Poker Player Brad Booth stole ~$28,000 from Me - Page 29 - Poker News

Just watch his apology video again. He says "I have a 50/50 staking deal for the WSOP. Say I win 500k I'll pay 75% of my cut to people I owe" He had 1 cash for $5,900. Wonder if the staking deal was a lie to buy time.

But in a fiction, in a dream of passion,
Could force his soul so to his own conceit
That from her working all his visage wanned,
Tears in his eyes, distraction in his aspect,
A broken voice, and his whole function suiting
With forms to his conceit? And all for nothing—

I've said it again and I'll say it now - before poker became GLAMORIZED in 2003-2004 and beyond, most of the regular players were all degen gamblers and con artist hustlers. Unfortunately, ESPN and Travel Channel and Fox Sports turned these same guys into lovable media darlings. It also brought out a new crop of scam artists and hustlers who saw the huge advantage of tv exposure.

Well fellow 2+2'ers, these stories are what we ended up with. And the sad part is that for every Brad Booth, EDOG and Chino scam story there are thousands of other ones that do not get the forum coverage.

The truth is that these stories have always been around and they always will be.

They need to keep playing in these big tournaments or they would have no hope of paying the debts off in the future, and their best chance of winning is if they keep a cool head whilst playing and don't let the fact that they are a scammer/thief get to them.

How is Brad doing in these tournaments? If I was still owed cash from him, I would be pleased to see him still playing, hoping that he binks a big score so that I can finally get paid back.

Doug isn't a saint either..

He has knowingly staked Americans that played on Stars w/ VPN in the past, not sure if he still does, but he definitely did back in 2012.

Yeah, but didn't Brad steal the $27,800 in 2011 or very early 2012 at the latest, meaning that he couldn't have known about the staking of US players, therefore as far as Brad is concerned he was scamming a perfectly good guy, and so Brad is still a douche.

COMPLETELY different from what brad did. Circumventing ridiculous and stupid law is absolutely fine in my book, lying in order to steal 5 figures worth of $ from a well-intentioned coworker is despicable

tdomeski got a job and has almost completely finished paying back. Obv he did a really bad thing but at least he manned up and fixed it as quick as possible. Mike is just a pos who lies and steals over and over again. Not the same level of scumbag imo.
