matadorCC on stars

    I'm not going to beat around the bush here, I'll just get right to the point: there's an underage player who is a regular in the high stakes MTT's who has been cheating for way too long. 
    
    The culprit's real name is Brandon Barnes.  He plays under the screen names "ThematadorCC" and "Completedonk."  Brandon is 16 years old, as confirmed by his Facebook page ("Birthday: March 24, 1993"). While the screen names are clearly registered under someone else's names, they are used entirely by Brandon, and this rule infaction continues to fly under the radar.
    
    As a long time professional tournament player who also backs dozens of others, I'm tired of this nonsense polluting the game. This has gone on long enough and I'm here to put a stop to it.  I intend to bring this to the attention of the major poker sites and hope to see this little rascal go back to where he belongs: in homeroom.

This kid must be really good for you to actually rat him out publicly.  I mean I'd be shocked if 50% or more of the current ranked players didn't start out playing underage. 

If its just about the underage thing I think you calling him out specifically is mildly suspect. 

If he's really MA'ing tho then please be sure to burn him at the stake have pokerstars ban him for one month like they did to wretchy.

 Are you implying that his full tilt name and stars name are on the same site and he is multiaccounting?  All you have done is name 2 accounts on different sites. So that's wrong.


Are you claiming that he's underage and has some unfair advantage and that is cheating?  I mean if he's under age that is against the rules, but it definitely isn't cheating.

I recall getting roasted for complaining about under aged players.  Seems as though for years the whole HS community has been protecting more than a few of them.

Why post this now?

What about the others you know about who also cheat?
