90% of traffic that passes through forums like this does not give a monkeys who this guy is - they have never heard of him or what he is supposed to have done. But the rather regular mentions of a site called Betfair all across the internet will subconsciously be of interest to 0.5 to 1 % of that traffic. That small minority MAY then visit the site, giving Betfair a HUGE PR win. Sorry, but despite what we all think about the ethics of what he has done, Betfair has scored a huge PR victory and fair play to them.

And I work for the opposition!




 

Look out for a press release next week that Party Poker have signed a sponsorship deal with Ian Brady

Just caught up on this, a thoroughly entertaining read. There's one thing that I don't understand though - did he break the rules or not?

He had the funds from the tournament win taken away so it appears that he most definetely broke their t&c. However it seems a bit strange that Annette played from 15 years old which is also against the t&c and none of her winnings were ever withheld.

2+2 now has a thread indicating that Imperium has been caught taking over an account during the WCOOP. His initial reply is quoted below:

"LOL , and this is why I don't read the forums, nothing but drama and people spreading false rumors.... Initially I wasn't going to respond to this but it seems like it's getting a little bit out of hand.

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I only got suspended on Pokerstars and it was for a minor infraction which I don't think I should have been suspended for in the first place.

Basically what happened was I was at the airport in Barcelona , ready to fly to London, when I realized that I had already preregistered for one of the WCOOP events ($300R PLO). Since the flight from Barcelona to London is only an hour, I called my friend (who will remain nameless) from the airpot and asked him to login and play until I arrived at my hotel and set up the internet. I ended up getting to my hotel about 1hr and a half into the tournament. I told him to log off, he did, and I continued playing the rest of the tournament.

This is the only time I've let anyone login to my account since the incident on FTP.... I had no malicious intent and my actions were 100% reasonable and innocent.

I knew I should have been smarter and just blinded out accepting the $300 loss. It's evident that Pokerstars has me red flagged because they think I'm associated with JJ in more ways than I am and because of the FTP incident.... I feel like they were just waiting for me to slip up and I guess this was enough for them.

Pokerstars wanted to suspend me for 6 months but after continuous back and forth e-mails they reduced the suspension to 3 months.

Although I don't agree with the suspension and think it's extremely harsh given the circumstances, I can appreciate the fact that Pokerstars is enforcing their rules and doing their part in protecting the integrity of online poker."


When will these online cheats ever learn that eventually they will be caught out. Just a couple of small points after his reply:

1. If he could get someone to log into his account and start the tournament for him why didn't he get that person to unregister him from the tournament since he knew that taking over an account halfway through a tournament is against the rules.

2. Since when can you fly from Barcelona to London and get checked into a hotel room within 1.5 hours.

3. What drives someone like Imperium to continually cheat especially now that he has secured a very good sponsorship deal with Betfair.

4. Why does he feel that Pokerstars have been unfair to him in banning him for 3 months when he openly admits he did wrong and should have just settled for blinding out and losing the $300.

1. I'm guessing it is because he wanted to play. I've had tournaments before where I've not been able to make the start because I can't physically get online, so I've got in touch with someone I trust and they've started the tourney off for me. I always thought this was allowed if you could prove you couldn't get online when it started...

2. Where does it state that? He states he gets to his hotel 1.5hrs after tourney start, not 1.5hrs after arranging everything...

3. See point 1.

4. I suppose he feels slighted because people who don't have his "rep" get away with it.

sigh, this happens every day
