It's not right to go after a black man like this.

Of which, Hawkins has zero.

Where is Dwyte these days? He was a big name in the community and then poof, scam stories came out and he vanished into thin air.

1) Hi Maurice. please please post in here. you wont. ECB will tear you up

4) he tore up circuit like no other

Oh I would go full throttle on his scamming cheating ass. He is still playing lots of tournaments it seems so you gotta wonder if he keeps finding clueless suckers to back him.

Clearly you didn't read what he wrote- he said paying his debt back would effect his lifestyle!
And his backer is rich and doesn't need the money.

and despite this even with scamming he's broke. So who cares? If you're a poker pro the point of poker is to make money not be some broke scamming clown with meaningless finger trophies.

If theyre a professional poker player and they can't do that on their own, thats probalby because their busto and they're busto because they're not as good as they make themselves out to be.

The markup that gets charged is absurd enough even if these dudes did actually pay up. But then you add in the counterparty risk of them not paying up...and just, why? Why do people buy action?

Maurice should pay back his backers and I'm not trying to excuse that. But people also need to stop buying pieces of all these "pros".
Well tournaments are unique in tht require so much bigger of a roll (200 BI?) than cash. So someone who is profitable in a $1500+ donkament might not have $300k+ roll but be a good or even v good poker player.

What’s difficult for huge % of backers, since many are not pros/high level players themselves, is assessing who is actually very skilled. Tons of recs think guys like Maurice are good players but not actually equipped themselves to correctly assess. How can you assess who’s making overwhelmingly +EV decisions at póker when you yourself are not?

Hendonmob also oft paints a very misleading picture since all you see are the cashes but not total buy-ins. People with 6 figs to Millies in cashes might be slightly up or even down net and broke - I know of countless myself.

Disgusting behavior to have a big score and not pay back people when the amount owed is a small % of your total score. Scum bags go out of their way to screw others. It's a really disgusting.

I don't like those implied threats scumbag Hawkins gave Chad. The irony of this man claiming Hollaway is slandering him when his reputation is about as scummy and shady as anyone in poker and been that ways for over a decade. Seems like in every city in every poker room people have bad things to say about Maurice Hawkins. Maybe this shtbag should look in the mirror and stop acting innocent.

Unreal. And I read on twitter that Randy tweeted that Maurice won't give him a dollar of his winnings from this.

Just a straight POS
