Same thing happened to Lawrence Taylor about a year ago. Luckily they both avoided prison. Damn you lying pimps.

No, but i consider Matts nicking CCs a rather minor offence, as he was prob 15 years old or perhaps even younger, from the way he explains it himself. Also why would he ever mention it, if it was ever something big?

Also this? No, he stole peoples CC when he was a kid, starting out playing online. Not trying to protect him, just to be a bit factual here. In his first year of high school, he made 100K. So this happened before this, so prob when he was somewhere between 14-15. I consider it being young and ****ing stupid, when you do such a thing at that age. Not a crime like what he's being accused of being involved in right now.

Nice glimpse into his state of mind. He admits stealing money then in the same breath refers to it as "my money".

While it might not be evidence in the case at hand, it is absolutely relevant. It highlights the kind of character he has, which is consistent with someone who would cheat.
This.

He has an entitled mentality so entrenched he considers the proceeds of stealing and cheating to be his.

Let's just try and focus on the actual case, instead of just random rambling about how lame Matt is, when Samer most likely is the most interesting part in this
60-80% have committed the "doubtfull" crime of credit card theft?

I am jas11 on full tilt and jasjas11 on pokerstars.

I spoke with PokerStars Security. They said that the cheating is being investigated by Senior Management. Full Tilt and PokerStars investigated in 2010 but did not find enough evidence to refund money to players who feel they were cheated.

The first screen name that cheated me was saman_r. This screen name has a close resemblance to the name Samer Rahman.

westisbestis also cheated me on PokerStars. BAD_GATEWAY, POKERFATMAN and Alladiin cheated me on Full Tilt.

I would lose versus one player and then decline to play him. That is when another screen name made by the same cheater would pop up to play me.

Here are a couple hands vs Alladiin:

***** Hand History for Game 15338119228 ***** (Full Tilt)

** Dealing River ** [ Kh ]
Alladiin wins $15690.50 USD from main pot

He tanked the flop on the 2nd hand.

Before i got cheated, i was a winning NLH player whose game was respected. My default is not to limp the button or 4bet so huge as seen in the hand histories. However, at this point in playing Alladiin, the screen name's tendencies of calling every 4bet and high 3bet % and my decrease in my game's confidence, contributed to my adjustments.

I will look through my Hold'em Manager to give exact figures but here are some numbers on tableratings:

Jas11
BAD_GATEWAY
hands 1,689
$-48,083.00

Alladiin
hands 1,469
$-39,608.75


POKERFATMAN
hands 493
$-14,351.50

MicahJ
Alladiin
hands 3,621
$-100,268.40

Ozzy 87
BAD_GATEWAY

Kadabra
BAD_GATEWAY
hands 1,089
$-77,043.00

Haseeb Qureshi

Will be back to post more information.

Jas,

Thanks for the post. Couple questions. While those HHs are suspicious, you didn't explicitly state how the cheating took place, unless you did earlier itt.

If it was via a screen viewing trojan, how did it get on your computer? Looking for clear evidence of the cheat/scam so more detail is necessary.
08-23-2012 , 04:00 PM
Look like Adzizzy twitter has been deleted.
08-23-2012 , 04:19 PM
Jas could you post a few more suspicious HHs?
08-23-2012 , 04:22 PM
Holy cow, this **** really got intense now.
08-23-2012 , 04:32 PM
Those HH are pretty gross but not damning. Can't wait to see more.
08-23-2012 , 04:47 PM
yep, adz twitter acc is gone for me to, id like to see some more hands, those two in itself aren't as damning as they first look, first one is worse than second for sure but still in line with what a superfish could pull, "i put him on AK" strain of thought, second one was "omg, i know you dont have anything u crazy raisor and turn brings him i haz a flush draw".

I know, i know,. but we could use some more HH's, esp when he shoves some stupid stuff that leads and you suckout or something so you saw the hand he was pulling your leg with.
08-23-2012 , 04:59 PM
More HH's please? Those are donkey plays, but far from solid evidence of cheating imo. In fact I think those HH's could almost be used as evidence that there wasn't cheating. If you have software that shows hole cards do you really want to put your opponent all in with basically no fold equity knowing they have 18,000 outs to your bottom pair? Seems you could find a better spot no?
08-23-2012 , 05:12 PM
The first HH is pretty damn sick lol
08-23-2012 , 05:22 PM
**** just got realer
08-23-2012 , 06:20 PM
Sadly, I don't think these kind of HHs will help catch alleged hackers at all. High stakes poker is so weird and complicated that it's impossible to prove that someone is hacking based on HHs unless they have superuser like stats (like 100% win at showdown over a large sample size).

Finding a trojan and an internet traffic log file is IMO the only way to have a case against alleged hackers. If the log file showed a certain IP address constantly contacting your computer via the trojan, you could ask the pokersite to check if the address matches with the alleged hacking players IP address and so on.
08-23-2012 , 06:23 PM
those hands dont mean ANYTHING lol. i see that stuff all the time wow, alot of people,lie to bluff when it looks like they are commited and must cal to shoves on them , etc
08-23-2012 , 06:40 PM
Seems like a theme in Sweden

Swedish Poker Player Accused Of Robbery And Extortion
Poker Player Suspected Of Blackmailing Fellow Players Held In Custody


According to Swedish Newspaper, Aftonbladet, a 23-year-old poker player is being held in custody for the robbery and extortion of hundreds of thousands of Krona from fellow Swedish poker players.

any hand in a vacuum can be explained like that, but when its every hand and theyre never wrong it starts to mean something.

add to that pattern that the player in question destroys a laundry list of the best HU regs around at the highest stakes, and then disappears, and those hands become very meaningful.
08-23-2012 , 06:52 PM
why is this mark trying to look like an idiot everytime he posts???

the best thing of this threat, it's that it has 480K reads so far, so people must know pretty well by now who those guys are.
08-23-2012 , 07:10 PM
I would put my life on this to be true as I've seen Matt become very friendly with Josh Tyler lately (www.twitter.com/jewshuatyler) and he is known to be a well known computer hacker and fraudster from the UK
08-23-2012 , 07:24 PM
^u said that before dude.

first off, who are you?
second: proof

or gtfo
08-23-2012 , 07:50 PM
Have you never met Josh Tyler before????????? If you have ever spent two minutes with him and seen who he tries to hang around then you will understand what I mean.

And funny that he has just added to his twitter profile, 'professional gambler' since this has all come to light. The guy hasn't made a bean in poker and lives of hustling successful poker players so anyone associated with him in my eyes would be capable of pulling of a stunt like this.
