Looks like they are being played on by Hastings recently.Originally posted by Jam-Fly View Postand basically this was the reason I felt the need to have it confirmed. Surely can't be much of an upside to having your name constantly mentioned in this negative publicity.

We could ask him but he won't reply. There is a thread on 2+2 about it which he reads several times daily.
Post 47343904 -Poker discussion forum with over 500,000 members and 100 different poker forums. Learn poker strategy & sharpen your poker skills for tournament poker, texas hold 'em, five card draw, omaha hi lo, seven card stud and more plus talk poker TV, and dozens of other topics.
So why ask him on here when he has said nothing since the start of this account actually being a winner? Why hasn't he replied on 2+2? Why the silence?
Cause he has done something retarded and wrong despite working in similar businesses. Anyone who isn't a retarded lick arse fan boy knows that he is a lick arse fan boy himself. If the account is him, fair play to him, keep winning but he probably jumped at the chance to sell his account to someone he wants to be.
Silence is deafening.

I have been following the thread some but been very busy this summer playing the WSOP. I'm aware of the allegations, but at this time I have nothing to add to the conversation publicly. I stopped caring what strangers on the internet said or thought about me many years ago; otherwise I probably would've jumped off the deep end by now. What I do care about is something like this being a major story in the poker world at a time in which the WSOP is in full force and we should be trying to promote and grow the game of poker, rather than drag it through the mud. Think what you want about me, but one thing I have in common with most people reading this is that we love the game of poker and want to be able to play it freely in the comfort of our own homes. I'm moving back to PA soon to play 400/800 mix live and be closer to Sonya's and my parents, and state regulation of online poker would be a nice cherry on top.
I think especially those of us who are professional poker players should be taking steps to try to promote and grow the game, rather than feeling sorry for themselves because Cardrunners was founded, Black Friday happened, everybody is too good now, etc. With enough hard work, I truly believe that just about anyone (at least anyone smart enough to be browsing 2+2) can make a living playing poker in 2015. I think it's unfortunate that certain people have been on bad runs and choose to take their frustrations out outwardly rather than by trying to self improve, but I get it, it's certainly not always easy. I did not turn a profit in 2 of the previous 3 years, but with an improved mindset, an amazing woman in my life, and a strong work ethic, I've gotten my game back to where it needs to be.
This will be my last post in this thread. If you'd like to discuss further with me I'm just a PM away.

My favourite post in that 2+2 thread .....
Re: Brian Hastings accused of Multi-Accounting as "NoelHayes"
He must have known he would get busted since pros would recognize his play and an old businessman wont play at this skill level. So since cheating will be a big hit to his reputation he probably decided to not hang around at the poker scene anymore on beforehand and thus might as well book a winning online while its still possible at high stakes.

Hastings post might be my favorite in the history of 2+2. So arrogant and condescending without actually saying anything at all. Could easily be written as, 'Haters gonna hate, rubbing money on my titties.'They will be like WTF how does he always have the top of his range, and they will be saying that when you show up with like nine's - Jimmy Fricke
Nine's are the top of my range - Shaun Deeb

You would have to wonder why this is has come to such fruition now,
Imagine the people who made bracelet bets with hastings, what exactly did they think hastings was doing, taking over 100k in equity in bracelet bets... jerking off in the pool, obviously he was working on his game,
The same guys who laugh, at the stories of legendary prop bets between poker players
when some legend has rigged the game in their favour, have now gotten a taste to what it feels like on the other end, they are hiding behind the facade of MA while obviously wrong does not make up for the fact they did not do their due diligence before trying to make some easy money on a player who in their minds was not that good

I fail to see the problem here. If I set up a poker account and pick Phil Babb as my user name - are people going to be that annoyed when they find out that they are not actually playing against Phil Babb?
Or did I miss something.?
EDIT: I see he is accused of multi accounting - correct? Is it just by chance that he's using the Noel Hayes username as one of his accounts?Last edited by newbie2; 25-06-15, 16:41.

Seemingly, Hastings told some of his high stakes friends that he was using the account himself, but he never told others. David 'Bakes' Baker being one that was left out of the loop, and he started all the uproar) with these 2 tweets
Bakes was pissed off that he wasn't privy to the information about who was behind the NoelHayes account, and he and others thought it was just some 'rich fish'. As with all poker scandals, they gather so much pace that threads pop up all over the place, and everyone has their say. Hastings (and our own BCB) kept getting called out to say something on 2+2, and Hastings finally came out with his BS reply above, and it's probably going to blow up again over the next day or so.

Pretty scummy thing for Noel to do regardless. Assumed it was one of the Irish poker people using the account.
A more interesting question is who is funding the account and how is money being redistributed to the players? I'm guessing at best that's a legal grey area and not something I'd want to mess around with.Looking for full or part time poker and betting writers. PM if interested.

Originally posted by hotspur View PostI meant the current online focus is all on Hastings, and I'm sure Noel wouldn't want to do anything to bring himself and his reputation into the theatre of argument. Not commenting at all is the way to do this.
Given one post called Noel a "lick arse" I presumed it was CHD.

very good of him to think of the bigger picture. Pity he didn't just think of that originally and you know, not multi-account.

heh
Brian Hastings (born June 24, 1988) of Hanover Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania is an American professional poker player known for his three World Series of Poker bracelets and multi-accounting. He is also famous for beating Isildur1 for over $4 million, in which he is suspected of datamining.

Originally posted by Jam-Fly View PostI don't think the two are as related as some people are making out. Hastings allegedly multi-accounting and Hastings making bracelet bets are separate issues. As someone mentioned in the twoplustwo thread, unless someone explicitly said "Have you been playing high stakes mixed games online? If so, then I am not taking the bet" then it's fair game. The people who have the right to feel most aggrieved are those that played against NoelHayes and did not know it was Hastings playing on the account. Those who made the bracelet bets have little to no case imo.

GIngers really do have no soul
Well done Noel Hayes you just single handedly made the Irish poker community look bad. You're a special kind of stupid (desperate) if you thought people wouldn't cop that is wasn't you "a fucking whale" and not a high stakes elite player on the account. No money was worth selling you're account for, and the fact you didn't consider that it woild drag the rest of us through the mud when you got caught is insulting!!! Shun him it's the only way we don't all come across in a very bad light!!!!

Why is everyone going so gaga?! Its fucking online poker.... someone tried to get an advantage by playing under an alias and someone MIGHT have gotten paid for it? So what? Leave your morals at the door when joining in to a game IMO.

A good casino can make sure they don't happen. Ratholing is hard to stop but a player aware of whats going on in the game should notice it?
I don't agree that any of the three are OK but people need to look after themselves and stay away if they think they might get cheated.
How "moral" is it to bumhunt and only give action to bad players?

Pretty scummy by all involved. Never liked Hastings, would not have expected Noel to be desperate enough to sink to these depths. He's minted now, so why do this?

Bumhunting may be looked upon unfavourably, but how you can draw a comparison there is mindboggling. You are not forced to play anyone who you don't have an edge against. You can choose to only play weak players, that's fine. But choosing to buy someone else's account to fool players into playing you, well that's pretty low. Maybe you are blinkered because you know one of the people involved. Still doesn't excuse the shocking lack of logic in your posts though. Unreal.
