Dope
Yep, cheating
Get Christian off the show. Dude admits cheating and then refuses to go into details. Great group of friends you have there.
Really Appreciate this timeline.
I love the channel and I learn a lot from it as a poker player but I’m relatively new. Terms like “ghosting” and “RTA”, “TOS/TOC” aren’t in my vocab/understanding, especially the online playing lingo. I was wondering if in the future you guys could just define terms like that quickly for newbies like me. It would really bring the story full circle. Just a thought. Keep doing y’all’s thing! Always enjoying the content, thanks.
Here straight from the the Polker Cast. Cant wait to hear your take, hopefully gonna hear that these guys are all on “the list.”
And so glad I couldn’t get past the verification stage on GG…
This pod reminds me of how much I enjoy just playing live poker opposed to online
Get the audio pod posted asap plz! I gottaa hear the rest of this one.
Great stuff guys. Appreciate your content and viewpoints
Greqt podcast! Just found you today😁 Subbed✅️
Matt Berkey gets the thumbs up from me. Seems like a really sincere man.
I'm never playing online poker again.
Don't let them win :(
I'd bet against it :)
same
Great show!
GG Poker is basically an unregulated site running off some BS license. Why would anyone expect to get a fair shake on such a site? And Berkey is so overly optimistic about potential positive outcomes. There is no way anything positive comes out of this. What needs to happen is for the federal government to make online poker legal and for it to be regulated. Everything else is fairytale.
That isn't going to happen though, ever. American lobbyists are hired by brick and mortar casinos, not some site that didn't exist 2 years ago.
There are always positives to take away from any situation. Cynicism only draws negative outcomes..
they actually have a german license since last year and also in netherlands i think, so they don't just operate off some offshore island where no one can touch them
The rake alone makes me know they are scumbags
@@Tom-df2jc No they don't. They have a license in Isle of Man and they can''t to do ANYTHIGN if you're cheated. They are working on getting other licenses to play in the states, but that didn't happen yet.
Honestly what a perfect time to launch this podcast. This has been an insane run
Imo, they are well positioned to talk about a range of topics
Great podcast thanks everyone 🤗
Imho It would be more enjoyable if you all participated more
This situation is very fun to hear people talk about. This is great.
Amazing show
I really enjoy your podcast and group of friends on the show. I don't even really play poker anymore and just enjoy the intelligent discussions.
The whole dialogue with Chin was riveting and heart breaking at the same time. I am more of a fan of Chin after that confession.
i started playing poker in 2007, I basically have quit playing since around 2019 as it definitely lost its magic and i became wise to how break even or unbeatable a live game can be with high rake, Bad Beat Jackpots, and $1 per hand or bigger dealer tips
@@videoluvr4204 how high is the rake where you were playing? :(
@@gerardsukhram4607 up to $6 per hand plus $1-$2 BBJ plus $1 tip
@@videoluvr4204 it's beatable :)
Rec player here, been playing since 06. Think I’m done playing online. There seems to be too many avenues for my opponents to have an unfair edge over me
So the dude that always took pride publicly in never using a solver and how he got to where he is via talent and hard work ran an RTA ring, befriended billionaires to get them into games to lose millions to his horses on a site he was the face of and got a piece of the rake while making sure all this time that his guys eat vegan, do yoga and drop acid into their eyeballs ? Would love to hear Bryn's side to this.
There's got to be inifinitely more that is yet unknown that may possibly seriously tarnish the game we all love.
Scariest part is that he reported it to gg and they deleted his message, they're 100% aware if not helping
And doesn't jkoon work on their security team..? 👁️👁️
Chin: ghosting is cheating
Chin: yeah, I ghosted a while ago, I don't think I'm a cheater or anything
Ya, every time he brought it up again it just made him look more guilty. Would have been better off just saying “I cheated when coming up and feel bad about it. Thanks to Berkey for making me a more honest person.”
He didn’t really own up to it fully either. Its blatant cheating no matter how you try to justify it to yourself.
i was waiting for conrad to peek in after i was his cashier on the register at marshalls today and asked him what he was doing today and he told me this!!! where you attttt !! i’m here !!
Lmaooooo
what happennnnn u not in ittttt
Best comment on this pod
This podcast deserves way more views.
Tice literally adds no value to the group. He says things that he doesn’t even think through 😂 it’s like he opens his mouth hoping to find what he will say mid sentence.
He's a young kid he is still growing
yeah i dont know why he is there the guy beside the chick as well didnt say a word
@@JeffZuccMusk he didnt even know GG was online poker 36:50
Way too cocky especially for his actual skill level and general knowledge about the poker world. But, I do think he’ll (hopefully) grow out of that egocentricity eventually
I hope that all the online tools even HUDs end up getting banned.
We need Joey Ingram !!
So true
Thumbnail deserves way more love
Can I come on the podcast soon and just sit there? Lol
There definitely should be rules that deter individuals cheaters and offenders. But more or majority of the focus on flawed systems.
Watched a Pokerstars final table that had a Tourney 10 mill guarantee with $1 mill up top, did the homework on everyone who made it and there were 4 *players of the 9 who had either not played in over a year on stars and all were playing well outside their normal buy in, what made it even more suspicious was they ended up doing a deal 8 handed with 4 players fighting for a bigger piece while the other 4 said nothing and just accepted the deal that was done (this included the 4 ghosts losing money from their ICM chop number figures ) I called it the Halloween Main Event because there were so many Ghosts at the Final table...
Halloween Main Event...I see what you did there.
Thank you, ive called out jokerstars many times to the "pro streamers" and they want to make fun of me. I got 2 outered by a players named "NuketheFish" with 100 left in Sunday Million.. I looked him up and he made BACK TO BACK Sunday Million Final Tables the 2 weeks before... Do you know the odds of this?
I Also watched a Sunday Million final table a couple weeks ago and out of 12'000 people i recognized 2 of the players "3Curry" and "Cbart05" what are the odds out of 12'000 people, 2 players who i have called out as BOTS before are at the final table?
@@nsbdbsbsbdbzbz8555 100%, i think literally half the players or more are bot accounts
@@chadwellington2524 you're completely delusional
@@fanfan7848 you cant spell, and no im not, pokerstars is a scam
Gr8 podcast 👍
Cheat or be cheated sounds like old time dirt road games. I never cheated but I did avoid being cheated numerous times by avoiding the game.
Biggest Crime Proven: SOLID LIVE POKER PLAYERS SAYING ONLINE POKER IS "RIGGED" and being called "CRAZY". People proven to have Cheated, walk away with people' s money and their is no accountability.
Where’s fridays episode at?
GGpoker started in 2014 in Ireland. Now it is ran out of the Isle of Man, which is between Ireland and the U.K in the middle of the Irish sea, also a low tax economy. No capital gains tax, no wealth tax, no inheritance tax and a "tax cap" on individuals.
Would also not rely on IOM regulation for more than collecting their cut each year
they still are officially licensed in germany and netherlands, possibly some other european countries too. So in theory they could be held accountable if any of these allegations are true
Ultimate Bet/Absolute was at one time based in the Isle of Man also. Remember that cheating scandal. Software was inserted into their sites that gave 3 "master" accounts the ability to see other players hole cards.
Loved the grant cardone take ! He is like that one guy who had the UA-cam ad saying he loved knowledge, there was a lambo in it.
Tai Lopez lol
Bryn Kenney is a weird creepy dude. Watch the interview he did awhile back with Joe Ingram and you walk away thinking this dude is not at all right. None of this is surprising.
Agreed. He’s one of those potheads that talk constantly but have nothing of substance to say. I believe the accusations. He seems the type to lie and cheat his way through life.
@@Joe_Crowley so true, he’s obvisouly a talented poker player and I guess networker but boy everytime I hear this man speak I think to myself, this guy couldn’t manage a McDonald’s. He alwyas just babbles with never having anything to say. He legit sounds like I did in 10th grade
The podcast and this review go together like pb & j
@Melissa, love the insights and perspective on almost every topic. But, the ‘yeah’s, ‘right’s, ‘uh huh’s while others have the mic is SUPER distracting. You seem to get the floor whenever you have input, no need to interrupt!!
What’s the song called in the intro ?
As a smaller stakes reg (who doesn’t cheat) on Stars, what do I do with this emerging info?
Stars is probably the cleanest site.
What would happen if everything that happened happens in live games and casino finds about it, they'll be banned from the casino. Cheating in poker results in someone losing lots of money, poker sites should post warning signs of potential cheating. Brynn should be investigated by the proper authority not the site
Is that the 17th street bridge in Pittsburgh
It’s poker man, it’s a game that has systemic cheating built in live and online. In cash games the “regs” collude with each other by not tangling and going after “the fish” and in tournaments I’ve been at tables were obvious friends softplayed each other almost so overtly that it was pretty insulting….I’ve been in games where when called out on it one person says “oh no we’re friends” as if that made it acceptable regardless of the anything but a very small buy in.
Its annoying but I don't care if friends check it down in a cash game. It's not colluding when you can buy an infinite number of chips regardless of what happens. If it were a tournament that is a different story.
@@everythingallin4905 I think you may be missing the point. You expect each player to be at war with everyone else. If you would like poker to be like Nascar where I can expect a draft from my buddy and not get pushed into the wall for making an aggressive move because I know he will back off, then that's colluding.
In my 20s I too would soft play my friends and never considered it cheating or sketchy till now
In a tournament it is wrong in a cash game it’s fine because heads up the only person making out is the house getting their rake from it.
I don’t know if this has been said, but I would equate using these non player decision making “tools” to doping. Doing something you know is against the rules and creating ways to not get caught, that is exactly what doping is.
Landon seems like a naive young deer in the wild when it comes to basically every take on this pod. He literally just reiterates exactly whatever talking point Berkey has. This pod could use some juice
Ah I didn’t feel that way.. he’s trying to be positive..
He is young. I think he is just less experienced at talking in this environment and less confident.
afterbeing in the room and listening to a podcast about cheating on GG for over half an hour, Landon didnt even know GG was online poker 36:50 and then immediately contradicts himself by saying most players in high rollers were cheating and also everyone was losing except the 2 guys accused of cheating. i dont think he knew where he was, or maybe was sleep walking
Anyone got screenshots of the Lynne tweets for context?
Lamanna's face is how I felt during this whole convo
The lsd kicks in way faster when u put it in your eye. Like start feeling it after 10 min and fully blown high un like 30 min
In a sense I'd say rta:ing in 11 $ tournaments then 25ks based on grinders from countries such as brazil or East europe might actually get life changing yield off the money they can win in an 11$ tournament
CHIN TALK INTO THE MIC 🖤
The whole ghosting thing will never be 1) solved 2) enforceable. Id take a guess that almost every single player that has ever played for a considerable amount of time has ghosted at some point. Whether it be intentionally exchanging players at critical moments, or having drinks at a mates house and the best player telling his friend what to do. In terms of the mobile poker apps etc, they are mostly a disgrace. You can still have as many accounts as you want playing the same tournament, ghosting is rife, and card sharing is rampant.
No one has found the Ai running a 1000 different trojans in small stakes.
Im confused I thought a “ghost” is supposed to be like a ghost. Meaning watch you play but they are not seen or heard. Then that ghost reviews your play with you AFTER the session is over. Is this still considered cheating? Added layer in an anonymous pool.
Ghost plays on your account deep in tournies
Think of a Ghost like an illegal closer in baseball.
If you put 10 horses in a big tourny, when one makes it deep, you have someone take over for him to finish it out
For most people who are not “pros” -ghosting/cheating on any level is not happening. It’s “pros” who are doing it which makes it much worse in my opinion
That is not true that everyone was loosing in these games to rake and only Ali and Jake were winning. You can still find the results (profit and not cashes) of pretty much all the players on 2+2 from all Blade games while they were running on GG - later they moved to N8 and those are more difficult to find. Many big names were down huge amounts but in the same time many were up millions. Just to mention some of the biggest winners: Addamo, Koon, Greenwood, Smith, apestyles(banned for some reason), Reixach(might be banned), Schindler (might be also banned) and loosers: A Nemeth, D Peters, Malinwski, Kelepuro and even Ali (-500K). The rake was $500 (2%) for these $25Ks and there are rumours that probably most of the regs were offered a 100% RB deal for playing them anyway.
I suggest putting the names of the entire podcast team in the video description (not only 3 of them)
Her name is Melissa Schubert
@@jimduggan8382 I was referrring to the entire team, I just think that they should be credited as they're all regulars.
@@argaz3 fair enough
theres only 3 people talking i dont even know why theres so many people
I just recently bubbled the ACR Venom satty. 722 entries...25 get paid...I came in 26th. Played for 7 hours. Probably played against all bots. Was 15th out of 30, and all the small stack doubled up, or got walks. Such a rigged site.
The noise gate on the mics is to short.its really annoying
When I was in a stable there were clear rules about not ghosting though...
Wow if only we had Berkey and Doug and Joey running everything in the online poker world one can dream!
Lol love it homeboy told on himself very entertaining.
One way I see online being able to be substantially safer would be to take it off of computers and phones. Poker entities like WSOP simply Have game cubes/PlayStation tape boxes as the only point of access. And those devices could have substantial security built into them.
That's a pretty cool idea
What about a site like global poker? Is that a safer option for US players? Anyone know of anything sketch going on over there?
Global Poker also has Mass RTA and bot rings. Every site is corrupted . U can find articles on the Global Poker stuff. A huge stable ran by a 20 year old pro had a RTA ring running on Global and 150K or more was confiscated.
Ghosting with a coach is wrong cause you can easily review all hands after the session.
Its massively wrong mate. Its upsetting to hear these guys try and justify it and not admit it’s undeniably cheating.
Who is Mark /Martin ? Agreeing to RTA
Mark Martin was one of the best NASCAR Cup drivers to ever take to the track, man!!
This is a huge story I’m sure there is a lot more to come, I’m assuming big names will be dragged in, I’m sure a lot of sleepless nights are ahead for some well known players.
Did Landon do too many edibles to talk 😂😂😂
What is RTAing?
Im a micro/midstakes reg trying to become pro, I've played 7000 tournies over the last 18 months on GG $10 avi and suffer the most horrendous bad beats I've ever seen non stop... and here I was believing that I was just the #1 unluckiest player in the world... and the site was fair. Now I'm convinced the entire site is a scam. Never playing there again. No part of my hand range realises the correct amount of equity. Just lose AA all the time, lose AQ to QJ all the time, lose about 75% of ALL flips... etc etc etc pure joke
What about the other sites ?
Bryn Kenney is checking every box on the Jim Jones checklist, stay away from that dude.
Lots of kool aide drank
Liked this one but the lack of information/understanding to discuss key points is super frustrating.
GG regulated
No sites see hands in real time
No sites can see screens, they can see other software open though from a meta data perspective not screen-capture.
There already are successful NFT card games similar to Magik online. There would still be risks but STILL. Not sure why they can’t improve what is out there now
The way GG is run is synonymous to Asian bookmakers
Big fan of the show, but people making excuses for Chin because of his claimed intent is BS. Even “back in the day” everyone knew ghosting was wrong. He cheated. End of story. I’m not saying he should be “black listed” along with Ali and Bryn, but don’t make excuses for him just because he is in your clique.
People doing drugs and always hustling really do think that way that people working a regular job are square and made the wrong choice in life. MANY poker players also share this view on some level. I hear them all the time.
What does BC mean?
Interesting revelation by Chin.
"for the better part of"
Doug Polk had Cole South on recently in the show titled "How Much Money Did They REALLY Make In The Poker Glory Days?" and he set the record straight re/sharing of hand histories at the 16:40 mark.....It never happened. Listen for yourselves. All three of the accused were implicitly told to keep their mouths shut by the gaming operators on the subject and to this day people are still misquoting this bit of poker history, much to their annoyance! Berkey, twice in the past few weeks!
Hastings did have the whole Noel Hays thing later, also CTS did leave some room for interpertation there...its more that they shared reads on him (Islidur) and spots where he was leaking (which friends are going to do so much about nothing IMO) Noel Hays was classic Multi Accounting though.
@@andymoiser4611 Agreed.....Just trying to stop the mistake where people repeatedly say that hand histories were exchanged..
Need time stamps
Seriously, for a former poker pro who is casually interested in latest poker news, these podcasts are vaguely titled and never get straight to the topic at hand (or at least that' my impression from the few I've tried). Without timestamps they are unwatchable for a casual interested audience.
Unlucky
Guys, they always get added but a few hours later. Always. Chill, these are very watchable.
@@Gibraltariano chill what? I just asked for time stamps.
@@RandomAmerican23 Not sure “Need time stamps” constitutes asking, but whatever. They were added less than 2 hours after your post, as they always are.
You know now anyway.
Here comes a federal investigation
Berkey is incorrect when he says GG or Other poker softwares can access your screen. It's considered as a trojan/virus if the user isnt consentent.
that may be true, but doesn't mean GG can't access your screen
That's not true. The owner of ACR said when you agree to install the software you agree to all kinds of things no one ever reads 8n the disclaimers. He said when you are logged into ACR they can see everything thing you are doing on your computer in real time. And that was a few years ago
Nah Actually, for pokerstars (the only i really know), they can see the process, services, running on your computer. They can know if you are in a virtual machine or not etc. But see the screen is another level. It's under some privacy law (in Europe maybe different in US)
@@axja422 you said Berkley was wrong about other poker software and maybe you know about pokerstars but he ain't wrong about other sites
The screen viewing thing I don’t think you guys are considering that Martin dude lived in a shared house with other people brynn had influence over I think it’s more likely brynn could have just asked someone to go on his computer also they talked about ghosting therefore people close to him having access to his pc so I think that’s more likely
me playing on gg when listening to this.. not sure if :p
28:00 non Berkey just said peep this.
What did lynn say ?
I remember when BK was on Joe Ingram's podcast during the Postle cheating scandal and Joe asked him for some life advice. I do not remember exactly what was sad, but I remember Bryn gave such an off-putting answer that I immediately wondered how much of his success was legitimate.
Interesting
@exa It sure is, I was actually in the chat the day it aired live...most of the chat cringed hard at his answer to that question if I remember correctly (and Joey looked a bit uncomfortable too >_>)
Wow, that might have been the most mid-brow discussion I've ever listened to. It was like the very definition, painful to listen to at times.
wow, your comment must be he most mid-brow comment I've ever read. It was like the very definition, painful to read to at times.
All I have to say is WoW!!
@Landon Wouldn't it be better to not have any 5bet bluffs when less than 100bb deep?
A4/A5 pure jam for 75
@@landontice4603 rather see you win by not jammin into the nuts!
@@landontice4603 5-bet jamming A5/A4s every time is like spotting 9bb/100h
Polk and Berkey are so much alike, they just express themselves differently.
Not surprised in pokerstars see many times players from few dollars win to win prestige tournament short turn means bots or rta, and I know won pokerstars 4th 480k playing in Holland but vpn in portugal why they do that?
Watch Dougs interview first to get the backstory then come here...
GG is the problem. Believe
the brynn kenny cartel!!
ACR and their sister sites Black Chip poker, and True poker promote and have Marijuana based themes. Thats enough for you to know what kind of sites they are. Not only are they super rigged, but also not professional sites.
Wow that 10 times worse than Mike postl case. Bryn sociopath
100 times worse
Chin: “This is just how we learnt to play tournaments”
Yeah by ghosting, I learnt by losing money.
You learnt by cheating. Its cheating no matter how you try to justify it to yourself. Own up to your mistakes bro.
You should change the channel name to poker gossips. Sounds about right
amazing comment Andre, amazing, thanks for this! What you've achieved in 2 sentences is mind blowing, I'd love to see what you could accomplish with an entire paragraph!
Shew. A longer podcast than the podcast 🤦♂️
most mtt regs did ft coaching and ghosting, open secret. Anyway there was enough money for everyone, so no hard feelings.
