I'll be honest though, I don't even believe that insider trading should be against the law because I hate the subjectivity about what is considered inside information, which is quickly becoming a futile archaic issue now that Google and Facebook and Twitter have plunged the world into full information overload. I like to use as much information as possible, while not assuming that I have a God given right to that information.

I also am sure that my lackadaisical views on this matter come from my foreign upbringing. Information is key to survival where I cone from, and necessary not just to make a cushy income, but to have a chance to get to Western society. Americans don't realize how jaded they are, and how easy it is to survive in this country with some humility and common sense and discipline.

My advice is if you expect complete honesty in a game which is based on deception as an implicit strategy, then you should call the APPROPRIATE authorities that have ALWAYS policed this type of activity.....by which I mean gangsters and mobsters.

Police and the law safeguard society. The mob and gangsters safeguard vice. That's the way the world actually works and just because you think something is cheating doesn't make it so, and better yet doesn't mean anyone gives a damn.

If someone wronged me in a real way, I would simply get revenge one way or the other myself, instead of expecting someone to fight my battle for me, like a panzy.

If someone multi accounted me, in the online poker, in literally almost any way....I'd simply learn a lesson, and add another tool to being more careful and self-aware but I wouldn't need to take revenge for something that was more a result of my own ignorance. This is a teeny tiny issue for me. I can understand that this is different for people who depend on online poker as a living but guess what.... I think it's silly to depend on online poker for an only source of living so I guess that's where the real difference lies.

Ultimately Bryan is the bigger thinker here, because he exploits his edge since he knows he will probably get away with it and guess what he got away with it but lastly PokerStars is dead anyway so who really cares what happens or what doesn't happen to Brian Hastings. You don't stop buying weed because it's illegal. What he did is against policy, but policy is not the law. He did nothing wrong in terms of the law.

Fight your own battles. If you're really mad at him, I'm sure he'll be at the WSOP. Handle it in any way you see fit accordind to the dog eat dog ways of real life, where you face all consequences of your actions, and move on, instead of railing at him online. I love NVG though so keep the thread going, but really this issue is like Candy corn.

That's almost like Bill Cosby cautioning strongly that it is bad for your future job prospects and for show business if you speak about his rape charges. "Look at all the great OTHER things I've done" lol.

The thing about poker players is that they spend their time exploiting the weaknesses of other people and profiting from it so they really actually can't even say that they've done great things for other people for the most part which is why I think people like me and in general find it hilarious what stingers position is on this in terms of how he defended himself.

Diablo, you're kinda sounding like a moron.

Player A doesn't want to play player B (you can use your imagination as to how this is known). Player B then opens a new account (or uses a known fish's account) to get player A to play him. You really can't see how this is cheating and not "subjective opinion"?

I disagree. Deceptive, sure. Cheating, no. It's online poker, there are certain risks you take playing it imo.

Breaking the rules is cheating.

Whether or not you should expect that someone will, and know there's a risk of it happening, isn't really relevant to what it is.

This isn't an 'imo' - it's black and white. You can disagree with the rules, but they're still the rules and breaking them is, by definition, cheating.

Yeah, and two guys discussing their holecards in a foreign language in your live game is deceptive and a risk you take but isn't cheating...

For example if you are playing Tom Dwan and forget that he isn't rich anymore and really is struggling, but NOW that you know its Tom Dean, depending on what you know of a players situation you might play him incorrectly. Except if you know 100% of what you need to know about your opponent's, which would involve way too many borderline illegal spying, I feel time is better spent on just adjusting to your opponents style. If you ask me, I'd rather play against relatively nameless opponents as long as I'm allowed to be random and nameless myself. It is RUSH poker that I am completely against as it eliminates the psychological feel/reading aspect too much from the game. Honestly the relative anonymity of online poker is why I love the game. People just need to grow up. Like they say in boxing, protect yourself at all times.
Complete BS its one thing to open another account as a random, but its devious to buy an account of a known highstakes fish and pose as him. This is equivalent to phil galfomd buying guy libertes online account(one of them at least).

So lets say 1 random guy is playing a marathon cash/tournament session, but leaves the table every few hours and has his twin brother sit in for him. Is that being deceptive or is it cheating? Online is the real world too and cheating or being deceptive shouldn't be brushed off as you should expect that on the internets.

No your point makes no sense what your doing is still wrong an average jo can comit the same crime as a celebrity and not receive the same coverage, but the crime was equally wrong. There's no thread on you because your not a nose bleed player using your girlfriends account, but if you were you can best believe there would be a thread.

Bout time you guys left stinger alone isn't it? He is prolly going to be a dad in the near future as he has scored himself a 'gal' and as is happening with a lot of the original online crushers, they are now losing their virginity at last (helps if you leave the grind station and go clubbing etc) and hooking up,look at Shaun Deeb,got his 2nd kid due shortly, Jungle has been with Lori a few years now, Phil Galfond is married,as is Ike,Luke Schwartz has a family now too, and that is off the top of my head. What it basically means is there is gunna be some spare space on Leader boards, as these guys lose the inclination and time to study, let alone grind as much. I wonder if stinger gets married, and i really wonder how many kids he has,mebbe he dont want kids,i dunno but i am keen to see what eventuates.

Yes apparently he is a Yak herdsman from Ulaan Baattur who multis Ring and MTT's between up-rooting camp, and following the flock. Thanks the powers that be for Wi-Fi and VPN.
