nice read

Great. Now this can turn into another thread about that old post from way back rather than answering the OP.

[Mr. Orange]

Nice read but that doesn't really answer the question.

[Tonding]

Maybe Diablo can fill us in , because he said in there

Mods,

This should be moved to OOT, that's the forum where short fiction belongs!

Yeah, I don't know what Giga did to garner such ill-will from some people.
ElD and others seem to know some specifics about whatever it was he did. But I have zero idea what it might have been and naturally am interested.

Lat I heard on the subject is that last year, Giga had a bet that was pretty well known about that he would win the Stars leaderboard. There was a TON of cash on this, and Gig lost, due in part to teams of players playing single accounts and supposedly some players paying other players to cockblock Gig on his tourney tables. It has been said that Giga never paid, I believe by El Diablo, and Gigabet has been MUCH lower profile for the last year or so online. I used to talk to gig every couple weeks or so, and when I did in Feb, he said everything was cool, even though I asked him straight up if there was anything wrong, and why he had been making outlandish posts, ( like the one above) and people were talking crap about him. He just said everything was fine, and I haven't been able to get ahold of him since.

So he didn't pay up on the leaderboard bet? Not hard to imagine that, given the way he flaked on the Giga-challenge.

I think you've broken some unspoken rule by actually posting specifics on the Giga issue. Nice work though, thx.

All,

Most of what Giga posted about his bankroll, his results, his poker achievements, etc., were complete lies, a big fiction created to enable him to con lots of people out of lots of money. Some people were able to recover their money after he made a score or two, others weren't.

is this story detailed anywhere else? I'd search for gigabet, but I'm afraid it might crash my computer.

And question: why hasn't gigabet himself posted since the ZJ cheating [censored] hit the fan?
