ok most ppl know taht, this thread isnt really about that
http://pokerforums.fulltiltpoker.com...amp;highlight=
but i sepcifically remember clonie gowen playing in a live event and also in the Sunday major on ftp simultaneously
seems to me like a double std is being applied
shouldnt clonie be also fired, as this is her 2nd strike, first being that she blatantly copied jsups article and passed it along as her own
seems to me like if clonie was playing live, it would be hard to believe that she was actually the "pro" behind her computer playing the sunday major simultaneously
so, my question is, if johnathan little was fired from ftp, shouldnt clonie gowen be fired for the same exact thing?
also, please leave out the fact that clonie is horrible at poker in this arguement, as that has nothing to do with it. -
hos before bros obv how full tilt rolls
-
as in life, it's all about who you know or who you blow... Clonie won't get in trouble...
Kajun $endz -
You're definately correct.
But, the business side of it, Clonie is worth far more to full tilt in advertising/publicity I recokon.
Still cold blooded to sever his ties at 1st strike.
Still pure stupidty on his part to blow such a great deal even though he's already loaded. -
Did clonie rape them in the ass with crushing the games 24/7 taking advantage of there deal if you play in the mojor one thing but 3k or how many sit and gos is completely diffrent.
-
He didn't get fired for being successful, he got fired for violating their company policy, which is EXACTLY what Clonie did.
-
<span> When a player on Full Tilt Poker plays against and chats with a red pro on the site, it is imperative that they be able to trust that it is really the advertised pro playing the account. Given that Mr. Little violated that trust, we have decided to sever his ties to the site, and close his account.
cross posted form the link i provided....
their reasoning is that they cant trust that it was j little playing, nothing about raping them for rakeback, so based on that reason, shouldnt clownie be fired bc we in fact KNOW that it wasnt her on her account that day
ftp doug response?
</span> -
btw i brought this up to clownie a few days later when she was at my table and she blew me off, acting like she had no clue what i was talking about, pretty std response, probably bc it was her friend playing that day also....?
-
she should be fired for plagiarism long before this, what kind of message does that send about FTP?
-
true, but I'm sure the fact that he was "raping" them for rakeback had a little to do with the fact that he only got 1 strike.
-
there is absolutely nothing wrong with him taking advantage of his rakeback that they offer in his deal AS LONG as it is only him playing it obv.
-
Clonie owns part of Full Tilt, do the math you idiot
-
Jpitt thanks for pointing out the obvious. please post more imo..
Fire them all ftp... -
someone mentioned him raping them for rakeback was probably the reason he only got 1 strike. him raping them by playing tons of sng's with free rakeback could in no way factor in to him only getting one strike, valid point i think, so, gfy.
-
Its not his success its the fact he blatantly took advantage of his deal and completely cheated the site out of money by having constant sit and gos running at all hours plus the hourly fee when he wasnt even playing.
Just like any employeer the rules will be applied diffrently depending on your amount of time with the company Jon Little hasnt even been a pro for 5 months and he is blatantly taking advantage of the company. Gowens one of there Team FTP pros and a known figure in the business world if one of your top earners steals a stapler and the other is an intern using insider training who do you think will get fired.
Considering little made 30k in rake back and who knows how much in hourly rate basically equivalent to insider trading and gowen in one tourney 0 affect on anything. Plenty of red pros have prob had other people playing but they werent blatantly taking advantage of there contract while doing it. -
to be honest its not the same thing, and i cant stand clonie. the plagiarizing thing was terrible and she should have definitely been booted for that, but having her friend play her sunday donkament is not equal to jon little abusing the system like this. the part that bothers me most is that he sits atop that sng leaderboard, a leaderboard designed to give back to the players if i remember correctly. loooool. this is so much more selfish and deliberate.
-
Agreed JPitt. When they signed him to be one of their pro's, they knew he was capable of 20 tabling high-buy-in SNGs. If they didn't want him doing it for rakeback, they wouldn't have signed him.
Also the pros most likely don't get paid per hour they play. It's more likely they're under a salaried contract. Otherwise, if they play a tourney and but first hand, do they pay them 25 cents or something? -
lol im saying obv if he did it legit that it would be all good... there is no argument there. But he had his friends join in the raping for his own benefit. and thats the prob.
-
gboro, i am not judging him or her by my own standards or rules, i am jusst going by the rules and guidelines that ftp has laid out for us
-
That's why the poker world is so fucked up. There is cheating everywhere.
-
I think I have to agree with mr boro here. He is extremely intelligent and really knows how to roll a J!
-
FTP is all twisted up in knots. They have good people on the top of the business pool, but none of them run the day to day operations.
Instead, they have the corrupt idiots in the driver's seat, and this is what you get sometimes.
BTW, who here actually thinks Clonie really likes to play rebuys? -
I thought about this during the day the HU competition was happening, he had played on the same day so maybe in his house or hotel(I don't know where he calls home)? and then scrambled over to play HU but obviously FTP was looking at the situation closely since most people suspected he was letting his friends access his account.
At last count I think he made over 60K through the rake back in Feb. and broke even or about there in winnings. -
it never ceases to amaze me how stupid these cheaters are - just think of what kind of BS flies that we never hear about considering all the f'd up shit that gets revealed. It seems like everytime somebody gets caught they make the most retarded mistake in the world "like logging off from one location and having your buddy log on from his house and finish your tourney with diff IP, or having your friends play sit n gos on your ft account while you play in a live nationally telavised event.
Its sad that you need to be this stupid to get caught because it only means that sht is flying everywhere and no one has a clue.
