I can't help but feel this is one of those win/win situations. Amirite?

"Some parts of my course might be taken out, because the current content is so revealing, that casinos and poker professionals think that I'm telling too much.
So your best bet is to get the original version of my MP3's right now, while it's fully discounted and uncensored, at this fantastic introductory price!" |

However, Micon and Justin Smith cannot be compared. While Smith is clearly a scammer, Micon isn't. [/ QUOTE ] - Scammer - Liar - Cheat. One of the subjects in this little episode can wear all three tags. One can wear two. Who cares who is the better person? They are both flawed units and are made for each other. I am still not sold that it went down the way it was described; too many logistical questions. |

Now a transvestite Independent Host is in play. You can't make this stuff up, can you?

If you don't like Micon personally, or you are turned off by his snake-oil-salesman-type marketing of his product, that's fine. However, Micon and Justin Smith cannot be compared. While Smith is clearly a scammer, Micon isn't. [/ QUOTE ] I don't know Micon from Adam. From the little I've seen of him, he strikes me a quirky, funny guy. However, I disagree with your point here. Smith strikes me as less a scammer, than a degenerate gambler who has gotten in over his head -- borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. There's a lot of them about in the gambling economy, and most professional gamblers have made money from them when they've been across the card table. We just don't like them when it happens to be our money that they're playing with. Micon, on the other hand, is deliberately and systematically playing on the gullible. Those poor saps who read his advertising copy, and lack the critical faculties to seperate dreams from reality. He states many times that a beginning player can easily make $30k a month at online tournaments, and suggests that the average beginner can expect to be making $50k every two months -- yet according to his website, he just shows one month where he made this much money. If he were making it on a monthly basis, he'd be posting that, so I think we can safely assume that $30k was his best month ever. While marketing like that may be legal, at the very best it's deceptive. And I'd argue that it's very doubtful that anybody who lacks the ability to dissect Micon's marketing critically stands any chance at all of being a long term winning player, so what he's really doing is roping in the suckers while he fleeces them for $100 a pop. And if this other guy is such a douche, what was Micon doing spending so much time hanging out with him? There's a saying among con artists, and I see no reason why it isn't applicable here: 'You can't cheat an honest man'. |

Run the mouse over it and the pic is literally titled "Bryan wearing WSOP Bracelet". What a douchetard. Navy officers have committed suicide after being discovered wearing medals or ribbons they were never decorated with, let alone showcasing them for commercial purposes. Micon has no leg to stand on here, he's the wolf crying wolf. |

Re: Bryan Micon Rolled for 12k by O-town singer\'s buddy
Dude representing yourself as a bracelet winner when you are not one is really fraudulent to poker players. There was a football coach, I forget from where who used to tell his players stories about being in foxholes in Vietnam during the war and then it came out that he had never been in the military or gone to Vietnam. He was fired a few days later I believe.
Now that this Independent Host is involved I predict Justin will explode because now the cat is getting out of the bag. Now he knows that this girl will start telling people around the clubs about this website and his affinity for rolling people. His little game is over. Now on to finding out who dropped the envelope on that girls doorstep.... |
