Instead of coercing people to sweep cheating under the rug, I think it might be a better approach to not cheat at all.

Absurd post.

Translation: "I multi accounted, everyone who's anyone already knew I was multi accounting, and it'd be better for poker if NVG stopped talking about it even though there's really no incentive for them to stop talking about it. But hey, whatever, it's worth a try."

Is this a stab at those who outed him? Or is it a jab at NVG? I can't decipher.

so you only turned a profit when you started to blatantly cheat?
You couldn't make this up.

This isn't about "promoting and growing the game of poker as a whole."
This isn't about someone "taking their frustrations out on you outwardly rather than trying to self improve."

You know that, but you're deflecting in order to dodge accountability and avoid a hit to your reputation, despite your claim that "I stopped caring what strangers on the internet said or thought about me many years ago."

You're a ****ing coward.

what did you exactly try to accomplish with that post stringer? lol

The ride never ends with this guy.

Haha oh wow, this might be even worse than the douchey self congratulatory speech you gave after cheating a guy out of 4 million. I cant even.

WTF is that rediculous post. No deny of any multi accounting or anything, but the people confronting you should stop spreading the word. It's almost like you seem to think multi-accounting is ok.

You´re a ****ing joke man. So what you´re saying is calling YOU out for being a useless cheat is the same as dragging POKER AS A WHOLE through the mud. That´s like a Phil Hellmuth level of delusion. I know you´re way too smart to actually think that, so this makes your pathetic attempt at spinning this even more ridiculous.

Ban this clown already.

"Nice" story but totally off topic, since the title of this thread is Brian Hastings accused of Multi-Accounting as "NoelHayes"

Bro, seriously, F**K this guy!!

He definitely thinks his multi-accounting is justifiable because of the current legislature. He feels he had to play under someone else's screen name because poor Brian is well-known, thus VPNing from the US on his own Stinger88 account couldn't be done without Pokerstars being notified immediately. So he broke rules (multi-accounting) so that he wouldn't be caught breaking rules (VPNing).

No doubt in my mind with a dismissive mindset like this he's cheated before and will continue to do so. I sincerely hope this ruins his career as we know it. Scumbags like Brian need to be made an example of or this will set an undesirable precedence.

eh it's common knowledge he's cheated before.
(Now prepare for the flood of "well Isildur was gonna lose anyway" comments)

How come people like Chino Rheem and Brad Booth are considered "scum" in 2+2s eyes while Hastings isn't? Not paying back an, initially risky, loan isn't as bad as scamming an entire player pool at the highest stakes. And from the looks of it several times, and in multiple ways.


Absolute joke of a response.

hate to derail, but this needs more

Why not just leave the country for a few months like all the other pros? It's not like Ft Launderdale is some amazing place to live. Also I googled to see how Noel did in scoop because I remember he had a big final table and the first thing that comes up is bakes tweet from May asking if Noel will show up for wsop.

It's obvious no one will really care is everyone already knew, allegedly and he will just get a free pass. Would love to see someone confront him at the rio or poker news try to get an interview.

Despite what his nut huggers on here say he did cheat v isildur in my opinion and I agree with your post.

Given what others like ZeeJustin and Mark Teltcher have gone through when caught multi accounting by stars I hope this is investigated properly by them.

going to take a wild stab in the dark however that "NoelHayes" account has long been cashed out and his victims left high and dry.

Yeah as I thought, No denial
Anyway i do hope that the ppl who are from the UK whom played with Noel Hayes get in contact with the UKGC to get to the bottom of this incident.
If u say what u mean in the above post i am sure that U would provide any evidence that U have on the subject.
As for the pro's that are calling U out on this, are u responding to them by PM?
Also if anyone has evidence that the Noel Hayes acc is being used to MA then i suggest that Y'all gather the evidence & present it to UKGC & Pstars.
As the Noel Hayes acc did indeed play against UK based players then they must investigate.
What annoys me is that stinger88 acc has played online aswell as Noel Hayes(in same timeframe) not at same time ofc, so if u wanted to play on a new acc to remain anon then don't go back to the old acc. Simple, but controlling 2 acc online is angleshooting at the least.

HAVE A GOOD DAY BRIAN

I was a fan after the podcasts, even with the isildur stuff in the past. That said,

I hope nobody pays his bracelet/fantasy betsz ( i certainly wouldnt) and I hope all his accounts get banned as a minimum.

I do think he had to know it would come out eventually, esp when you are telling people yourself so how he ever thought he could get away with this is beyond me, allthough atm he seems to be succeeding in it.

shouldnt be too difficult to confront him about the issue.but as long as the other high stakes regs dont complain to PS, cheesburger-dude aka McBrian aka baby-gap will get another free ride. i personally think that merging handhistories with you buddies is worse than multi-accounting but it is obv still unfair to those who relocated

You guys what LuckyGump did at that final table was way worse, and much more of a story.

Brian's just trying to promote the game.

Hahahahaha, ah hahaha

+1

Translation:

"The problem isn't that I cheat. The problem is that people call me out for cheating."

It's because of scummy shameless pieces of **** like Hastings that online poker has such a bad rep.

Seriously: Stars has strict rules against this and prides themselves on taking stuff like this seriously. Have they been notified / made a statement of any kind? He's essentially just admitted to it. Stars: where you at?
