Joey, I like what you do and I don't think you are to blame for what happened, but can you please answer this?

Well he def did alot of cred for being on at ji1 but giving him money is on another page. But maybe tis whole thing has something positive bc its quite huge and might save some naive people from getting scammed

I bet that SRP is just a full time online poker catfish grinder and SRP was just his fun experiment at a male persona, and he's going to go back to grinding various female personas where the scammed will be too embarrassed to out in NVG.



On to the next one!

I hate to be 'that guy' as I feel terrible for alexo and I've been way too generous too in my life and don't wanna pour salt in the wound, but it was pretty obvious to anyone with a brain that SRP was FOS.

I did tweet that he was a fraud....many many times. Sucks this happened but whatever. Online poker is going to always create generous naive types as well as the malicious scummy degen scammers to take advantage of those types. The story will repeat itself ad infinitum! At least alexo did his part to hurt his own personal EV (in case SRP EV ever got so high that it would be worth paying alexo back some %) by outing. So its funny that the scammed because he was too generous, is also giving back to the community again in a spot where it can't benefit him at all. Such is life.

Reading some of his old P5 posts makes me feel sick, not because of how scummy it all seems etc, but because of how brokes his mind has to be. There are just so many things that scream of insecurity. Reading it now it really seems like he desperately tried to create an identity for himself and often times went into hardliner mode to appear "strong". I wouldn't be surprised if he never owned a cat and never played golf etc, but just thought that those things might be interesting to others and thus incorporated them in what he wanted to be in the eyes of other people.
I feel sorry for him since if he invested so much time (30k posts or what on P5 alone?) into creating an internet identity, he probably doesn't have anything in his RL, like absolutely nothing. Something must have gone seriously wrong in his earlier years. Hope he somehow makes it through this.

Scumbag and angle shooter. Well done SRP

idk, I only saw a couple of podcasts, mainly during the yaaarny bet, but from those and hsplo threads I thought he was some midstakes reg. Yeah he got some ****, but seemed like in the sense how jedimaster/joeri/kjunia etc. get berated

Putting any blame on Joey is ridiculous imo. He has no reason to feel remorseful. Maybe some people didn't think it was obvious but it isn't like he was complicit in the scam. He has no reason to apologise.

Only guilty here is michael gregory , he is a compulsive liar who angles / scams .

Maybe People in media / podcasts should be more careful who they make famous? Agree.

But sometimes they will fail at this.

its like saying maybe people should not give money over to an internet stranger so they dont get scam . but sometimes people ( i ) fail at this too.

I wasn't a mod at the time that this happened. I am really curious to see if it is him. It was my first big game and I will never forget how sick the whole situation made me.

I am torn on if it is the same guy. I just can't see him pulling this off but then I read this and it seems like he has a thing for telling girls he is going to stake them. Most likely knowing he has no intention of it, that is until they cash.

Just read forum , 100% him. He has been doing this for a long time.

Also, 2 people have confirmed that he said I was his horse, hope he didnt use my name to scam other people. I WAS NEVER BACKED BY HIM OR ANYONE FOR PLO ONLINE.

alexo, just wanted to commend you for making this thread and sharing all the relevant info in an objective way. I know it probably had to be embarrassing to have to share how naive and trusting you were and after reading just what a desperate person srp is from posts in here, doubt you will ever get any $ back.

But you definitely did the right thing to expose him to the community so he won't be able to pull this crap again. Just chalk up the lost $ as an expensive lesson and hopefully you will be immune to having this type of thing happening again.

The undertitle the mods gave him on his p5's acct is accurate: "Michael Gregory from Canada - Scammer, thief, and racist"

Also, Joe while I don't hold you at all responsible for srp scamming anyone, I do think you are at least slightly negligent in the way you portrayed him. You constantly would go back and forth w/ him on 2p2 and twitter and retweet him. You also said you were friends w/ him and had spent time w/ him irl. I haven't listened to all your podcasts, but I have listened to a lot, and tho you'd make fun of srp a lot, I never got even the slightest impression you thought he was busto, degen, sleazy fanboy.

I got the impression you were pretty good friends w/ him and so I kinda assumed you knew his sns on the poker sites and was a winning player. Tho I haven't listened to all your podcasts like I said, I heard you talk about him a ton, and you never mentioned anything about him owing you $ for a long time and scamming both you and your roommate.

Very frequently after reading his posts I would think to myself something along the lines of "Wow this guy is a psycho must be compulsive liar wannabe w/ serious problems." Usually the thought would finish w/ "Well, chicagojoey seems to be very tight w/ him so how bad can he be?"

Def didn't come close to blaming him, and in this alexo case maybe his affiliation with the guy was 0% of it, but I would of thought at least he'd feel kinda silly if nothing else for giving this scammer POS a buncha camera time. I said before an apology is whatever, who cares really whats that going to change. Just thought the "it was obvious" route he took when talking about it was kinda weak and he maybe should take a little more responsibility for helping this turd get recognition.

Nice condo eh'....yea whatever

A thread about his dating life from this past summer, a lot of it probably fabricated. I think the most disturbing thing is he's clearly a pathological liar and telling insane lies, yet even if you took everything he says at face value, he still comes across poorly

From this past august:

Also in July, he started challenging a bunch of nosebleed plo endbosses to hu4rolls challenges in the hsplo bbv thread, then after they accepted his offer, he pretended like he was waiting for them to play and talked tons of sht. After it became clear he was dodging them, he posted saying he'd sent an email to a euro site that one of them (very well respected hs reg) was vpning to play from US and was going to get his balance seized there, which led to him getting temp banned

He did pick up a chick here and I saw him with her downtown

She was not attractive. At all. He bragged saying she was a dime. She was at best a 6/10. The guy is unhinged.

When is mikegregoryisascammer.com being made?

I hope you are reading this SRP. Get ****ing help dude and start making things right.

kind of a shocker, just thought he was a bit obnoxious. but im not gonna be a 20/20 hindsight guy like most itt and say "omgf lolbbq how obvious it was" it actually wasn't. lots of rich people are douches. actually it's a trademark of "nouveau riche" guys/gals. anyhoo, that sucks alexo.

Right, I mean it's not terribly surprising he isnt what he portrayed himself as, but to be a complete scammer? Sheesh.

I feel filthy for having conversed with him on twitter a couple of times.

We do not like the use of homophobic comments on this podcast....BUT my white ass saying nigg@ is totally cool.
