Contrary to one txt I had yesterday this wasn’t a convoluted plan to increase diary hits but I feel like I should probably address a few points.
First of all whilst I am not proud of what I did I am not really sorry for the actions I took if that makes sense. In fact I am 97.3% sure I would likely do the same thing again should the spot arise and I thought I could get away with it (collusionimizer on sale now, too soon?).
Yeah the way I argued my complete innocence made me look like a mug, but I have made myself look like a mug many times in my life so it’s nothing new and not something I have or will dwell on.
I admit IPoker did get a pretty bad wrap through this. They correctly pinned down 2 hands but the other 3 we actually hadn’t discussed so I’m not sure whether they just got lucky or they found the 2 specific hands and decided to pad it out a bit. Either way they got the job done which is fair enough, so wp them. Although if chat was off and it was h4h on the pure bubble / a few out or whatever then none of this would ever have happened but that's for another thread..
I have no bad feelings towards Nico at all. I am highly likely to have done exactly the same thing in his position should I think I had been cheated out of a seat. I hope he feels justice has been served in this case and we can put it behind us.
I try to be careful with what I say about DTD as although I won’t be going back into the club I don’t want to be banned from the forum as a result of something I say vs a sponsor. They did get the right result and serve a fitting punishment so fair play to them in that regard but the way they went about it and things afterwards weren’t necessarily 100% kosher.
If it wasn’t for what we found out the next day then we probs both would have come clean there and then but we thought “nah, this is a bit out of line, we should try and contest this a bit further”.
There is one more part of the story which I was struggling to talk about without implementing someone else. I know some people are already aware of this but basically a skype convo I had concerning these hands was given to someone which was then passed around from pillar to post. Obv I was made aware of this. There were a few thoughts running around in my head; I thought about logging off blonde and never posting again, I thought about steadfast denying it saying it was photoshopped, I thought about just ignoring it and hoping it would never be posted and I thought about just coming clean to everyone. It didn’t take long and I decided that coming clean was the only thing to do so I could finally put it to bed.
The real thing which I am sorry for is letting the people down who stood up for me. Some people vehemently defended me and I feel massively guilty for letting them down, I thought about PMing them and saying “mate I did it” but I decided against it which is one of the things I have come to regret.
Don’t get me wrong there are a fair few people on the forum who I don’t like nor do I remotely care about their opinion but on the other hand there is also a good number of people I truly do like whose opinions matter a lot to me. Some of these I also consider to be good friends. It is letting all these people down that I am truly sorry for.
If you are unsure where you sit then just ask and I will let you know which list you are on.
:TLDR:
Cliffs:
I’m a mug and I know I’m a mug.
Really sorry to the people who have I let down.
Likely to carry on posting.
