Evidence of cheating was never found, however, situations where Natasha had falsely accused another player to avoid paying was found. The following poker players have a unique opportunity to not only settle with me but to do it in a charitable way as I am requesting 90% of what they owe to be donated to any of the following charitable organizations and the remaining 10% to be settled with me. Not only will this help resolve the situation, but will also have a humanitarian cause. In the previous post I made ‘Jason Mercier spreads unfounded cheating accusations’ some members brought up the possibility of a lawsuit. The possibility of a lawsuit for defamation against Mercier exists, however, if Jason Mercier donates at least 3k, then there will be 0% chance of a lawsuit of way greater than 3k ever occurring.

Samantha Abernathy- 8k+5k bank
Samantha lost 8k then we made a deal where 50% of any further losses would go to a special bank that would be used to play any player she gets me and she would get 50% of those profits. After the cheating allegations where confronted publicly she did not feel comfortable doing that. To simplify the matter pertaining to the bank, she can keep 75% of the bank and donate 25% of it. I did offer free private OFC videocoaching to Samantha as evidence of my thought process but she never took it and stopped replying to me.
Joshua Beckley- 10K
Also offered OFC coaching but was not accepted.

For those curious on how I became really good, this video of me training and studying from 2016 shows one of the tools I used.

In the video I explain some of the intricacies of OFC using one of the best tools there is to study and get better. The tactics trainer from openfacesolutions.com is based on an exhaustive late game GTO solver, however, I do not think it is perfect as it uses wrong conservative fantasy land values since it does not consider fantasy land is worth more on the button. As a final note, an element that is way more important aside from studying is loving and obsessing with the game.
Thanks for screenshotting my old business, Open Face Solutions.
I can give some insight into the tool for those debating this situation, but I want it to be known that the goal of the app was always to educate OFC players, it was never designed to enable cheating. And I'm not choosing any sides with any of this, I just want everyone to know we spent significant efforts to make it educational only.
Here are some facts about the tool you were using:
1. It can only solve end game situations for HU OFC Pineapple with QQ+ FL (valued at 7.5 pts if I'm not mistaken). That's second draw+. It cannot solve setting or first draw. And many 2nd draw calculations take almost 2 weeks to finish calculating.
2. 7th and 8th street calcs can be made nearly instantly.
3. Calculations are extremely accurate, within .1 point in nearly all situations. Excluding some obvious flaws to its FL calc.
So, could someone use this for finding perfect plays in-game? Yeah I suppose in end game spots they could, if they took 5 minutes+.
But more importantly, and more likely, the same person would absolutely use the tactics trainer to learn the best plays in common trouble spots, and uncover countless counter-intuitive plays that actually make more $$$.
You'd be surprised how many end game spots are played extremely poorly, especially when it comes to risking Fantasyland.
