No disrespect at all meant to Mlagoo, but certainly some of you MTT guys at the house with far greater track records than Mlagoo were sweating and giving advice. I obviously don't know to what measure or extent this happened, and am not even necessarily saying its wrong or that I disagree with it, but it definitely violates the "1 person to a hand" rule.

This is a ridiculously awful post.

First of all, this rule does not exist online. It has been stated tons of times by Lee Jones in e-mails and posts on 2p2. So get off your high horse.

Secondly, you have no [censored] clue what happened in that tournament, and definitely don't have the right to accuse someone of doing something when you have no evidence to support it. It's things like this that hurt peoples reputations, and this isn't even a rumor, it's 100% pure speculation.

This is a ridiculously awful post.

1. Gobboboy stakes Mlagoo.
2. Mlagoo realizes gobboboy is a superior MTT player
3. Gobboboy has vested interest (see #1.)
4. You actually think gobboboy isn't going to tell mlagoo what to do/give advice because of ethics? HELL NO. (people like winning money not losing $) Gobbo essentially multiaccounted to some sense, but its completely within the rules.

the assumptions made here are absurd. one might even call them ridiculously awful. numbering your speculations and randomly generated ideas of what happened doesn't all of a sudden give them any credit, either.

some actual facts:

1. gobboboy himself says that mlagoo is a better mtt player than he (gobbo) is. i'm not sure if mlagoo feels the same way or not, but either way i am sure that mlagoo has plenty of well deserved confidence in his own game. as an observer, i can say that watching matt play is very impressive and he is a total sicko. always knows what he's going to do, very rarely finds himself in a "tough" spot because he's always got a plan, etc. the claims made since matt's win that gobbo effectively multi accounted or had more control over "mlagoo" at the final few tables are completely baseless, insulting to matt's integrity and skills, and just flat out ridiculous.
2. mlagoo kept his cool better than anyone else in the house during the last 3 tables of the tourney, which leads to the next point
2. once matt got to the final 4-5 tables, everyone in the house really started paying attention and of course adding their own little input here and there as would be expected of a bunch of excited poker players. after one particular hand with 20-25 players where 3-4 of the people in the house were standing behind him loudly expressing their varied opinions in a manner that would have annoyed me a lot more than it seemed to annoy matt, matt took his laptop and left the room. everyone else in the house watched the rest of the tournament on separate laptops in a different room.





edit: stop derailing jeff's good thread with something that has NOTHING to do with the OP. this should be the last post about it.
