That’s semi-old news, The Big Randy, referenced by Big Robert yesterday. But at the same time, it provides quite the comparison. PokerStars is handling their cheating “scandal” very well. Of course it helps when your executives aren’t the ones doing the cheating.
Wait a minute, that’s exactly what Randy posted. Well, I guess he made you click to find out … he’s a lawyer, so you can’t expect understandable information from his ilk.
You mean the other story? Absolute Poker. It’s all over the internet, dudes. The former CEO of Absolute Poker has been virtually busted for looking at other players’ cards in an Absolute tourney. Fucked-up, no?
actually the link says “We have determined, based on the totality of evidence, that the tournament winner “TheV0id†was in breach of the PokerStars Terms of Service.” As TBR is a lawyer I would expect him to be vague in his comments and links to avoid slander.

The winner of the main event — which paid more than $1.3 million — was disqualified when PokerStars discovered that he entered the tournament on five different accounts simultaneously. ZeeJustin-style self-collusion.

What I don’t get about the ZeeJustin thing is why he still gets coverage and press in poker media, despite being a known cheater.

“What I don’t get about the ZeeJustin thing is why he still gets coverage and press in poker media, despite being a known cheater.”
Because he’s still winning live tournaments………..not sure what he does online now but he’s had a bit of success in the traditional tourney format.
