  1. This is pretty big -- PokerStars decided to let ZeeJustin back on their site. He is registered for SCOOP event #1.

    See a story here: http://www.pokernewsdaily.com/zeejus...kerstars-1800/

  2. Whoa, this thread could get interesting.

    edit:
    FIRST!
  3. If this is true, I personally think he has served his time and it's ok for him to be "unbanned"
     
  4. PokerNewsDaily.com = TheNuts
     
  5. I think he is a good guy who has done more than enough to get his respect back...
  6. sik
     
  7. From what I have read of this player, he seemed to acknowledge his wrong doings, and served a fair enough penalty for it. Best of success to him in the future.
  8. Well they better let Josh and everyone else who did this back on their site as well. Just because ZeeJustin is friends with KidPoker and had some decent results live doesnt take away from what he did.. stars definatly dropped the ball here.

  10. I never had a problem with the guy. Making an example of his situation definitely helped serve the community, and now ZJ serves the community with mucho respecto.

    Congrats to him!!
  11. Cheating ok, when you know the right people.
  12. I agree that if true, I don't have that big a problem with it. He served his time in, from all accounts, an honest way and gained respect in the poker world. He went about it the right way. Consider it early release for good behavior.
     
  13. in
  14. Cheating "OK" on Porkerstars?? who woulda thunk...lol gl luck to "JJ" as well..
  15. I'm 100% behind this move. Security is a priority at pokerstars, and I believe that they would not allow this to happen if they had reason to believe that he was still a threat.

    GL at the tables Justin
  16. I am ok with this, dude has admitted his wrongdoings and hasnt cheated since. ZJ is nothing like JJ. Welcome back, Justin.

  18. Scoop leaderboard winner!
  19. I think it's a great move.

    Zee is a great example of someone truly being apologetic and making amends by being contrite and staying out of trouble.

    Zee being reinstated is a win/win for stars. It shows they take the issue serious enough to ban someone for a lenghty time, but they can also show compassion and reinstate an account if the person shows true remorse and does right.

    this is pretty far off base as the main reason that pokerstars unbanned zeejustin is bc of what they deemed to be "good behavior" since his incident. the same can hardly be said to be true for jjprodigy.
  21. He was one of the kids I looked up to and watched play alot back in the day. He served his time, and deserved this. Im sure hes learned his lesson, good news imo

    I knew I would be totally in the minority about this.. Because your all friends with him. But what he did is supposedly the death sentence of online poker.. Akin to gambling on baseball. (Pete Rose) But your going to let him play 3 years later just because he has alot of friends in the community now.. Where do you draw the line? Which guys do you let back on the site? Its not right to let Stars pick and choose who the perceived good guys are to who the bad guys are. You know for a fact that Justin will not do this again? Why is that? Because he has some good live results.. Being good at poker doenst make you a good or bad person.. I dont know Justin never met him. So I have no clue.. So maybe you can all enlighten me on how he would deserve reinstatement from a lifetime ban over anyone else.

    So how is the random cheater clearing or proving himself to be worthy of stars forgiveness? Posting I'm sorry threads and saying I was wrong? I guess you need a sponsership deal with another crooked outfit and play there for a while. This is a fuckin joke Stars.... He may be a nice guy and good at poker but HE STILL CHEATED!!! Next everyone's rooting for Russ Hamilton on UB

    Yeah you're right...everyone in prison deserves a life sentence too imo. He'll never learn if you give him a second chance...vigilence is needed.

    It's a joke how everyone on here can continually bash UB about cheating players and then all the sudden someone should be allowed to serve less than a lifeban for cheating you .. just lol...
  29. i'm cool w/ it so long as they free thenut21
