how is it related? people often say "oh my god" even when they don't believe. it's the exact same thing.

I know right. We have way more evidence for Santa Claus being real, no reason to put those next to each other.

ok thnx got it.

And.. best thing for him would have been not responding at all. If there is 1 thing I have learned from 2+2 it is not to post at all. If you are the topic or known: Do not apologize, don't defend, don't defend others and do not give your opinion. Unless your opinion is that he or she should burn for it, then it's ok

Heh, think hes got genuine mental health issues

Or this is a massive troll

With the tweets it seems like hes setting up a situation where he leaves the game for good through "his own choice".

Just like when a teacher at my school left on "his own terms", who coincidentally the previous week had been caught sending love letters to a 15 year old girl and made her rip said letters up whilst he was watching.

Can imagine him years from now curled up in a ball repeating "it was my own choice, it was my own choice"

i always donate a few bucks whenever i want the epic rungood. It have been successful a moderate amount of times. I need to donate much much more i guess.

They're related in so far as they are other things I don't believe in. For the record I also don't believe in homeopathy or that jungleman ever hired a hitman.

That would have been the easy way out.


But some respect for how he admitted everything, offered to pay people equity back that they thought they lost by playing him, said he messed up and won't do it again, answered PMs from randos like me asking personal questions.

Not trying to white knight but I think him ignoring it would have been worse.

+1 genuine mental health issues

+1mirrion. And also strongly agree with not posting. Look at Vanessa. She came in here and gave her opinions and was crucified for it even tho she isn't friends with him and does things the right way. Sure, she could've worded things better but she didn't deserve the hate she got. Not posting definitely the way to go

How did this dude ever make any money? He is now trying to form an alliance with DN through mutual enemies? This guy is delusional.

Hayestings has got to be the last person in the word anyone wants to be affiliated or have him sticking up for them publicly lol. Does he really not even understand that? Guessing by his posts and tweets, no.

Is his gf Colombian? maybe she got her hands on some scopolamine?

They were crucified because their "opinions" were vile. **** this guy.

Because he's an easy target.

Same reason Obst is "taking a stand" against cheaters with his blog post

Except he didn't admit anything, Bakes exposed the PM he received from BH and then BH wanted that PM taken down but 2+2 mods left it up.

I think this kid is autistic, really. Those last tweets, holy hell. His best course of action is to shut the **** up. This would have been such a meh story if he didn't botch the pr job 100%. People understand that there is multiaccounting in online poker. He would have been labeled a scumbag but people have done far worse and come out fine, but his ego and victim complex will be his ultimate undoing. (undoing in terms of perception, he'll be fine in life).

He told everyone in the thread he would answer PMs and told me before bakes posted that PM.

lol childments

make perfect sense. mod should delete our derail.

I knew this would set you off like telling kids santa ain´t real.

[ ] Dawkins is a real atheist.

Back in like 06-10 everyone was account sharing/MA'ing tournaments..

People still do it, but not as often.

I remember back in the days lots of the original CR videos were guys playing on other peoples accounts, lol

Perfect escape plan. Just announce to the world you are quitting poker and just start grinding on another account this time telling nobody about it.

That's not really "admitting everything" is it? There were still plenty of players who played against him he didn't tell and probably had no intention of telling. Contacting them afterwards and offering them equity is at least showing some contrition but its incredibly unlikely he'd have done this if this whole thing hadn't been blown up like this.

I also don't think this is such a huge thread vs the bot-ring because he's an easy target, it's because he's a very well known (in high stakes online poker) player and people love "celeb" gossip and scandal - NVG fans aren't so different to the readers of the national enquirer than we'd like to think. Bots are nobodies, you can't relate to them.

They also don't post ridiculous tweets and write incredibly self-serving and patronising PM's to people they've shafted.

so·ci·o·path
/ˈsōsēōˌpaTH/
noun
a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.

"My favorite thing about being a professional poker player is the freedom it offers, and when you're making life decisions -- when poker is dictating what I'm doing -- I've realized that doesn't make me happy. So, I wanna be able to live somewhere that I actually wanna live, and then I'll figure out how to work poker into it, basically."
