We worked with Lue Maia Bezerra twice, during his first stint (from 2023 to 2024) we had no problems.

In September the player asked to switch from MTTs to CGs which we accommodated by the team.

Over the following months, there was a marked and consistent decline in volume.

Ultimately the player chose to quit while still having existing makeup and refused to settle this amount with us.

Lue Maia Bezerra owes us $1,150 in makeup.

We began working with Oscar Liam Harding in February 2026.

He disappeared for a couple of weeks and when he finally replied to us he claimed that his apartment burned down and his father needed skin grafts for burns sustained during the fire (we think this was likely made up). He asked for some time to deal with the situation.

After a couple more weeks he submitted an audit that showed him withdrawing our funds from multiple sites.

After being asked to send the remaining funds back so we could discuss the matter, the player again disappeared and stopped responding to messages.

Oscar Liam Hardin owes us $800.

Wait so what exactly is he supposed to pay back now?
The 6.3k you agreed to add to make up but no retroactively want to remove from the make up.

This doesn't feel right although i am open to a differing view.

---------I will now supply my reply to them after this post.

You fail to mention complete lack of communication for months.

I left a review that any decent backer would have acknowledged immediately.

Your excuse? “We forgot to send the reply”

You fail to mention I was the one on the call that brought up making that money right as it was my mistake and since then you guys just ran with it and pressing me for any dollar you can get out of me when I’ve been very vocal with how broke I have been lately and everything I’m going through. You could have just asked me how I was getting to the events then like a normal human being doing business with someone would. Ida responded that I’m getting rides and borrowing parents vehicle for weekly local tournaments. No instead you want to just assume I’m lying and create theories in your head.

I communicated with you guys for the betterment of our business together and you just throw it in my face and air it all out on the internet.

You fail to mention that the “review” was 20 minutes and discussed two hands.

You love to twist my words when I said I wasn’t doing as much as I probably should be as far as improving because these fields are insanely soft and twist it to me admitting I’ve done 0 to improve which is a bold face lie.

[1:00 PM]Thursday, May 7, 2026 1:00 PM
Ive played this game full time for the last 7 years and understand variance clearly more than you guys do. To think after a 90k+ upswing that Im going to spend live funds on rooms and massage is flat out stupid. So I’m gna steal money and hope I bink something is really telling on how little you guys actually listen to anything I say or take the time to learn who I am as a person.

This game is my livelihood. My income. I would never, ever, ever, ever jeopardize my reputation over a few thousand dollars or many of thousands for that matter.

You leave out that I was the one after my big score hounding you guys to get this money from me and working out how to get it to you. (34K) You fail to mention any of the good times.

Saying my game is “declining” over a nothing sample. As you were taking my most profitable games away from me. Online was steady on the up though. Never mention that.

To me? It seems like you guys wanted to get rid of me for several months now. It’s the only thing that would explain the sudden change in how I was being treated etc.

You also fail to mention that upon signing contract you would never take games from me that I’m clearly profitable in. Which you’ve been doing for the last several months. I’m begging for more games so that I can make a living and clear make up.

I don’t think you guys even took a second to see what schedule was available to me through your “grids” cuz if you did you’d see it’s not possible to make a living like that.

[1:00 PM]Thursday, May 7, 2026 1:00 PM
Why didn’t we arrange payment plans then?

[1:01 PM]Thursday, May 7, 2026 1:01 PM
You wait several months till I’m in an even worse spot, with even less ways out (since you guys weren’t letting me play the most profitable events of the year)

[1:01 PM]Thursday, May 7, 2026 1:01 PM
This is all so stupid. It really is. Seems like it could have been so easily avoidable if you guys would just communicate with me like I’m willing to with you

[1:01 PM]Thursday, May 7, 2026 1:01 PM
But I don’t think that was your guys intention. I think you guys are grabbing on to whatever you can to just get rid of me cuz I’m downswinging.

[1:01 PM]Thursday, May 7, 2026 1:01 PM
How many close calls the past 5 months. lol one score make all the difference and I’d still be your guys’ best friend. It’s truly unbelievable to me

Since I've sent those they have not responded.

I want to just add how great Standard was when I was winning. Vegas happened, that sucked. I thought we had worked it out. Since then they made it next to impossible to make a living. I communicated thoroughly since day 1. Was never running, never hiding. I take this game very seriously. My reputation is everything in this business. Anyone that knows me in real life knows I'm an open book. pleasant and trustworthy. I may have some rough edges but Id never steal money from someone and never have. Poker is my everything. Its taught me so much about life and granted me so much blessings. Its truly sad that this is ending the way it is. Regardless I will make that lost money right even though I think it is extremely unfair and impossible the way this all played out. Regardless of standards actions toward me I misplaced that money and I will make it right. that has been my energy consistently since it happened and it wont change. That all doesn't change the fact that I'm in a TON of debt at the moment, have very little money and trying to just be there for my dad as often as I can and spend time with him.

I have nothing to hide. This is to the best of my knowledge how this all played out. I'm not exactly the political type and didn't save a bunch of dirt on them. I had some time to sit down and reply to this post today So I did. I do have receipts/ messages of this money being put on make up.

In contract make up is cleared when They stop doing business with me. To 8 months later say they are stopping business with me because of vegas seems a bit irrational. Thats what I have to say on all this. If anyone has questions. please ask. Sorry this all ended like this Standard but you guys cannot operate like this. Maybe you have a lot of bad history with people but you need to take the time to vet your players better then or something. I'm absolutely crushing these fields and its a shame we can no longer do business. I had full faith Id be clearing make up Variance had other plans and that didn't sit well with you I guess.

no dog in this fight, i agree if they converted it to makeup then they can't unconvert later

however, i just don't see how it's possible to lose 6k unless you were incredibly irresponsible with it or under the influence of something

i could see you spending it, losing it in the pits, getting robbed, but i can't see how someone who is sober and responsible would lose 6k

i say this as someone who is very absent minded and loses small things all the time, but has spent over a decade as a professional gambler, always having at least a few thousand on me at all times, sometimes far more than that, and never once have i come remotely close to losing any

Initially, the player said his mother was having health problems, then he said he didn't have time to grind because he was having construction done at home, and when he was asked to send screenshots of his cash registers for auditing purposes, he simply disappeared and stopped responding.

The player refuses to return the funds and undergo an audit.

You are liable to be reported for the unauthorized disclosure of personal data—though I suppose you are accustomed to flouting international regulations. I did nothing wrong! I *did* complete the audit, but you simply wanted to seize the money I had invested out of my own pocket. The worst part is that I actually believed you for a few days! It is ridiculous, yet entirely consistent with the arrogance displayed by certain individuals involved: you charged me 2k for the h2note 4 software—which actually costs $400—claiming the software was mandatory and had to be procured directly through you. This constitutes deceptive advertising; you are, quite obviously, dishonest. Furthermore, you saddled me with 4k in non-existent losses—a fact I am currently verifying via the reports I have requested from the German poker rooms. I personally invested over 2.5k of my own money just to play, and now you have the audacity to demand money from *me*? ...You inflated the losses while keeping the profits for yourselves... For 14 months, I was treated like a slave; every request I made for an investigation—such as the one in May 2025—was ignored, and I was told that "everything was fine!!" ...True! I was the one who was naive enough to believe you! But it is unequivocal that there is a systematic attempt here to keep people in "makeup" [debt]. Let's not even mention that you conspire against the poker rooms and local regulations—both by encouraging the use of illegal rooms and by providing methods to bypass issues regarding IP addresses, etc. You send hand histories to all your staked players in downloadable files—to be used during live sessions, not for educational purposes. That, too, is a practice that isn't exactly legal. But that is actually the least concerning issue.
Even at the very beginning of the staking arrangement, you made me cover the bankroll costs... You are ridiculous, thieves, and incompetent (didn't you know about the German regulations? And you call yourselves "stakers"?). Above all, you make unjust accusations against people. I will send the usernames of all your players to the various poker rooms and relevant regulatory bodies, along with the names and addresses of the people involved. If I cannot take direct action against you personally, I can strike at you indirectly. I even sent you the 69 euros I had managed to transfer back to you—because you people—you arrogant, brain-dead, and, above all, inept individuals—don't seem to realize that there are anti-money laundering laws in place. Anyway, I repeat: you unilaterally terminated the agreement; therefore, I owe you absolutely no explanation, and certainly not a single euro or dollar. You are thieves, and—above all—cheats. I can accept good-faith errors—and I don't expect everyone in your "school" to be a pompous, mentally deficient moron—but if this is how you choose to behave, I have these specific pieces of evidence, and I intend to make them public. I don't owe you a ****ing thing; on the contrary, *you* owe *me* compensation of approximately 2,700 euros—given that the staking arrangement was 100% backed by you—plus compensation for the 14 months during which I was treated like a slave... or actually, even worse! At least slaves were given a... ...a crust of bread and water... but we are all well aware of the Nazi origins of these individuals, so your arrogance comes as no surprise to me!! You have ruined me! Fine! But justice will deliver your just deserts... from 2024 onward, into the future.
I had downloaded everything in due course, and the fact that you blocked me from downloading the evidence does you no favors. Personally—as we say in Italy—" affanculo devi andare ." I don't give a flying **** about your little games.
I am simply happy to be out of that hellhole. I only hope you get exactly what’s coming to you. Obviously, anyone can see what happened and draw their own conclusions. I have no need to defend myself or feel uncomfortable; *I* am the injured party!

I'm not taking any sides here, this isn't the first time people mentioned stories like that about SV.
But you spent a whole well of text without explaining anything for someone reading it.
You had to pay for overpriced H2N?
You upfronted the staking BR? (Why? You can use Neteller/Skrill/ even Paypal in Germany)
You talk about that they move you to illegal rooms? All the rooms listed of your screennames can be accessed easily from Germany through an affiliate (except for Winamax I don't know how that was supposed to work).

Basically you accuse them of owing you a lot of Money, without any explaination nor proof (Screenshots? Etc), just like their initial post about you.

You are absolutely right, and I thank you for the open-mindedness that few people possess (innocent until proven otherwise...). So, in Germany, there are only four fully legal poker rooms: PS, GG, 888, and Party/Bwin, etc. The "grey area" sites include CoinPoker and the Chico network. Anyway, regarding the database sharing issue, I trust you understand that I have no reason to lie. Nor am I lying when I say that German poker rooms impose an additional 5.5% tax on winnings—something I was completely unaware of. Furthermore, when I requested information about this, their support team failed to identify any errors, despite my having a lifetime spend of over €70,000. In fact, over a period of 14 months, I personally deposited over €3,000 of my own money using methods like Paysafecard, Skrill, etc.—all of which worked perfectly (provided, as in my case, you are properly registered with AIRE—the registry for Italians living abroad). Essentially, I constantly had to top up my bankroll out of my own pocket to cover shortfalls, because their tracking system treated my gross winnings as the sole metric, ignoring the actual net balance. Instead of making that public post, they should have clarified the situation with me first; but they were in a hurry. Anyway! I still possess all the evidence: their site's CSV files detailing my transaction history, records of my payment methods, the forum posts where I requested audits, and screenshots showing how my bankroll was debited *before* I had even played a single hand. I also have proof that they used my use of Holdem Manager 2 (HM2) as a pretext to deduct an additional €2,000—charges that, under any other guise, would clearly be identifiable as fines or penalties (I’ll leave it to you to decide what exactly they were). I still have the CSV files showing how the buy-ins for tournaments—which were entirely appropriate for my skill level—were deducted from my bankroll, yet the corresponding winnings were *not* credited. I even have records of entire sessions where my losses were simply written off, while the corresponding debits were charged against my bankroll. To answer your specific question: the German authorities have informed me that, as far as they are concerned, the actual financial dispute itself falls outside their jurisdiction; however, the unauthorized disclosure of my personal data *does* fall within their purview. I have written to the 2+2 poker forum moderators requesting that they at least redact or obscure this personal data, but so far, I have received no response. Consequently, by tomorrow at the latest, I intend to file a formal complaint with the relevant German authorities: the *Landesbeauftragter für den Datenschutz* (State Commissioner for Data Protection) and the *Onlinewache* (Online Police Reporting Portal). Filing such a complaint is my legal right under the GDPR. So, today I’m playing the fool once again and choosing to believe that the email I sent simply hasn't been read yet; otherwise, I’ll have to hold the forum itself accountable for allowing this abuse to persist. As a personal note: I’ve already faced three attempted breaches of my Google and other accounts because my email address is publicly listed here.
I have a whole stack of screenshots—proof that I was locked out—but I had the foresight to back everything up beforehand. They may be Ukrainian, but I’m Italian. For the past 14 months, I’ve been far too lenient, and I’ve paid the price for it; however, that doesn't stop me from defending myself now—and sparing others from having to endure this same ordeal.
IÂ’m posting a screenshot here in good faith to demonstrate how, over these past few months, IÂ’ve been covering the "roll" costs out of my own pocket. This isn't the complete record, but it serves as proof of my good faith. The full dossier is ready to be forwarded to the appropriate authorities just as soon as the forum makes it clear whose side itÂ’s on! IÂ’m doing this solely out of respect for everyone involved. (Personally, though, I suspect theyÂ’re just trying to dodge the issue.) Otherwise, the formal complaint would have already been filed today!

We began working with Gabriel Cesar Campos in May 2026.

After a few days we noticed he had played several tournaments outside the permitted limits.

We tried to contact the player to discuss the misplayed games, but he stopped responding.

Gabriel owes us $1.5k.

I have reached out to the forum, Google, Cloudflare, and other authorities, given the complete lack of accountability from these individuals—as well as their utter disregard for the rules of the forum itself. I advise everyone to report this matter to the following government agency: https://www.ic3.gov/. I know there are people who deserve to be exposed, but I am not one of them.
As usual, incompetence renders even good things useless, all thanks to a few shady characters. However, you can see for yourselves: there are serious users here who do things properly—and then there are the incompetent scammers.
