Lifetime bans should be for the most egregious of violations, like cheating, collusion, etc., not just acting like a douchebag. Couple year ban would be adequate imho.

P.S. - or maybe "lifetime" ban is what they call it when in a year or two you can strap on the kneepads and beg for forgiveness and reinstatement lol.

Agree completely.

Already should have been banned from everything relating to poker 10 times over. Creepiest scummiest **** ever. Always gave off vibes of being a school shooter, I guess theres still time.

Met Jared and hung out with him once also chatted online with him a lot. I won't say anything about the multi accounting it is what it is but as a person Jared is a great guy and I always felt he got a bad wrap around here. He's the type of guy that would go above and beyond to help any of his friends and he's a great guy to talk to. Anyways I just wanted to chime in and share my positive experiences with him.

If they banned all of the dirtbags there wouldn't be a WSOP.

Pencil neck tough guys writing cool sentences about how cool they are and how un cool Jared is. WSOP ban for the year is fine, but perma banning him just for this is way off.

Not like you perma ban someone from the NBA for punting the ball out of the pitch or somehow try to destroy the ball, albeit you might get warned or w/e.

Read the thread. He was warned for this behavior in the past and continued to do it.

[X] Ban deserved

And his statements that he is being cheated, insinuating the dealer is somehow involved ("what's going on here?") at times borders on slander.

The man-boy is a menace.

But a great poker player!

I called Zvi Stern a f_ing ****** at the main event last year with 100 players left. Took no penalty.

So it depends on how they feel

Blesnik is just another lost soul that is broke... or has millions, if he doesn't play pits, slots or Sport, I guess, lol.

@Chainsaw
You're cool. We've talked during 8-Game break in Berlin. I'm that tall guy with german accent. And the structure was actually really bad there

(no joke,though)

Jared Blesnick took everything that's bad about online poker players and managed to combine them into one single person. Watching him on that Poker After Dark PLO game was just brutal. I'd rather take a punch to the gut than have to listen to his voice.

Yet they gave Jared a lengthy ban.

What does that tell you about Jared's history with these TDs?

Rumor is Blesnick was banned from Casino Arizona in Scottsdale, if true I sense a pattern.

do it again and again, and it will become a reason for a life-time ban, I guess

Even coke-heads can be great friends, to those that are close to them. Agree again...

So... 20 hours later, do we know if this actually happened?

I suppose we could just ask Kevmath but this is his day off, dammit!

It's a thread in NVG. You probably could have guessed it would come onto Hellmuth, Negreanu, or FullTilt at some point.

A life time ban for this is way to harsh. They need to save that for things like physical abuse.

The floor should have crumpled up his payout ticket, threw it into his chest, and said, "Here you go. Get your money, and do not come back. If you do, you will be arrested for trespassing.
