Did he collect his winnings?

Another Wikipedia lawyer. If you are an accomplished player you should be embarrassed to actually ask me to stop posting. If I was licensed in the State of Nevada I would file suit pro bono for the alleged cheater if it was determined that he did not cheat. What if I started a thread stating that Connor Drinan cheats at poker and my supposed evidence is the way he plays his hands, the questions he asks at the table, the way he looks at my cards and the type of glasses he wears. This whole thread is a crock of sh.t. If you have a suspicion of cheating you file that complaint with the WSOP and NGC and let them do there jobs. At this time they have already determined that the cards have not been marked or altered which goes to the crux of the cheating allegation. Moreover the guy kicked Kaverman's butt on the felt while under extreme scrutiny.

As for defamation of character and libel per se I would suggest you go to the Acme School of Law and hang a shingle. You should represent Connor and any other poker pros accusing someone of cheating in a public forum. If there is no evidence of cheating it is a slam dunk case in Nevada and harm is quite easy to prove. You can start with the WSOP freezing his assets. If you do not like the posts then do not respond. I am not going to kiss some idiots butt because everyone else wants to vilify a person without evidence. Now if there is direct evidence I will be the first to say string him up by his balls. But these accusations at this time are not based in fact and have gone way to far without any substantive proof.

dude you are terrible.
your posts are worse.

The lens is more opaque at the top than at the bottom. The dealer and his hands are reflected by the lens, but the dark circle beneath Coca's eyelid is also transmitted through the lens, and it appears defocused within the circle.

.

Yeah,stop posting.
Don't you remember what you learned about self incrimination in De Vry Law class/podcast?

RJP, is it defamation to go on here and say your posts suck and you're bad at posting?

Follow or fear the message in this idiotic post and the UB/AP scandal never comes to light.

Yeah you're prob right they just got owned, I don't really see anything definite here.. That being said I want the truth more than anything. All of this is really interesting either way, but moreso if he did cheat. Finding out how he did it would be cool. And I meant all these scandals going on in general, but that might be just because I find these cheating stories more interesting.

100% agreed. Money is the root of all evil. It's hard to stop this type of crap from happening when you have tools at the sites not only stopping this crap from happening but endorsing it, and justifying it. Why is the rec player dwindling fast? Because they are not protected AT ALL from the minority who have these tools at there disposal and are protected by the pokersite because they make money from it.

there is something next to the dealer that makes that reflections a couple of you want to believe is an added layer/lense. dont underetimate 5 HU players playing 10k tourneys, at least one of them wouldve notice an extra contact lens fixed to the sunglasses, lol.

if there was (im sure) a lens that helped him see some sort of hidden ink - was def. in his eyes and the sunglasses was just to hide his eyes more or less.

or there is a pokerdealer-shaped contact lens glued to the right lense of his sunglasses.

Again there is not enough detail to actually, conclusively see anything. You are confusing shadows and reflections that have been distorted by lossy compression and resizing algorithms for actual things (When you blow up a picture in an image editing program, it has to extrapolate the contents of pixels in-between based on surrounding ones. Essentially it is guessing at what's there)


If there really was something visible under those sunglasses it would have been plainly obvious to the guy seated across the table.

Why not just file that puppy right there in Florida? Alleged defamation occurred on a message board on the intertron. No need to mess with getting licensed in Nevada. File away!

Of course that would be really stupid because then your client would have to sit for a deposition and explain all of this under oath. So then he'd be facing perjury charges in addition to whatever charges the NGC drops on his ass. You'd probably get to try your case to a Florida (or if you decide to go through with getting licensed there, Nevada) jury. I'm sure they'd love to hear how your Eastern European client is as pure as the driven snow before pouring him out. Side note: do you think a Nevada jury panel is going to be pro or anti cheaters who bring a bad name to their states number one job source?

All in all, I'd say you've come up with absolute worst legal strategy possible. So you've accomplished that.

this - probably

Remember guys....innocent until proven guilty...

jk we're in America.

If a person uses your rationale then Phil Ivey should never be allowed to set foot in any US casino let alone play another WSOP event. Phil has admitted to cheating(he calls it using an advantage) when requesting to use specific cards that he knew had a defect which allowed him to have a 6.5 percent edge when playing baccarat. Her already lost a 12 million dollar lawsuit in Great Britain and the Borgota has sued him for 9.7 million dollars. Yes, he used that back of the card defect, which is not cheating according to him, to make almost 10 million dollars in mini baccarat in 17 hours. Ivey has been banned by numerous GB casinos and the Borgata so according to the logic in this thread then he should be banned everywhere. Once a cheat always a cheat from what I read in these posts. Why don't all of these named pros approach Phil at the WSOP and let him know that he is a cheat according to the GB court and the Borgata. The Borgota goes to a phone hearing on July 15th and hopefully Ivey settles as it would be awesome to hear him tell a NJ jury that exploiting a card defect for 10 million is not cheating. Oh, I will keep posting when it comes to people accusing other people of cheating with no proof.

thread is now complete with the ambulance chaser lawyer joining the fray.

In Las Vegas if the person publishing the information believes it to be true then its not a crime. Or if he didn't do so maliciously then the state of Nevada can't prove the crime of libel beyond reasonable doubt.

Are you real? My post was about defamation law, nothing to do with casino bans.

There are many professional poker players in the world. The very best is far, far better than the very worst; yet, they both can call themselves professionals.

The same holds true for lawyers.

Our friend RJPoker may be slotted on a much lower rung than he believes.

So dumb that this guy thought the absolute best HU players in the world wouldnt instantly be onto him half way through the first match.

Is it just me or is this event in particular the worst possible one to choose to do something like this and possibly get away with it?

Another pic of him at the 10k hu. I feel like there is something wrong with him
