this happened on more than one occasion iirc

yep. i remember when joey did a stream on canadian thanksgiving, SRP was on (i think this was the ****ting-in-a-bag stream) and when joey brought up "it's thanksgiving in canada, why aren't you with your family?" he just kinda brushed it off and changed the subject. i get the feeling he doesn't have a whole lot of close family/friends and i could see him being very emotionally unstable. obv he's a manipulative scumbag but i hope he does therapy and turns his life around.

I should add he told me he was the one that helped joe rised in plo, and that joe thanked him once in Vegas giving him 5k.

look at the bright side: at least he's a guy who stole your money and not a girl who stole your heart

Vegas or somewhere , not sure

Noted.

lol


He can be pretty convincing and around that time he was acting more like he was actually playing and winning at high stakes on 888 which I didn't really believe completely but I didn't have any evidence he wasn't and I really didn't think it mattered one way or the other. I didn't expect someone to give this guy money or stake him without very in depth receipts ever (why would they) and I had no reason to think he was doing anything more than trying to be one of the guys. There are plenty of guys in poker who are friends of a friend that has some type of reputation, it isn't there fault if you for some reason decided to befriend that guy and give him money/he doesn't pay you back.


+1

he had a unique cool voice and was pretty funny when you think about it. dont commit srp. someone should make sure he is ok somehow. there are alot of tools in a hardware store

this story gets more sad with every page

in b4 SRP meets patpat @macau-tower

it really does

didn't even realize it until i just rewatched it now but on the stream where SRP over reacts to busting out of an MTT (i.e. the famous "buddy snapped me off with deuces" line - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx4FXcItnSg) when SRP gets all in with AJ against 22 pf, he says "AT6! BOOM! HOLD!! HOLD!! 7! BOOM! HOLD! HOLD! HOLD! WHAT THE ****!!!!!!!" implying 2 on the river. then 5 minutes later:

SRP: "buddy turned a set on me"
Joey: "a set of deuces?"
SRP: "yeah, i was drawing dead"

lol couldn't even keep his story straight. compulsive liars gonna compulsively lie i guess. can i get 7:1 odds that he was actually playing in an MTT when these theatrics ensued?

well he said he was playing the $215 50k turbo on 888, which had 23k up top but i called him out as the 50k finished 2 hours before that hand happened


just rewatched that hand and doug pork writes, 'in b4 SRP is a scammer thread on 2p2' lol

^^wow... people call him out straight up and it goes over everyone's heads.

Timestamp?

EDIT: nvm, found it at 1:50:10

assuming MrAggr0 is SRP's 888 account, he finished 29th in a 3$ mtt.

haha its probably the best moment ever on joe's podcasts

Minimum wage is up to 11.00/hr now lol

I am pretty sure you are bang on, on this subject which is very touchy for lots, I sure do hope he seeks out the help that he needs. Cause he would be much better off with it. Its sad it came to this for him. But hope he makes better for everyones sake in the poker community

I think some people underestimate how much some non winning poker players want to be in the "popular" crowd. Some will do anything to be apart of it. Ive had encounters with mike as well in skype chats and IRL. It didnt take me long to realise that the guy litereally lies about everything. When he was in Vancouver visiting joey, i believe he told us joey moved and offered to get a place for us (us being a couple of grinders) to stay at when we come down for whatever series it was then. We offered to pay half of monthly rent as we would be there for 2 weeks and would still be cheaper than a hotel. Gave it to him before, he never actually got a place and said he was robbed, obv lying i assume. The whole trip he was super sketchy, but whatever, again a pretty cheap lesson. But he was always a huge fan boy from what i could tell. Just always watches HS games and thats how he knows so much. A couple of times when their was a podcast he was in Id mention something in the chat and he or joey would snap block me in the chat......not sure who has control over that. Also blocked others that I know. The thing is, hes like that suicidal GF that says if you break up with her she will kill herself. You know them personally so last thing you want them to do is to kill themself, which is why i never outed him when known as SRP.

I think that people who have a big name in the poker community need to be a little bit more careful with the people they promote within the poker community, its ok to continue to talk about how ****ty scammers are, but how about we stop promoting random people who come onto the scene. We all need to take some responsibility here and learn from this.

But gonna say like most, not sure how anyone believed the SRP was a decent human at heart considering the rage he showed on his twitter account. Literally just went after anyone to draw attention to himself from anyone that would listen. Guy is awful as poker because he spews all the time. Get lucky or bust was his game. Not gonna spend time editing this, just thought some of this needed to be pointed out.
Sorry about your misfortune alexo, i dont see it happening as ive know him to be a liar for more than 2 years now, but i hope somehow you get your money back.
This was all he had tho, really shocked he finally got "IN" and blew it.

I remember this watching live though, thought I just mis-heard him or something

Just wanna point out that "cantbeat" is Benny Chen. Dunno why his account is mentioned in thread title. 1 of the mods should edit it out.

He was raging at that time and drunk so v high chance he just was confused when he tried to recap teh hand. Theres zero chance he didnt busted there and was supertilt bc otherwise he would make way moar than 20k in hollywood...

Well ****. Had a long post typed up that i lost. I have some more questions, Joey, mind if I pm you?

Great post and the first paragraph is 1000 percent spot on


Sure go ahead
