournament. Staking people with lots of rebuys is very risky because you never know their true ROI. Rebuying a **** ton, and being mediocre at poker can produce some really pretty graphs.

Ask for an account audit, make sure he didn't scam, reply here, then stop backing him b/c he's an idiot.

Hey. Thanks for your post. Nah, I'm pretty sure I got scammed. He doesn't even reply on skype. I've linked him to this thread / asked him for an audit, no answer at all.

He agreed to play 10k 180's for us at 50-50. The stake started on May 23rd. He completely disappeared for a month from the tables (from June 25th to July 27th), then came back and started playing other games. We haven't heard from him yet.

He owes $450

He was playing 2.50-180's / 8-180's on stake. Then he cut communication completely, and has played MTTs too. If anything comes up, I'll update here.

He owes us $400

Some rebuy a lot more than the average, but there is almost no way that the guy rebought THAT much more in that sample size. But yeah in future ask for an audit if that comes up, it would be a bit more than average sometimes but never that much =/

We took on this idiot because it seemed he had potential. Sent him $100, never heard back from him again. Small loss obv, but hopefully doesn't get free money from any of you guys.

Hi. I think you made a mistake on the url here, it's gunofa's.

He was playing 2.50's for us. Bright kid. Seemed to be getting the hang of it... then gambled (played hyperturbos without autorization / got hooked on them), lost $300 of our money. Dropped him obv.


K, that's all I got for now

From this thread:

We have been in contact with Stragerpoker after seeing him grinding on the tables, after a small chat we asked him to show us a gesture of good will by sending us $250 and then setting up a payment plan to pay back the rest of the money owed.

He has agreed to pay the outstanding $450 by friday this week (August 12th). I will update as soon as the last payment is received.

OK, as any impartial observer would agree, you are basically a scamster.
I have no doubt that your pokerstars records will show that you used my
money to play your recent MTTs. You have stolen from me, and it seems
that you have a bit of a track record.

I'm also pretty sure that fraud and theft are illegal in the
Netherlands, so on Monday I will be calling this number
http://www.politie.nl/english/ and I will have put together a thorough
guide for what the police should look for when they are investigating
you. You are no different from the Nigerian scamsters who say they need
a deposit to do one thing, but steal it instead.

Morrison Jie, Alkmaar right?

=======================================

I will keep you all updated. If the money isn't in my account by tonight you know what I'll be doing.

Last time he played was 34 days ago. By our records, his account should have $220 and he owes us $400. He was having issues with his eyes + migraines, but that's no excuse to not log-in for 5 minutes to let us know what's up / send the $$ back.

Will update thread if anything comes up.
