I think hypocritical would be a situation where you were sponsored by a poker site like PokerStars, knew about a person blatantly multiaccounting and breaking the TOS, and did nothing about it

I am bringing this information to light ~3 weeks after I got it. Some people had it for months and months. I had to prepare for the series and travel from Europe, but it has been on my mind for sure.

I didn't know quite what my line would be , but once I saw our hero calling out others for improprieties, I felt like saying something

came here to post this. ive heard of many players vpning on their own screen name. its annoying losing to them and i get urges to report them to stars, but what they are doing is fine. the state is an open air prison where you dont even have the freedom to choose what you put in your own body, or do with your own money. **** their laws. i dont want to go into a rant, im not mad at the world, its certainly progress and is getting better daily. #buybitcoin

stars should confiscate all funds and he should pay restitution for every dollar he won, imo.

Whats that got to do with (pressumably) one of the most successful players of recent times preferring to be able to get blowjobs while grinding then go round for dinner at his parents.

Again, its not like if he didnt do it hed be out on the street.

I can somewhat understand how someone whos financially desperate can end up in a situation like this, although I dont think they should be treated any differently.

But he just did it cos he doesn't see the problem in ****ing people over to make his life easier. Which is what douchebags do.

The whole, omg keep it quiet im Brain Hastings and you could RUIN poker by ruining my rep is almost the funniest delusion i've seen over the years on 2+2. And there have been some whoppers!

Not genius. It's more on the same level as check raise bluffing. I suspected the Noel account as being MA as soon as he started playing the big mixed games. Didn't think it was Hastings specifically but some random pro. Noel shows up out of nowhere and his stars nick is his full name? Too obvious

Isn't it against the TOS here on 2+2 to post PM's without permission?

Also, for some context, when did he send it?

If you're so afraid of "Damaging the reputation of poker" then you should have tried not secretly multi-accounting you stupid ****.

Also lol'ing pretty hard at you repeating "the dream is to have Americans able to play poker from the comfort of their own home". Literally what you have been doing anyway.

(fwiw Our Conor won neither the Grand National or a Novice Hurlde. He won the Triumph Hurdle confined to 4 year olds and specifically not open to novices. Ok ignore me and back to the matter in hand.)

Poor Brian is having a meltdown:

Well said.

So it's not your obligation to call out a cheater because you aren't getting paid by pokerstars? Terrible logic and you can't complain the next time you get cheated when someone else that wasn't sponsored by the site didn't bring it to your attention...

I know you aren't a pokerstars pro. But would you like to out anyone else? Or rather wait for this to happen to someone else.

Where is this pm u guys are talking about!

He called bakes a hater and negged the **** out of him lolol.

Hahaha he just basically said
"Downswings are tough bakes, **** you"
Hihi this is hilarious

Brian,
If you are so concerned with poker getting tarnished with another cheating scandal i'd suggest not cheating.

I'm lucky enough that I live in England and I certainly have never cheated. but I would never consider reporting a player for playing from America. but what Brian's done here is obviously another level.

sending that tweet about helping people with depression then using it in that pm is just lol. does he think we are a bunch of level 1 fish here or what.

Holy moly.

Why are you attacking the messenger, he is not the one that was multiacounting?

Lmao at the PM . " YOU ARE CREATING BAD PR FOR POKER WTF ARE YOU DOING!!! NOT ME THE ONE ACTUALLY BEING A SCUMBAG MA'ING CHEATER, THIS IS YOUR FAULT YOU ARE THE ONE DOING STUFF BAD FOR POKER!!!" how ****ing delusional

lol I love the logic.

I'm doing something that could ruin Poker's reputation.

But you shouldn't tell anyone because that could ruin Poker's reputation.

Sigh. I feel bad for him because he's clearly got some issues to work through. I don't think he's actively trying to f*** anyone ever, but I don't think he quite thought all this through in advance. Now he'll deal with the consequences.

Also not a good look for any PS pros that knew and stayed mum.

These are the kinds of consequences he didn't think through.

All because it's sad in Canada. Dammit Canada.

Was just asking a question. He was mad that mercier didn't tell everyone when he knew. But after he found out he didn't tell anyone for 3 weeks

you spelt the correct five times. you ok

WTF, man? You are talking to the guy who DID out him. Talk about terrible logic.

I have no business muddying the waters but that PM is more pitiful than the actually offense, in my opinion. He could have replied with "I get money" and came across a hell of a lot better.

his mates all regularly multi account for gambling and shady ****, how did stinger have the account and not some irish hs player tho?

So ITT today we have 2 things

I - An official admission....I think
II - AE Muthafkn Jones!

Wassup? Starting to get some traction!
