If this "angry" person has posted 50+ times regarding it, you might say that.

Plus he named his own thread "Should Ike go or should Ike stay?" so he screwed that up too.

You can get it cheap for iPad now.
I played through the whole game on my flight over for the WSOP.

He reminds me of her...

This thread was always a little witch hunty but now dragging ike into it all its just gone full crazy.

After carefully reading this thread and thinking about the copious amount of repetition I have decided that the best punishment for Ike would be to make him an NVG mod.

You MONSTER

in a way, i kinda like hotwarmcold, he is like the batman of the internet, having a one man crusade against crime

He admitted that he made a mistake, therefore its not crazy to drag him into it. Not reporting multi-accounting seems pretty bad as a player, but as a rep of the company seems very bad.

monkey island 1,2.

so much love.

Dude was is your cut in %. I am the derailing, but come on you must delusional to think that any of us will buy your rhetoric. Think about it we are poker professionals and one of our top dogs obviously hiding something. I got 20 IP just for just stating that you guys talk and think like american politics. I writing 500-700 page on Hegelian dialectics.You guys display such level of disrespect for us that I really worry about the way they pick mods around here. Modern English is a joke and thats a fact. I speak 6 languages and English is not of them. But I can and I will destroy intellectually any of you who wants to step in the arena. All you guys do is hide the criminals and ban the people like me who are cheated by Ike.

Ugh i was going to type a long post but halfway through i realised its pointless. Yea Brian did wrong, yes ike did wrong, its all black and white with no grey areas. burn the witch etc

I'm all for burning Hastings. Sorry, not seeing the grey area.

its an unwinnable argument for me. Id just be curious how many people in Ike shoes would have reported brian, id guess less than 5%

Not sure why everyone is upset with Ike. So he knew of a MA, he is not the poker police and no one likes a rat.

your starting to flip-flop from your initial confession, ike. you didn't need any evidence, especially since you yourself thought the rumor was credible & were inclined to believe it. the burden of investigating & confirming the cheating is upon pokerstars. the burden of reporting it is upon you (and any other stars employees who knew) the worst part about this is you could have done it anonymously & chose not to.

unfortunately i am not. primarily due to ike's past history of choosing his words so carefully. i hope i am wrong, but i think he is the type of guy you need to clarify everything with given his past reliance on the ToS in many arguments he made about prahlad friedman, for example. just my opinion, but with ike you need to ask: "did you have hem running every time you played, are you including all the hands you played scoop events with etc..etc.." i'm not going to bother with it right now.

the most interesting part of the post is he made crystal clear that brian hastings contacted him on skype & told him he was playing on NoelHayes. now can someone tell me why him producing that chat transcript will make him look much,more,credible? give it some thought...

i believe bakes said brian hastings tried contacting him at the final table becuase he "had a business opportunity for bakes". ike needs to tell us exactly what hastings said. ducy (and no,, this isn't the answer to the previous question)

what i am most interested in atm is the criminal implications of the cheating & the financial penalties. i believe noel hayes is a UK resident? and if everything is true he violated the UK gambling act of 2005? which makes jail time a possbility. i think pokestars will go after him for all the money that was cheated off the site & since the speculation is hastings got most of that money, will hastings bail out noel hayes by shipping back the $$$ ? i am also curious as to how the money was moved around & if banking laws were broken & what the DOJ might think about that..

pretty sure hastings didnt bother asking ike for any "business opportunity" because he knew the answer for that already.

I don't think anyone reading this thread is likely to believe you "hope you are wrong" to doubt Ike.

Do you have an agenda against him for reasons beyond what's in this thread? Are you willing to share who you are and what your history is with Ike or others involved here? If you need to stay anonymous, why?

How is Ike privy to conversations between Hastings and Bakes?

this thread needs a srslysirius video

Hotwarmcold is annoyingly overbearing.

With that said, I just think it's important to note, mostly to the ppl that are becoming frustrated saying this has turned into a witch hunt against Ike.

It is Bakes' public allegations against Ike for being in the know (as a sponsored PS pro) that started the outcry that a statement from Ike was needed. Not just a bunch of nvg 'tards going on a random witch hunt/fishing expedition.

My personal humble opinion is that Ike's responses have been mostly reasonable. Although I found the backtracking nature of his 2nd post to be a tad troubling.

I guess I'd be most interested to know what Bakes has thought of Ike's responses itt.

Isn't it a bit strange that as soon as Brian told Ike he was Noel Hayes he just drops off the face of the earth?

Why would Noel Hayes stop playing?

Maybe Ike was a Good Samaritan and told Brian that he would report it to stars if he didn't stop?

FYP

^^^^

Wouldn't the long term health of poker and its reputation be improved if cheaters were immediately outed and ostracized?

Silence and rationalization only benefits the cheaters at the expense of the game and everyone else.

Am I correct, Ike?
