Sounds like too much money too early in life syndrome...
Where is that Newhouse blog? Reading that in that format made my heade explode and that post kinda caught me like a bad soap opera.

In addition to what I just said above, these are the same people, (pros) that are writing and telling us about their mathematical outcomes, based on one of many theory's to use when playing online. Then on the other hand are nothing more then the low life crooks that are the ones stealing our money cheating online. One could only imagine what goes on during these big live cash games.

FACT - Compulsive gamblers, are compulsive liars.
This is only the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to cheating online. Collusion, multi accounting, etc. a serious issue for online players.
No amount of money is ever enough for compulsive and well known gamblers. Post's like this one add credence to what authors like Varrone have to say about online poker.

I wasn't singling him out Storm, I was just including his 'scandal' in a long list of shady activity in the poker world. No doubt he is a talented player, but he did intentionally exploit an unfair advantage. At least he did come clean, but Justin's story is old news anyway. Seems that according to Action Jeff, this type of thing is still going on.

From Action Jeffs blog:

I've been considering making this post for a couple weeks, and I think right now is the ideal time.
Over a year and a half ago, there were many top players who put multiple accounts in the big Party Poker tournaments. It was sketchy. It was clearly at best "treading on a gray line", as I believe Shaniac put it in the big p5s thread on this topic when it first arose.
Well, there is no longer a grey line. There is no excuse. Multi-accounting tournaments is cheating! The sites have all specifically stated that this is cheating. Examples have been made and hundreds of thousands of dollars have been taken from people, accounts banned and more, to make it clear that this is cheating.
I may not be the best person to post this, as it is somewhat hypocritical of me. I'm friends with many who have gotten in trouble in the past for multi-accounting. I've had financial stakes in people who were multi-accounting. I've bought ... | | Read Entire Entry |
