There is a place there to comment on how he won it or to write the author.

Dude is cheating at poker and telling others how wrong they are for outing him since it will hurt the PR of the game?

Awful.

For the 3rd time. Jason outed the account as a MA in May at the table. And basically said it was stinger.

Just so I'm clear on why people think he cheated on the bracelet bets. People think that because he was MA'ing it was cheating because people were supposed to think he was "rusty." Which is prett lol to begin with. But the person the majority of the bets were with somebody who already knew?

Obv mercier set the odds and made the first "bet" to invite other players to bet on this.

probably. if not he would be screaming here

is it just me or does the offer to give baker an "equity refund" seem an awful lot like a bribe in not many words?

either way baker is a hero for straight outting hastings. I really used to look up to him

now that's on a whole notha' level

Hs regs: there is no honour among thieves.

Just because people say they bet does not mean they actually bet.

Amaya Gaming Exec 1: What do we do about the latest US player caught multi-accounting. its a big deal on the internet right now.

Amaya Baming Exec 2: Why should we care if were earning rake on these guys. Besides, Venessa went into the internet thread and told em it wasn't that big a deal.

Amaya Gaming Exec 3: Its a big deal if it makes it harder to get back into the US market, or the DOJ comes after us again.

Amaya Gaming Exec1: I guess we have to take some action. We need to ban that Stinger guy. caught obviously. But what about those Team Pros that knew about it and didn't report it. The stories all over the web.

Amya Gaming Exec 3: Its not going to look good trying to get into the US market if we have people on the payroll that are facilitating the US multi accounting players or not reporting clear violations of our rules.

Amya Gaming Exec 2: Venessa said it wasn't that big a deal, people do it all the time.

Amaya Gaming Exec 3: Well she's gotta go. We have an agreement with the DOJ, we don't want to **** with those guys, it cost PS 1/2 Billion last time. Besides, we just signed Cristiano Ronaldo and he has 103 million facebook fans.

Bye Venessa, gl at the series.

The best part of this thread is jungleman coming in saying its not a big deal because saying otherwise would be morally inconsistent with his MA'ing past

I just got twitter blocked by BH, i guess he just doesnt want more people to know how he didnt cheat and how what he did was perfectly ok.

OMG, that's not a gray area. Didn't you just pass the bar?

Sounds more like dark area with some sprinkles on it. And only a few sprinkles. And not the tasty sprinkles, but some licorice sprinkles or something.

I'm intrigued by Pads' post. We know harrington was playing on the EireAbu account at the time that his longerpig account stopped playing (I can post more info but I think this is considered fact by now). Makes a lot of sense that harrington could be involved here in some way.

It pains me to know that there are people this dumb in the world.

What are they going to bring him to court for? What crime did he commit?

The court option would involve DOJ filing suit against PokerStars for allowing unregulated interstate and international poker to occur from within the US. Even though no on-line poker player in the US has never been prosecuted for playing poker in the US the DOJ could file suit against Hastings for tax evasion associated with his unreported on-line earnings which he undoubtedly has not acknowledged while playing with out of the country accounts. The DOJ could go back 5 years and make Hasting's life a tax evasion poker hell. That is how a good attorney back doors on-line play in the US especially when cheating occurs.

Yo guys, can we stop this now? please!

In b4 jared bleNick comes and posts 'lolwut'

Why did he have to move in with his parents.. Did he go busto or wtf???? With all this run bad i think he will come out and say hes "quiting poker for good" then go and MA again.. Lmao

seems like Brian is right you guys a really trying your best to ruin the game of poker

Oh, hey, I have an idea: if you don't want online poker to be shown in a bad light, then don't freaking cheat!

There's nothing gray about this area.

Making a "big deal" about things like this is vital, even if it's bad publicity for poker. Keeping silent for the sake of promoting the game is superduper hypocrite and will hurt the game more in the long run (a concept poker pro's should be familiar with).

Want to promote the game we love?

1. Keep your integrity, don't cheat, MA, etc..
2. Praise high profile players for doing nothing more than doing the above and having good results, we have to balance or high-view thread range. F.E. in stead of constantly bashing Negreanu for dumb things like hairplugs, being very outspoken, not playing technically perfect, etc.. we could just highlight the fact that he's been in the spotlights in the poker community since forever without ever doing something shady (in before ppl nitpick about him not being hard enough on Lindgren)

Also fwiw i don't think pointing fingers at ppl who keep quiet for some time about sth like this is very usefull. Ideally everyone would report this immediately but that's just too much to ask at this point in our community where keeping your own integrity seems to be a big enough task on it's self

Because he felt sad and alone in Canada
