Hi 2p2, I was a online poker player from 2003 - black friday, and I was a 2p2 addict from 2005 - black friday. One of my favorite things about the site was seeing people get caught for shady dealings and reading the "witch hunt" that ultimately ensued. I remember the stoxtrader saga, the girah saga, and how could ANYONE forget the energy that these forums had during the epic showmatch between isildur and durrrr?

I am hoping to be pointed in the right direction since I've been searching these forums on & off for a few months trying to dig up old threads that I enjoyed reading. My own "white whale" (metaphorically speaking) was a hilarious thread where someone in the poker community was accused of something shady and by that time the poker community humorously mocked the phenomenon whereby the accused would predictably say something along the lines of "oh I just heard there's a thread blowing up on 2p2 about me but I'm camping in a remote log cabin out in the wilderness and won't have internet access for several days" and to the point where it was nearly memetic.

There was however one thread where a 2p2 user wrote on one of the first few pages of the thread "in before this person says he's backpacking through the wilderness and won't have internet a few days" and sure enough the accussed person on page 20 of that thread unknowingly says something exactly similar. Time frame would be between 2005-2009.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be beyond exhilarated!

Also gotta pay homage to SrslySirius. He was the #1 best thing to ever come out of the poker community, lol.

Pretty sure Alec Torelli had internet trouble after stealing from perky. He also compared himself to Jesus, but that's neither here nor there.

Hey Bud,

My skype is AlecTorelli.

I would appreciate 5 minutes to help clarify this and put to rest any misunderstandings regarding Perky.

Thanks

Alec
NO misunderstanding, you guys hustled Haley, there is nothing to clarify.


My response:

I'm not sure who Haley is, but I'm sorry that you're not willing to talk about this. This must have been what it was like to be on trial in the 1500's. Someone makes an accusation, you're guilty and then don't get a chance for a rebuttal. No wonder they crucified Jesus...

Gr8, we're both adults. I'm happy to talk to help clarify any doubts that are on your mind, but I'm not one for the childish back and forth banter that exists on 2p2. It is precisely the reason why I have never, and will probably never again post on here.

For the rest of the forum and any other issues, I'm sorry that I stirred the pot. If there anymore urgent questions, I will not be checking this post again, as it is a waste of energy. For urgent concerns, send me an email at alectorelli@gmail.com or contact me on twitter/fb.

Thanks guys,

Alec

Here's an oldie but a goodie. Joshua Le Marchant might be cute as a button, but not the best candidate for a PLO stake.

Pretty sure zima didn't pay his utility bill for a while during YAYO GATE. See: Snootie Wild meets NVG for the deets.
