Bill Perkins Says Poker Heroes Involved Serious Cheating. Bilzerian Spills the Beans-Post 503 - Page 3 - Poker News

If Koon was a pro who was tempted, I'm inclined to believe it could be modern poker heroes. Could be the Triton group for sure, that's a likely candidate, and Koon has played in those games so it makes sense.

Could add to app game speculation , poker heros?

(pure speculation , in for fun drama thread hopefully nothing too bad happened that will hurt poker as a whole)

With Koon being absolved, you'd think it has something to do with either Triton or partypoker. But JMO speculates another possibility...

To clarify it seems weird that he’s jumping all over the potential scandal, and he seems to be somewhat tight with Perkins. Basically he’s probably far removed from any cheating because why would you need to cheat Jaime Staples? Maybe this is Party-related?

Party Poker seems unlikely. They are a regulated, publicly traded corporation.

likely Triton live play i'd assume. Brynn Kenny is an interesting name.

How much money is worth your reputation? Everyone has a price I guess. Seems so wild to me. Some pros can make a very good living playing the game legitimately, why risk trashing your name for a few extra million or whatever it was?

Poker boom doesn't need bad press, hope this is something private game related and not another super user. Has to be a poker app. Maybe this will drive regulations and legalization?

It probably has to do with liveplay (maybe poker apps) or it wouldn't be Perkins breaking the news about an online poker scandal in a major site.

would be a huge let down if it's some mixed game player cheating on some stupid app

So it's Triton or one of the unregulated poker apps.

Triton is one of the biggest names in poker in recent years, I doubt its about them or joey would be going nuts / not saying it isnt about any of the big sites imo

Considering quarantine its gotta be a private app 'scandal / scam' if i was betting and that a lot of ppl are speculating
