You know, I kinda felt bad for the kid after reading about all thats been going on with him throughout this whole ordeal and people saying how torn he is.  That was until I found out this kid is a f*cking racist.  I have absoltuely NO sympathy for a racist, whatsoever because that's just inexcusable in my mind.  Think it's funny to make fun of a group of people who were enslaved and brutalized for many years in this country?  That shit's funny to him?  I hope the kid gets hit by a f*cking bus and loses alot more than his poker bankroll.  Before finding out he was into this white power BS I was actually feeling sympathy for him. 

I'd also just like to state that I have 2 sources now of friends who say that JJ has been cheating at online poker for a while now.  The same source which told me he was 16 to begin with before rumors about it even existed.

Well, if he's 16 - then so what?!? Judging from this kid's results, he's definately a better pokerplayer than the rest of us combined!

And, to be honest: how many of us in this forum didnt f*ck, drink and smoke weed when we were 16??? This guy is winning truckloads of money playing poker instead - WAY TO GO MATE!!!

Well if he's only 16 years old he shouldn't be playing anyways. That explains alot.

Sure adults cheat too (which is wrong) but I don't think they'd tell eveybody about it.

I hope this game becomes legal and regulated in the US because it will spell the end of cheaters and children playing online.

All this does is add fuel to the fire for people who want to get rid of online gambling.

I agree that him playing online isn't that big a deal, but lawmakers don't see it that way.  We have to fight the battles we can win, and fighting that underage kids should be allowed to play online is a losing battle.

As someone who is a lot older than 16 I do feel empathy for JJ. Teenagers do not always make the best decision (God knows I wasn't always right at that age). With that said however, what he did was wrong pure and simple. You state "First, I want to point out, that in the last year, JJprodigy has won more money in online tournaments than ony other player with the exception of ozzy87/bigslick789."

As I stated earlier, While I have pity for JJ, I have been able to consistently earn (albeit a small profit compared to JJ) every year from online poker. If I was using multiple accounts this number may be exponential higher. Because of this I really have no reason to believe that he is all that good, and far from a prodigy. Is he better than most online player, the answer here is most likely yes, but from what I have seen he simply does not belong in the upper echelons of top poker players. Many skilled players using multiple accounts could probably accomplish what he has.

I truly believe that online poker rooms need to take this issue very seriously. If cheating and collusion are allowed to continue online, and a 16 year old can use this to take down tourney wins that account for more money than most Americans make in 3 - 5 years. The general poker playing public will get really nervous about putting their cash and faith in online poker. Stuff like this has the potential to kill the game. When the general public leaves and the "fish" leave, the sharks will starve.

Just my opinion.

when i was 16 i wouldve been on top of the world if I had a few hundred bucks  He still has a lot more than that in his bank account and still has the poker know how to make unlimited money the rest of his life.  He will be fine
