Of course I wasn't serious. Well, not "of course," I guess, but no, I was not serious.

It's all good, man. If pshabi needs to cheat to win, I understand. That's just how he rolls.

I feel better about it now. Hopefully this will make people think twice.

I'm going to have to agree to disagree with you here. I understand what you are saying, but I don't buy into it. At all. Especially your suggesting that the only way to make money at poker is by cheating. That's ludricous, and I would think you would know better.

Also, about this notion that "everyone is doing it" - I completely disagree with that too. I'm sure there are people doing it, but none that I know of. When I was in the Bahamas with dozens of the top online pros sitting in the lobby playing in big MTTs, no one was doing this. And no one was even cheating either (sharing cards, etc). Yes, people were playing as teams (5 guys railing one player and giving him advice), but that's completely, 100% different.

I don't know if I could ever convince myself that just because others are doing it that it makes it needed.

I'd rather never play poker again than think I needed to cheat like that because everybody else was doing it.

the former, hands down. it is both illegal and highly immoral.

the latter, by many accounts, is not really illegal, let alone 'immoral'.

btw, kudos to party in this whole matter.

just wondering if stars will have the gonads to investigate their golden boy?

and im sure this is not one isolated incident. there must be other such multiple acct cheaters among the online poker 'stars' out there...

I'm suprised that systems don't look into seven stud tourneys and cash games. Imagine the advantage you would have if you had two or three accounts at the same table (cash or tourney). You could see a ridiculous amount of cards compared to the competition and have an edge in every single odds decision. This is the reason why I quit playing cash games during certain times of the day, a long while back I had a decent stack and for a week or two I kept getting this feeling when I was playing cash games that I just couldn't seem to make any money anymore. Then I realized I had built the stack in Alaska where the timezone favors playing against opponents in other countries late at night, and lost a decent chunk of my stack playing seven stud in florida where I ended up playing against american players. After a while of this i realized that some of the people I was seeing at 3/6 (I realize now i was playing outside of my limits) always managed to sit at a table together. I cashed out, didn't have any proof so i didn't report em.

Anyway, I guess the moral of my ramblings is that I'm very, very glad that party took that bastard's money and hopefully it will get filtered to the players who were involved with him. Cheating is wrong, I almost broke a friend's hand when he told me that two years ago he had base dealt while we were playing a friendly five dollar game in a bar. If I ever caught anyone cheating me I would break their hand or thumbs. I would probably end up in jail, but I can't stand cheaters.
