    When will the POS69 press conference be to deny these allegations? Hearing he's hired Gloria Allred to defend his character!

    Perfectly said, Sam... and major kudos to you and SBR for taking action here.


    We're a community... we should all respect each other and the rules, and people need to be held accountable when they show a selfish/malevolent disregard for both (as PO69 long has).

    BTW... everyone needs to watch for some MAJOR soft playing that has occurred in this poker series... which of course compromises the integrity of this current contest. As anyone that knows poker knows, soft playing at a legit poker site (Pokerstars, etc) will get you banned. It HAS blatantly occurred.

    Just as I provided evidence against PO69's squirrelly ways, I have evidence of clear soft playing that occurred: If SBR would like that evidence, just PM me and I'll provide it.

    Again... KUDOS to SBR for doing the right thing here regarding proven angle-shooting PO69.

    No joke every time I've gone deep in these I see pretty blatant soft playing and strange blind folds getting better than 2:1 on a shorty. Even worse, multiple times 2 or more "friends" teaming up on 1 player. Never brought it up because its way too hard to prove but imo if you have clear evidence post it here. Like you said, we're a community, and we all deserve to know who's shady and details of their actions.

    Either way you're the man Bite

    I have seen so many times people are folding in the BB with less than 2x the BB to try and squeak into the money. Heck, I have tightened up my play at the final tables generally just because of this. It is really challenging to play against folks like that and those that will call off their stacks with air. Landmines all around.

    I play "soft" on this site -- no, not chip dumping or having ghosts dump chips on me -- my "soft" play is a function of SBR's "random" card generator constantly doling out bad beats to me............

    makes me so "soft" I have to take viagra for a week to deal with yet another unflattering soft-on (as opposed to my usual ragin' hard-on I sport when not playing SBR poker)

    You're right that's bad play. When the offenders have been chatting for an hour or are at least friendly on the forums and those strange folds start happening is when its questionable imo.

    only time someone tried to "protect" me -- by re-raising and thus blowing PO 69 out of a hand -- when I was forced to shove under the gun, it backfired and removed me from the trny. Both PO 69 and the other player had much larger stacks than me. When I shoved, PO 69 called, the other player reraised all-in, making the comment he'd "provide protection"--unsolicited by me, i must add, P0 69 folds out, and the "protector" felts me on the flop......

    Hey guys... most all of the folding with < 2BB, trying to squeak into $, folding w/2:1 on shorty, etc.... can, in fact, be legitimately explained by bad play (as daner states) or some form of strategy. That's just poker, as we know, and what sometimes can be misinterpreted as soft playing is NOT... and as Sharpy alludes to, there's sometimes a murky gray area in there, too, which is all but unprovable (and usually not soft playing when all is said and done).

    That's not what I'm talking about here, however. I'm talking about PROVABLE, 100% soft playing backed up by evidence: HH and accompanying chat log confirming as such.

    You guys are correct: I owe it to the community to lay out the evidence... so, I will do so later tonight (forgive me as I'm busy doing various things and can't get to it till later tonight/early morning).

    But... STAY TUNED!

    Same.

    Sammy sent me a pm yesterday saying to give him 100 points or he would "get me the fukk out of here."

    I paid him. Didn't think it was right...but didn't want trouble.
