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.

ok, well that makes a little sense, but if there isn't any proof at all, and there was no wrong doing at all, you wouldnt just nip this thing in the bud immediatley?  Why let it fester for 2 or 3 days?

Also if he posted his side, it would be picked up by all the poker sites/communites in like 2 minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some admisssion of guilt by him. Maybe a little mea culpa. He may take the time in the interview to go over the situation completely and come clean on any wrongdoing if there was. I don't know Sorel but if he is as good a dude as everyone says then maybe he'll come clean if the story is true.

I'm pretty sure the interview will take place with bluff magazine, if so lol.  If not, I'll stick a sock in my mouth and read objectively.

btw, those of you saying what he said about andy being wrong are wrong.  If someone sits with you who cares friends or not you are there to take their money.  No friendships on the table in poker my friends.

I disagree here. Andy asked for it by suggesting that Imp was taking advantage of him by playing heads up cash when he was on tilt. LOLZ. That was probably the most retarded thing I have ever heard a "Top Pro" say. And I didn't even realize they weren't pals like andy claimed so...

Like Imp said what if Andy won? 

This cheating shit is absurd though. I guess we are all accessories by playing an unregulated game. Kind of like a drug dealer getting robbed. What is he going to do go to the cops?

I am in no hurry to deposit anymore. It used to be a priority but I am so disgusted with online poker at the moment. They don't even take citizens debit anymore which maybe a blessing in disguise for me.

wow imp is really trying to dodge bullets here... mattg accuses you of taking over an account midway through a tourney and instead of addressing that directly you just take offense to the fact that he said you gloated.. lol.. what about addressing the original claim? interview over the weekend? you hired some pr people who will try to smooth things over for you?

No, we're saying he's wrong because he outed a dude to try to take some of the heat off himself, which is clearly pretty pathetic.

edit:

ok, its been pointed out to me that  me being upset at sorel outing andy is hypocritical, as what they have both done is aganst the rules so from now on I'm in favor of 100% full disclosure

Sure there are no friends at the table but Imps intentions were different. He saw a friend was tilting(if in fact he is considered a friend even?) and joined as many tables as he could so he could play him. If he is not a friend than IMO it is fine to do this. Now he outed him which is total BS and seems so childish and the MattG thing, still waiting on a response from Matt.
