Firstly the ten buy in issue if people enter into a multi tournament with a field size of over 1k whichwe are talking about here the advantage gained is minimal. It is the same as ten good players entering the same tournament the advantage only comes into effect when the player gets seated at the same table and colludes to gain an advantage justin has stated when this happened he did not collude the poker room reviewing the hands in question would be able to determine if this were true or not. Until it is proven that he colluded ie we see the hand history im sure justin would post this if he were not locked out his account. If the poker room releases this information and can prove he was using this position to his advantage then this is a whole other matter. But do you think the poker room will post the hand history or allow justin acces to this so he can prove his case i think not .

Secondly the point about people being all over him just read all the posts over on the other forum justin was a high stakes player are you trying to tell me the 100 plus posts are from high stakes players again i think not. If you can tell me this is the case then i will withdraw my point and apologise for getting it wrong. But i will expect you to prove to me that the majority of the players posting are people entering 500 sit n gos and entering the 500 sunday multi regualrly. I think you will find that the majority of the posters are low and medium limit players who will not have had the opportunity to make thousands of pounds a day by breaking the rule. I also know for a fact that some of the posters slating him have not even played a cash game online. Yet the still feel able ot judge him.

Also justin has never denied he didnt know there was a risk involved however the sites confiscating his money all in one go is not on. The sites knew about it previously and allowed it to carry on without takign any action (they only took action once was brought up on forums) or even issuing a warning is wrong also.

You say this will hurt online poker this is laughable as you put it. If anything this will only help online poker as it has rasied player awairness of this happening and therefore players will report more issues helping the rooms to stamp it out. Secondly it will hopfully force the rooms into being stricter with there sign up procedure again this is good keeping children out and promoting safer gaming. Aslo by putting the id checks in before allwoing people signing up will speed up the withdrawal time which again is good for online gaming.

Therefore could you please explain exactly how this high profile case of a cheater being exposed in public has been bad for online gaming.
