The great "Poker is rigged" debate - Collected threads edition
Bad beats are part of the game. I understand that. But after absorbing more than my fair share on Poker Stars I switched
Its a matter of record. They tracked every other player perfectly with tons of players with over 20k+ games, none of the data being wiped. Why would sharkscope wipe ONLY yoar games but leave 78?
Also, you could be lying about it being your main site for years or that you were actually any good 15 years ago.... It sounds strange right, but then again, you've been caught lying before. Even when its really obvious and not even possible chronologically.
You didnt but you did brag about a silver star. Probably without thinking of the logical next step because thats what you do.
Probably you also didnt research your sharkscope numbers because you think research is "unhealthy"
Your recollection and memory often seemed to have failed you and not comply with the real numbers at all before so I think that just happened again. It really isnt more uncanny than sharkscope picking you out to throw a chunk of tournaments away but keep them for EVERYBODY ELSE.
Also, if sharkscope is lying about your numbers how can we be sure they are not lying about your precious silver star since they got you all wrong??
I had the star for years with the games and profit, i cant explain why the star remains, but the figures have gone
Nobody can waddy thats the thing. But im a bit disappointed that even you cant think of a next lie to justify these numbers.
Remember just yesterday when you told these numbers were this way because you tried it out after the migration to pokerstars even though its the 8 years prior to that and therefore cannot be possible?
And whats even more uncanny is that the numbers have stayed up there for literally everybody else. Its ONLY you that lost the numbers. This conspiracy goes deep, but remember waddy: Whenever you hit rock bottom, grab a shuffle and dig deeper:p
i believe that TheWaddy earned a silver star on Sharkscope, by playing 78 games over 7.5yrs and this is the amount of games he ever played there
I dont have to "believe", I can just check. You can do as well as well.
And with these facts I am completely comfortable swearing on my mothers life/memory whatever that means to you.
You think its odd that that phrase has never been said before? You realize your sharkscope results on full tilt were posted YESTERDAY?
But lets see if you hold the same conviction of your claims even though they go against the laws of time themselves:
The 78 games was to try it out when Pokerstars had got their grubby influence, switching it to their decks
Can you swear on your mothers life/memory the above made claim that you only played there to check out the new rigged deck from the migration to pokerstars even though you played there from 2008 to 2016 and the full tilt switch to stars happened after that in 2016?
If you dont, you were caught lying (which you are)
If you do, thats bye bye mommy I fear :p
odd that when they claim to be speaking the truth, hmmmmmm?
Lets see if these two conniving idiots will type the sentence.... then again they are so low, they might......
You think its odd someone hasnt said anything in a way that means they are convinced. But if they say that sentence they are so low???
Are you getting paid each time you contradict yourself within the minute? Because if thats true I believe you have made a fortune.
It'll be the first time you actually proved anything so best of luck
Might I suggest to you looking up your sharkscope profile, all the proof is there to see 😉
Slugant/Donjohnnie... will you post these words;
'I swear on my mothers life/memory that i believe that TheWaddy earned a silver star on Sharkscope, by playing 78 games over 7.5yrs and this is the amount of games he ever played there'.
In your own time. As i said anyone involved in Poker sites avoid this and as i said, they answer with all sorts but never are prepared to back their comments to this extent.
Regardless of the Sharkscope incorrrect figures shown, you have stated that i 'never got out of micro stakes' just recently, so you didnt need any proof from there anyway. So in your opinion, this would be wholly consistent as me as a player, right?
We litigating Sharkscope stats again?
TheWaddy is JohnMir2.0???
LMFAO
If you seriously think that i played 78 games on FullTilt, my main site for years, not only for my own account but as a staked player, then feel free to do so!And i encouraged people to look at this did i!??I had the star for years with the games and profit, i cant explain why the star remains, but the figures have gone.... i dont work for Sharkscope or any other poker related
TheWaddy
I don't have an account at SharkScope but I had a look at their site to get you a contact address, so you can ask them why their figures are only wrong for you. (It's, fairly obviously, [email][email protected][/email], btw.)
While there, I used a free search and saw:

Do you swear on your mother's life that you don't have the wit to check anything anywhere before you go off on one of your rants? Or are you going to say now that it was your master plan to post this as your big reveal?
I am going to enjoy today. We know Slugant will try and turn what is shown and proved into another belittling angle, it is what he does with every single person who wanders in here with an opinion different to his.
He will have to basically frantically try to come up with more belittling thoughts, to try and somehow salvage some credibility.
I have made good money on sites like Full Tilt, been staked on this site, but have made alot of money anywhere i have played.... VC Poker, thousands, Betfred poker, thousands etc. I even joined an obscure site which was the foundation to qualify to be staked (im sure it was 'Golden' something, maybe Palace), where i turned $10 into $1000 in a few weeks.
I play for small stakes now and have for quite some time. Not because i started losing. It was because i could see what was happening leading up to and after Black Friday and no longer trusted what i was seeing on an hourly basis. The endless outcomes were not possible and had come out of nowhere....and just before this online poker was already being talked about as 'unsustainable'. I still played, but only a fool would play for the money i was previously when i knew the game was no longer 'a proper game'. I was happy to play small stakes, just for fun... i was convinced The Gambling Commission would not take long to get to grips with what was happening.
It had become a new version, one that was adjusted in order for sites to survive. Sites started switching to platforms, grouped together and no longer using their own software. These platforms seemed to offer them ways of survival, that their own software could not.
And so was born the modern day online poker. Literally happened over a few months. A deck that could enable site survival, offer losing players a way of retaining accounts, greasing large volume players, etc, basically a hugely sophisticated deck that worked tirelessly to provide the best outcomes for the site. A site could not survive without this new technology and it was an easy sell.
Could i play at the same mid stakes, increase volume and take advantage? If i was wrong that was too bigger chance to take, i would be mad to lose what i had won over many years playing with a deck i knew to be not right. But this was a temporary thing right? I play small until regulation kicks in. It has to right? Sadly it never did.
The winning has continued but im playing 'poker', whilst folding etc, in situations im never folding with a real deck.... such as flopped nut high straights at PLO8, with one low card heads up.... crazy huh? Not when the hand never, never holds up online its not.
I would never be comfortable playing mid stakes having to play like this. It would drive me mad, im a poker player not a gamer. So i play small whilst watching tv, laugh at the outcomes, laugh some more and make a bit of holiday money whilst not taking things seriously.
I WOULD like to take things seriously though and continue to campaign to be able one day, play poker online.
Now lets move on to some of the comments, just born out of pure speculation, that i have had to endure since arriving here and especially the very recent ones...... along with proving one or two points that i have been told im lying about on numerous occasions.........

Wow..... are you actually turning this into something where im in the wrong!???
Late last night i emailed Sharkscope, as i dont take well to posts from people who throw out accusations/lies about me just because it enters their heads.
I did say that i would attempt to prove this..... but it appears you dont like that fact and somehow want to protect Slugant, whereas most moderators of sites would be removing their slanderess posts.
So i emailed Sharkscope on why the stats were not showing;
Remember;
Slugant said;
Its a matter of record. They tracked every other player perfectly with tons of players with over 20k+ games, none of the data being wiped. Why would sharkscope wipe ONLY yoar games but leave 78. It sounds strange right, but then again, you've been caught lying before. Even when its really obvious and not even possible chronologically.

[B] Whenever you hit rock bottom, grab a shuffle and dig deeperWaddy, Im truly excited to see what mental gymnastics you will have to perform to not acknowledge all of these undeniable truths.[/B]
Even though these hands started 8 years prior of pokerstars taking over and ended before it.
It simply is in conflict with the laws of time
But even thewaddy must realize he has been caught with his pants down here.
Because he did the most Trumpian thing he can do; when faced with a provable lie, yell at the top of your lungs that the other guy is twisting the truth in a fashion never seen before.
What are you not understand about this data?
Why are you making up that the numbers were wiped because of a pokerstars takeover even though what they tracked was the 8 years before that even happened
You are in fact the only culprit of "THE BIGGEST TWISTING OF TRUTH." and unfortunately for you, everybody can see it now
On full tilt he even made €13 a year.
I did say multiple times he couldnt escape microstakes, and therefore he isnt good (although maybe not down lifetime). He might think of himself as good because he is up a few bucks, but put it all together and its 1 buy-in for an actual decent player. So its nothing to be proud of, in fact after 25+ years its embarrassing.
But hey, what if I told you one of them actually has a revolving silver star for making €13 per year from 2008 to 2016
And much much more.
I dont know if you can see the reply well, but yes they basically confirmed that data can omitted and that 'older archived sessions from the defunct Full Tilt network may no longer be fully accesible if they werent carried over during historical database consolidation'.

So i asked them what did the revolving star represent, surely this was from past figures that had been wiped and not for something within the 78 games shown. Maybe they could just clarify what that represented in order to salvage some kind of proof of my past history.
So i got a reply from 'Rex' this time.... they looked into it with a bit of tech and managed to recover a sample.
Lets consider some of the posts ive had written about me in the past;
Slugant 7/6/26 3.37pm; 'guys there are enough big winners out there.... the only reason you are not part of them is that you are not good enough'
Slugant 3/6/26 12.08pm; 'you especially.... never seem to have a healthy relationship with poker. They are also losing.
Donjohnnie 2/26/26 5.19; 'you are just some dude who is not good at poker and are a sore looser' (he couldnt spell loser, nevermind)
DonJohnnie 7/6/26 10.22am; 'the reason you lose is that you are a terrible player and generally not very smart' (love that one on so many levels)
Donjohnnie 7/6/26 10.22am 'why do you keep making up this nonsense, your points are just made up. I love hearing your take about PLO h/l by the way. You have got no idea how to play that game at all, its quite funny'
'you really dont understand logic or poker, or pretty much anything else'
'the crazy persons response is claiming it to be rigged where a person with the right poker mind will try to figure out why they are getting beat'
I could literally find stacks more of these quotes. They type these things without knowing anything about me.

This is a small sample from the back end of my time on FullTilt. I can prove this as if you hover over the $ sign on tournaments, it shows games im playing heads up for $50 at like game 500 or so in this 8695 game sample..... i did not start playing $50 for some years, clearly i had to build up to this. $10-$20 games over years are missing.
The above shows cashes as £65000 with the dates inc to 2016.... whereas in 'publish' there is an achievement of reaching $100,000 in cashes in 2014, with still 2yrs behind the first figure. So there is a huge amount of data missing as they say there will be from the earlier years.

Im sorry to expose you guys for making unsubstantiated personal claims. I may have an opinion you dont like about online poker, but as one human being to another, this behaviour is astounding.
I literally have no idea what exactly a Silverstar is or what it means. Its a silly badge I dont give a damn about.
I also have no idea why you so triumphantly declare to be right.
I have in my last post already pointed out that there is a thewaddy account that has been beating micro stakes for a while.
That could be you for sure. I mena if you play micro stakes omaha h/l if you know that a low exists that makes you better than half the field already. Its tough not to beat these games.
It also looks like you used to play a bit higher than right now before black friday. I wouldnt quite call it midstakes, no iea where you got that idea, but yeah 6 bucks average stake so the higher end of micros while now you play the lower and of micros still win but at a smaller clip.
I suppose even micros got tougher post black friday.
I will leave you with some quotes that Slugant has said to ME, his opinion on me. See what you think.
'Slugant 3/18/26 1.03pm 'you cant just blurt out random thoughts and lies that fit your narrative'
Slugant 07/05/26 12.24pm 'its all made up nonsense without a source and most importantly, without any evidence'.
Slugant 3/13/26 1.54pm 'the amount of times you say something as if they are facts, while they are visably untrue is astounding'
Can anyone spot any of this in his posts about my account at Full Tilt?
I would have thought a decent person may offer some kind of apology..... but if we know him well enough he will try desperately to deflect by going down the road of 'its not alot of money(ignoring missing data from fulltilt, vc poker, betfred etc) and 'oh its so long ago' etc. Thats not the point. Your way of posting is the point.
But lets just focus on how he goes about his day and just this, instead of figures. Its who he is and what he does. This can not be denied any longer.

The first guy wanders in, continues down the familiar line.
Perhaps take in this is a small sample Sharkscope managed to retrieve.
$50 HU sng is midstakes+, hover over the earlier $ signs. See the increase on a steep slant. Was i losing, if not why did i stop? See the $100,000 cash achievement showing. There is a huge amount missing, as confirmed in the email, if you believe $100,000 was made from microstakes, then feel free to continue to misquote and disbelieve, i dont really care how much you show yourself up.
The spinning star is explained under 'leaderboards'. At its peak Full Tilt was second only to Pokerstars for site traffic, achieving 40,000 players at peak hours. Sit and go's you had zero wait on them on tap. I played $10 - $20 HU during this time over a variety of games .... Omaha hi lo, Razz, Stud hi lo, HORSE, each with their own regs and no wait for games. The star is for profit of that level of SNG for stud tournaments, 20th place for the year 2009. I know you will discredit this, its cool, its what you and Slugant do. But it was a collassal amount of games on a 40k player site and 20th is an achievement that tells you at worst that 'i have a clue'.... which you often claim i dont.
Maybe just apologise, withdraw some of your above accusations and move on? Be a man, we know Slugant and Bob can not, but i know your better than that....
No i just emailed them and they helped with what they could, restored some figures, no litigation required, but thanks for your baiting without merit.
Heres the other guy who constantly pokes without thinking.
Do you want to withdraw this?
You usually just disappear for months when caught out....
Donjohnnie said in his post 'he had no idea why i would triumphantly declare im right'. Really????? I quoted a plethora of derogatory comments about me and i was able to prove them as untrue, but you have no idea why i would be happy that i was able to provide proof to defend my character? Really? Really?????? This is the type of person we are dealing with in this 4.
