Judging by the tempo he speaks and how well he articulates, Haseeb came off as a really smart person. Not often you see guys who emanate such a strong aura of sheer intellect. Only Ben86 comes to mind from previous podcast guests with similar qualities, maybe Haralabob too.

No level. I never really followed the Girah scandal as it was happening, so I didn't form any opinions on people involved back then.

I've never been big on hanging out with other poker players, but Ben86/Haseeb seem the personality types I would get along with very well.

Or maybe Haseeb is just that much of a sociopath that he got me completely fooled. But I doubt it. Seemed honest and even-keeled.

Fedor is actually playing jungle at 50/100 HUNL? The running hot MTT player delusion is strong in this one right now.

he seemed dishonest, sociopathic, and damn near could have fooled me into believing he was F. Scott Fitzgerald after his running bet with Ashton G.

Many good (and controversial) points in the Haseeb podcast. Especially talking about the tech/business/startup-stuff I think Haseeb where spot on in a lot areas and highlighted some overlooked aspects. Well done, both!

Looking forward to the Haseeb one

Just finished the Busquet one now. I worked for a hedge fund too (but before i was interested in poker). The other junior developer and I were pretty amused that their IT policy we had to sign said "it is strictly forbidden to use the computers for gambling" when pretty much that was the only thing computers in a technical analysis hedge fund are used for.

I remember being blown away when I realised HQ's Deuces Cracked videos were being made by a teenager. I then didn;t really encounter him again until the Girah scandal. My take from it and whatever the other time he blew up NVG was, was that he is super smart but that's both his great strength and his undoing. It made him overconfident and led him into making stupid and unethical decisions, and then into compounding it by doing the same again once things started coming to light. JM's anecdote about him at the border sort of supports that idea. I think it's pretty clear that most of the Girah conspiracy theories are nonsense, that at heart Girah was the scammer, HQ was drawn in by his arrogance and overconfidence, and JM then by his naivety and trust in his friends.

I started listening to his episode thinking it would be an interesting study in psychology, but lasted about 30 minutes.

Joey, a P0krparty would be an epic stream. Also have you ever reached out to isildur? He's been a bit more interactive in the last year or so with the stuff at unibet so maybe he would be interested?

It wouldn't even take more than a days worth of coding to implement, if not a foolproof solution, but a pretty solid workaround to prevent those problems.

Epic show with Alex Scott of Microgaming.

I'm researching now, but to my knowledge this the first time any online poker operator rep has discussed bot & collusion issues so openly?

Hey Joey, can you PM me Alex' e-mail address? (Or if he's reading he can PM me as well.)
Regarding the seating script workaround.
