he's now sitting 8th in chips w nine players remaining in an event w 1.22mm up top. shame the cretin from the premises if the WSOP and Effel aren't going to do whats right for the Series and the community
Probably because there’s no consistent and objective standard of who even cheated and who we’re supposed to witch hunt is subject to the court of Twitter opinion rather than facts.
I personally refuse to take anyone seriously who wants to ban cheaters but doesn’t want to start with Alex and Kristen Foxen. They were literally colluding on video on camera at a live tournament . That to me is 100000x more cause for a ban then “this dude supposedly used poker software while playing online but nobody has any hard evidence “.
Of course the ultimate irony is that Foxen himself kicked off half these witch hunts in an incredibly ironic example of projection. He also accused Ali of cheating for seeing someone’s exposed card (grey zone anyway) and his evidence was that Ali didn’t play like a solver the rest of the hand.
Foxen is a poker savant but a joke outside of his table skills but seems to also be more effective at rallying up internet mobs.
I acknowledge there’s some degree of subjectivity in comparing Foxens cheating to Jakes alleged cheating but if you want Effel to crack down on ge integrity, start by defining fair standards that are consistently applied instead of arbitrarily picking favorites based on who you like more.
A lack of a justice system is better then one that’s based on favoritism and popularity over consistency and fairness.
