How is it of any relevance whether this is normal in HS games or not? Or whether there is worse cheating going on or not?
You break the rules (even if it is ethically gray or even white area), you get caught, you should be sanctioned. Where else in the world does someone say "yeah I did something illegal but other people are doing worse, so I shouldn't be punished!" ?
Get real kid.

Guise stop with this adelson crap. No one cares about poker except that they hate gambling and literally won't understand what happened here if you explain it 24x.

They'll understand they just won't feel bad for you.

"No, you don't get it. We thought we were going to win money off a degenerate gambler but it was actually someone really good at poker!! we're trying to get him charged with a crime in the UK."

While I did defend BH earlier in this thread (at the beginning when people were only talking about his gf being a gold digger and Isildur stuff), I believe if Hastings is truly worried about the image of poker as much as he claims. He should pull out of the remaining WSOP events for this year. I haven't looked at the POY standings but I imagine he's at the top and it wouldn't look good if he won.

I only say the above in response to his pm to bakes. Personally I don't think anything silly like POY makes a difference.

The reality is, his explanation (or lack thereof) for his actions was an attempt at diversion and minimization. His diversion rant about online poker being deemed an illegal game in the US has absolutely no relevance to what he's being accused of.

Ivey should've retorted by asking Brian if he's already registered for the 1k under an alias.

I replied to one of Hastings tweets with "Noel" and was insta-blocked. Kinda funny.

I hope he wins it. Seriously. Maybe making even more money will eventually balance out his inner demons and negative social pressure that will forever haunt him.

Oh wait, it doesn't.

If this is the case, wth is JM meant to do now other than avoid this. If he went to Stars he cant admit it as it massively shows Stars up, as well as potentially ruining many of his friendships and rep in the inner HS ring, looking like a snitch. If he goes the other way and denies he went to Stars then everyone hates him, it's lose lose.

Just feels there are far too many gaps to start jumping on the boot Mercier from team Stars bandwagon.

Its possible. So many things could have happened that we have zero idea about.

For all we know, maybe he mentioned it to them way back, saw nothing happened and then decided to make those comments in that chat.

Good points brought up in this post imo.

Also, I seem to see quite a few people saying how BH did not use the account for an edge, it was just because he could not leave the U.S. They back this up because he told 'some' players.....

WTH was playing Isildur then? He did play him HU did he not under the NH?

Stars seems likely to not care/do anything, so have at it...

In a weird, twisted way I kinda do too. I'd hate for the guy to make more money, but it would be very interesting to see how/if the "poker media" covers the story and what various players might have to say afterwards.

I said earlier in the thread that Isildur1 was asking Noel on a few times for plo-08, 2-7 & Noel refused every time.
Also Isildur1 ran over Noel quite often except for the time isi was playing like 24hr st8, make of that what u think but isildur was bumhunting Noel the last few months lol.
But as usual with isi he gave most of his winnings if not all away to sauce & ben at PLO.

Also sounds like a nice possible angle by Ivey with the "slamming a stack of chips down on the table without making forward motion" move.

Lol poker

Probably, but, at this point I honestly don't care what he says or thinks. My curiosity was more about whether or not they would talk about this on the ********** or not, stuff like that.
