Funny how i said about these young richkids knowing how to cheat months ago,,,nobody can win longterm online without cheating imo

You forgot the Lederer family...

Or do they get a different title of super-scammer?

plenty of room for growth

I'm hoping to get the next entry up tomorrow or Tuesday and get back on track now that the WSOP is over

New entry is up: Brian Townsend Burbs Poker Blog: Online poker cheaters where are they now: Brian Townsend

I'll be updating this series this weekend, so keep an eye peeled for the next entry

You can beat on line poker without cheating, the rake is lower plus you can get RB on line, you can't in a live room.

Also, isn't Justin Bonomo a reformed cheater? As I recall he multi-accounted in what like 2005 or 2006, came clean and has been clean since right?

Also, if we're creating a super scammer list with the Lederers, we need to move Russ from the cheat scammer list to the super scammer list.

It's like Meth, once you try it once... you are hooked. Reformed or not, once you get a black eye from it... your pride will be injured for life.

I was very nice to Justin in his article

I can't say I've ever tried meth. lol

I agree that you do carry something of the reputation for a long time, but at the same time, if you do honestly rehab and the poker community never gives you that chance, what's the point of ever stopping? Would you want to just continue cheating them out of more and more since no matter what you do you're always seen as a cheater anyway?

I used to date this girl who always accused me of cheating on her. For over a year I was 100% faithful, even when at least a couple times a month I'd have to fight accusations of cheating. Eventually I figured I'd show her with the reasoning if I'm going to pay the same price either way, I may as well earn my scolding.

In poker and in society, we need to give people the chance to reform. If they blow that chance, that's a different story.
