Martin Zamani vs Ryan Depaulo

This sucks so much. I love RDP and I don't want to believe that he cheated, but it looks pretty bad that he didn't even try to deny it and was begging Zamani not to leak it on stream

Im with RDP even though i hate that he plays slots. This zamani or zimbobwae guy can go eat liberal dong

Ryan’s obv guilty lol. Pretty stupid to start shit with someone who’s got dirt on you.

The begging…‘I’m sorry, bro’….’my whole career is based on people liking me’…Jesus, pathetic.

who

any clips at lest you all expect for everyone know whar your referring to ? **** thread so far....

but im intrigued

if this turns out to be a thing about a shitty hustler etc stream im gonna be dissappointed

RDP is about 13 intellectually.

I think the other guy should respect such a substantial disability.

I love the old school RDP videos, still watch the new ones, but meh.
That said, this whole begging/pleading look isn't what I'd expect from him. Don't love it

Its about a recent clip from WSOP Bahamas were De Paulo and Zamani disagree on how a clueless whale's action should be interpreted. Whale ends up being forced to muck his hand and would have won.

With how RDP plays, anyone that can fog a mirror should have known he was ghosted in at least some of his online wins. He struggles in 1/3nl and 2/5 live cash hands against Jersey plumbers, of course he needed help in tournaments with strong players that aren’t mouth-breathers. That doesn’t change my opinion of DePaulo and will continue watching his videos for what they are, lighthearted entertainment from a weak player with a gambling addiction.

So cheating only matters if you don't like the person?

DePaulo is insufferable.

You underestimate the amount of luck and overestimate the amount of skill it takes to win a tournament here and there. I have seen some absolutely clueless players at the final tables of Borgata events (think $600/$2Mil GTD with 4000 runners). Also, RDP is arguably better than someone like Qui Nguyen who binked the Main Event before. An aggressive player who takes chances and knows some basic tournament strategy always has a shot. Moreover, if you take a look at his hendon, his online results are overall consistent with his live results (with majority of online cashes coming from one big score).

Texts don’t look too good for RDP. Bummer if true I’ve always enjoyed his vlogs.

Not a good look for MZ either, he is fine with staying silent about alleged cheating as long as he gets his way so this says alot about him. Neither comes out well tbh.

They both look like scumbags but if Ryan was the one who actually cheated that's way worse than Zumani.

Although these days if Dnegs likes you cheating is fine.

i read it pretty clearly as it was martin's good friend who did the ghosting - hence why it would hurt him too

and this is precisely why martin will put out vague rumors with strong substantiation without clarifying what it is because he doesn't want to hurt his friend who ghosted

Almost every high stakes MTT player is guilty of ghosting at some point in their career. Would bet money that at some point in Zenani poker career it’s happened. It’s nearly impossible to enforce I would rate it as one of the lowest forms of actual cheating up there with multi accounting (not tourneys where you have more than 1 entry, but more so for cash players that want action they may not normally get). Not condoning cheating just saying that it’s so easy to get away with it that I assume it’s happening at a very high frequency

The bolded is laughable.

Now I'd agree it happens a lot and I think there is tons of cheating online in general.

I wasn't aware the alleged cheating involved ghosting, that's my bad and therefore apologise to MZ for my first post. Thanks for clearing that up, I should have read more into this before posting.

I’m jaded. I know more than y'all do sorry to say. Incredible amount of shadiness that’s occurred at high stakes MTTs for many years now

I always just assume I'm being cheated online. Too much incentive with zero consequences if caught.

The texts say he cheated for his bracelet and with the allegations of ghosting I guess the implication is that someone else was playing for him when he won an online bracelet?

I'm not making any allegations, just trying to understand what is being alleged here.

didnt he win his big online tournament sitting in a car in a car park?
