I do not know where to begin, but here it goes....

Although, admittedly, I saw the first and second page of this post last night

when there were only 100 posts I decided to let this thread evolve till

I arrived in Vegas and now I'm definitley glad I made that decision

because it has given me a clear perspective on who my true friends are and

has caused me to re-evaluate the character of those who I thought were friends/

supporters...

I really don't know where to start, there are so many things

people think they know but in reality they have no clue of. I guess I'll start

off with MattG's claims:


The fact of the matter is that the situation took place over a year ago where I messaged MattG on pocketfives during the tournament telling him I am helping my friend in this satellite so he was

aware of it. I noticed afterwords he hadn't responded so I AIMed him to

 see if he got it. I was literally astonished when I heard him

say I bragged or gloated since there is no shot I would EVER do that,

 and anyone that knows me even a LITTLE knows that is SO absurd to say.  I have no clue how he got the impression that I was bragging, but it is so wrong and I WISH I had the conversation to post on here because everyone would see that nothing I said was even CLOSE to bragging.   

 

Andy McCleod, I'm almost speechless at your post. I guess I should not be surprised that you are so immature at 16 (yes Andy Mcleod is 16 for those of you who didn't know) . If you are going to lie about your age and say you are playing professionally, then you should be able to responsibly choose your games. That is the most basic prerequisite for even playing professionally. Furthermore, I have no idea why you are pretending that we were friends. I don't even think we've talked on MSN for more than 30 minutes collectively. How you can try to say with a straight face that I took advantage of you...one of the best players in the online world...is truly beyond me, and you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to suggest that. Were you planning on returning the money if you won, or are you entitled to take free shots on tilt and if u lose simply impose a moral dilemma on the person who beat you?

 

As far as the situation with FTP goes I hope that everyone can understand

 the intense scrutiny that I am under and be respectful and patient at this

time.  I currently am in the process of finalizing a formal interview with a

major media outlet to explain the situation that has been discussed.

 Please understand that it would be impossible to address everyone's

questions/comments by responding to each one individually. 

Obviously, I am doing this interview so that I can hopefully answer

all of your collective questions and concerns.

 

I am hopeful the interview will take place this weekend, but

it will certainly be as soon as possible.  I promise to be fully open

and honest about the situation.

 

I would like everyone to know that I appreciate your thoughts and concern on this matter.  The support is appreciated. 

P.S. YTIU is posing as yellowsub and created the RIP Imper1um thread in case anyone did not figure that out.

I totally agree with Imperium on the Andy situation. Andy has nobody to blame but himself. Good luck with this situation Mr. Mizzi. Fwiw, I dont understand YTIU, he outs one of the guys associated with his little shadey clan. Im puzzled.


Love, Boke

I knew for a long time Andy was only 16.


If the MattG incident isn't true as you say, the fact of the matter is you still bought the account, and you know you can't do that. I'm not too much in the poker scene, but what's wrong is still wrong.

One thing i wonder is, out of all of Sorel's scores, how many are his, and how many are JJ's.  Obv Sorel is a great player, but just outta curiosity, I would have to assume JJ has played on his account NUMEROUS times.  Strictly an assumption, but I have wondered that for some time.

So you are basically saying the MattG thing happened differently, and ANdy is only 16.


But you didnt answer what people really care about.  WP.

guys, I posted this in the other thread. I don't think there is any proof that Sorel bought the guys seat, and I think everyone should lay off Sorel until there is more information...

Why wouldnt he just say that then?  You would think he would have just said this whole thing is ridiculous and stupid and deny it.  Why does there have to be a hollywood production if there was not any wrong doing?

Maybe he wants to do the interview so that his explanation is covered on all the forums (here and 2+2).

Jeff, youve become relaxed all of a sudden. You know something that the rest of us dont know?  I have a feeling you do.

What ActionJeff says has a lot of merit. Fwiw, Sorel is a person of character and integrity, far from a multi accounter and 100% modest about his wins, and has made very clear that there will be an interview this weekend and all will be cleared in regards to what happend with FTP. I am not defending multi accounting or shady acts regarding online poker in the least, but much goes on behind the scenes that most of us have no clue. I am however defending a person I know very well and can vouch for in terms of conduct, and until this matter is resolved with the parties involved, people must back off instead of creating a hate train and trying to run over one of the most respected and talented poker players - online or live, and who has done so much for so many players. Things said in a forum can not be taken back, so plz, wait for the final outcome and plz think before you post accusing anyone of "this and that" until the entire story is out in the open. I also don't agree with outing Andy's age, but I'm sure this was done in a moment of turmoil and they will probably iron out their differences soon, I hope. Sigh...
