Postle was the best thread sweat this site has had in a looooooong time ... this one has potential but with Perkins at the helm I have a strong feeling we're gonna get The Marf II : Poker Heroes Rly? 50/50 Split? WTF

I don't think even that's a good reason, by being as vague as he is it's led to baseless speculation against Galfond, Party, etc. If you don't want to soil the reputations of those that don't deserve it you should at least be specific enough to absolve the guy you're playing a HU match against who runs a poker site.

Yeah this doesn't look nearly as exciting until names drop. Then the real fun begins

Re: critiakx2 - Yes, very much agree.

Hot take - Are we really stroking Koon simply because he didn’t act like a total scumbag?
Good job Koon...

He's more likelier to be laundering his Dad's money than likely to be the biggest winner in poker history.

My question is why Koon didn't blow the whistle to begin with and why it had to be Bill. That's my curiosity at the moment.

Because snitches get stitches

Joey Ingram hinted that this was likely PPP/Bros/Upoker/GG related. Was this baseless speculation based on whats probable? Given the largely unregulated nature of these apps I wouldn't be surprised that theres a POTRIPPER style scam going on across multiple app platforms.

I don't know of a single pro who could take Koon in a fight

Dan Blizzzzzz Bruuhhhhhh?

Depending on the breadth and complexity of the scam, the ramifications of outing this would likely go beyond a simple fist fight. Could be anywhere from blows to what happened to Epstein. But we're unlikely to know any of this until we get more info. Comon Bill

Olivier Busquet

Yeah who really knows at this point. If it's as big as Bill says it is, I wouldn't be surprised if threats were issued among the people who were in the know.

Olivier did come to mind actually, kudos

IMO those who keep up with "poker world" current events could really use some clarification on this topic as soon as possible. Hopefully something superior to the slow news dingleberry drip that's going on in the Stones Gambling Hall scandal that this cheating is being compared to.

As other posters are bringing up ITT: the immediate, rampant speculation (both here and on Twitter) that has occurred in the minutes/hours after Bill Perkins' tweet is a net negative, even if it was an unintended (albeit logical and completely foreseeable) consequence.

"Poker heroes" and "cheating" make for very interesting speculation, but Bill Perkins could really advance the issue by at the very least defining the "who" and "what" more clearly (imo).

dhebermex/OP i for one am very impressed you took Perkins term >poker heroes< and put inverted commas around it


You beat my post by like 15 seconds there ^^

Who was that pro who turned to mma back in the day, even fought on a couple of cards in asia, Asian dude who used to be on the 2p2 podcast? Pretty sure he could **** Koon up..

2+2 poster martinmarto actually got in three minutes before I did with the word "heroes" in quotes, which likewise was very encouraging to see.

This is what I'm hearing as well. Not sure who is involved yet.

Yea just a few extra milly who cares chump change...most likely the dumbest thing I have read.

Damn what a juicy thread to wake up too. I picked the right time to get back into poker it seems.

If this is all it is then i'm going to blow a gasket. I'd rate this -3/10 juicy

Yes robl ivey was said to have posted 2.5 million bail for paul back a few years ago when he got arrested in vegas

Funny you mention Robl. I came to post that my radar detected JRB as poker_hero_A.

I guess the pro is someone not ultra wealthy. (net worth < 10m)
