I can see why this Martin individual chose a poker career over a corporate career. Imagine having to listen to a business presentation of his. The kid is all over the place. He was about as unprepared for the pod as Matusow was when papi interviewed him about Postle. What a weirdo in general.

Kid has some issues

Fixed the link because I think the video deserves it. Well played

It seems like a reoccurring theme on this site (and the internet) is to have someone be accused of something and instead of ever defending themselves they and their supporters turn it into ad hominem attacks on the accuser.

Idk what happened but it would be nice if the people defending would explain and address the issues instead of just attacking and gaslighting the accusers.

as much as I dislike the podcast format, I did just listen to the whole thing with Polk and wow

I assume that everyone who has been around the poker world isn't surprised that Brynn turned out to be a scumbag and a weirdo, however, all that stuff with GG is much more unnerving, we always knew they were somewhat shady, but if anything about their relationship with Kenney is true this is just next level

As i understood from doug´s/solve for why podcasts Bryn Kenney was makin 2 millions a week by being an agent for gg.
That amount seems incredibly high, but even if its less

why would someone makin tons by bein an high profile agent for gg go out of his way to cheat some random fish out of 2 million
really dont understand the risk/reward balance, if u get caught cheatin your cash cow dies if you succed you collect some % of this fishes money.

doesnt add up

If someone told me there would be a bigger villain than Postle in poker i would have laughed. But i'm quite positive Bryn overtakes him.

HS tournaments won't run without fish and there is no rake without tournament.

A lot of things dont add up to being logical at all. You ate meat today? Max 500 buyins today for you. Did not do yoga? same thing. Doing a lot of dmt, demanding your horse seeing a shaman or a psychic, doesnt add up, you know, Brynn seems to be a "little" off even if only half of these stories are true. His only goal clearly isnt just money.

I agree with you about the ad hominem attacks in response to the accuser, but there's plenty to criticize about the initial accusation as well. Maybe the accuser should consider not going on a podcast to make very serious allegations when he's completely baked out of his mind, can't even set out a understandable timeline for the community he's addressing, and isn't either able or willing to provide a shred of concrete evidence on said podcast. Maybe this is especially the case when your mugshot is out there, along with an article which describes you having been arrested for robbery with a firearm and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Having a history of openly publishising that you're a psychopath with homocidal fantasies isn't exactly the equivalent of holding the nuts when you're outing others for dubious behavior either.

I'm all for listening to accusations, wild as they may be, but if you're not even gonna take yourself seriously then you can't expect others to take you serious either.

the absolute state of poker, lmao

Agree that the accusations are wild, and tbh seem pretty believable, by why would you go on a podcast stoned out of your mind to make them. At least take the time to sleep it off and have a coffee, so that you can think straight and have some sort of functioning memory, as well as maybe get just a little bit of coherence when telling your story.

Clearly, the accusations made are the main part of the story, which is why it's a bit disappointing to have them made by someone stoned out of their mind. FFS, you couldn't do that after downing a bottle of vodka, how can you think it's fine to be doing it after getting that high? As a side note, dunno if Doug Polk realised the state of the guy prior to the interview, but if he did, it might've been a good idea to talk him into a night's sleep before the interview.

In any case, ****ing hilarious and concerning at the same time. It does also make you think that if this is how sloppy the cheats are, if there's a will to really minimise cheating, there's a way.

Sergi Reixach gives his version of this story.




Link to the article.

lemme get this straight, a third party is generating tables for preflop action based on dynamic stack size and giving it to other players in real time while they're playing, and the program that generated these tables is expressly banned from being used while playing?

but that's not RTA

ok

Wait a few more years when russians learn to speak english and see the dirt unfold for everyone in itcpoker team with Ponakovs as leader, ccksuscking Martirosian, shaman Nesterov and some random russian who will out them who cant grind back a 10k mu

You have to understand Sergi isnt very sharp. Possibly the only highstakes reg you can hook up with rta and still be a ****** loser

One could argue his inhibitions are lowered while smoking cannabis leading him to be more honest with the truth..

The robberies are indefensible though. But again his past has no relevancy to whether what heÂ’s saying is true.

Attacking him and not the facts is a loser in my book.

Going straight for ad homs and discrediting the person instead of actually defending yourself makes no sense unless youÂ’re guilty then itÂ’s all you have.

I hate these poker situations over the years. ItÂ’s always a he said she said debate and very hard to prove. And then even once we get hard evidence nothing ever happens anyways. We know what we already knew which is that poker players are scummy and narcissists always rise to the top willing to step on everyone else.

Is there a rule that one scumbag can't call out another one?

I don't think it's really worse than any other industry. Shady people just tend to stand out because most people disagree with how they behave.

the best line of all in the podcast was when Doug Polk said '...let's keep it non-mushroomy for now...' lol

Heading for the WSOP in June, where can I find the shaman lady?

The kid clearly has schizophrenia or worse. Unless he has chat to prove it he (and probably Doug) are about to get smashed by a libel suit. Can't imagine Doug knew about his background going into this (not the armed robbery; the manifesto like ramblings that are hard to follow).

Don't get me wrong, Bryn's likely a cheater and definitely ****ed over Lauren but people seem more to care about the outlandish lifestyle stories than the actual cheating.


Also wild that Katz isnt taking more flack. Pretty clear he's involved somehow. Very possible even an owner of GG.

The credibility of the witness is relevant. Since he provided no verifiable evidence of wrongdoing it is possible he is just a scumbag pissed off he lost his stake, that he is verifiably out of his mind and unstable due to drug use also affects the credibility of his accusations. Instead of defending the indefensible why not focus on the verifiable evidence of wrongdoing he presented? I didn't see anything other than Bryn is weird that could be verified in the podcast, the rest was the speculation and unhinged rantings of a verified scumbag.

Im not sure where this notion comes from that if you do something wrong in the past you cant bring attention to wrongs in the present. The FBIs best informants are other criminals.

From GG's own website, Security & Ecology Policy:

Bruh, I was using charts bruh, this is not an RTA.

Agree with all of this.

I don't think you could pick a worse guy to be the whistleblower of all this. You also probably couldn't pick a more entertaining guy either, though.
