Poker Buzz -- Brian Hastings Wins $4.2M From Isildur1

[MacBubbles]

Wonder how that econ final went???

[MacBubbles]

Great interview! And, awesome question a 5:52!

[MrJacked86]

hastings went against full tilit rules,,,but isildur should of had more sense and not gambled is whole roll,,,with gambling there always a risk of losing and swings can be ridiculos at plo

[hkistink]

bitch

[jasonworsley]

They were doing more than just studying his hand history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! full tilt is shut down they cant return any players funds on there.And yes the poker world thought he was cheating and so did full tilt.They stripped Brian townsend of his pro title at full tilt.So if they did nothing wrong...the why suspened his pro privalliges.

[lg123xyz]

Everyone knows Full Tilt is rigged.

[drewdonham]

he turned one night of playing heads up into a retirement. wow

[WhiteRabbitm8te]

is isildur1 not playing any more now?

[sspitcher1513]

Studying poker hands and talking poker with your buddies is not cheating...that's just asinine that FullTilt calls that cheating

[MrBluebulldog77]

Why would these scam sites open up investigations when they r criminals themselves? Its only a matter of time b4 these criminal pokersites r shown 4 what they r. Jokerstars and Full Filth r trying 2 steal all they can while they can.

[cheapshankybot]

[b1nside]

everyone is saying he is a cheater... if everyone is saying that, it must be true and JUSTICE should investigate him as Full Tilt should do the same.

SHAME on CHEATERS!

[shane31lv]

He cheated plain and simple. It's a shame because isildur is an amazingly talented player but he had no bankroll management whatsoever. Same with dwan, he also is an amazing talent with no bankroll management or discipline. It's why they both ended up bust and are now humping the poker contracts which durr only did because he went broke.

[Riseagainst05]

Fuck you, Hastings. Fuck you.

[sblackNFTU]

pokerstrategycom/uFBWLP free 50 bucks to start on fulltilt only id required by the site!

[dh144498]

maybe its not cheating, but gathering all info on a player's hand history is shameful.

[lowtalkerr]

Discussing hands and players is NORMAL! If you're part of 2+2 or some other online poker community you'd know that. Isildur went on monkey tilt and shoulve stopped playing, but he didn't and he went broke. Hastings is a great PLO player and doesn't deserve the hate he gets. 

[goofydog07]

the reason hes a cock is that he wasnt admitting to knowing so much about isildur

[BGBOIBICH]

Brian Hastings is a fukkking cheater,,,

[ochoxxcincoxx]

i swear DURRRR ANTONIUS AND HASTINGS were playing together againt this guy on the same account....THAT IS HOW HE IS A CHEATER

[badboistilezy]

4:59 shes thinking "absolutely you cheating fker"

[badboistilezy]

Isildur1 has admitted he is not as good at PLO as he is NLHE, but this brian hastings C*nt has clearly cheated. Funny how he can win off Ivey, Antonious and Dwan but not off this moron oh yeah thats right its coz he got cheated, what a disgrace

[badboistilezy]

This was posted on another vid i saw ... in simple terms, they collectively gathered over 50,000 hands of information on the player, input the information into a computer which generates a 'robot' player, remembering how he plays in all these situations, for use on similar situations, and took him for over $5.6m.

[fliptthescript]

this is how superficial people are. They want the young good looking guy to win. This guys destroyed blom thats amazing. Seeing a hand history has nothng to do with destroying someone for 4 million dollars haha. THat was annilation and took away the legend of blom. He basically showed the world blom not that great now all the players destroying blom haha.

[TheCinreds]

this some bullshit! smh well isildur1 is back and about to fuck some shit up!

[budweiser4]

Isildur signed up with Pokerstars !!!

He is back :)

Now full tilt should be pissed for not makking any compensation.

I actually wouldnt call the Hastings/Townsend accident cheating, they just consulted his style of play, which is of course against the rules but i woulnt call it cheating.

But ISILDUR is back, hands down !!!

[NegreanuDan33]

@musdrank4486

Rofl, Hey you wanna have a one on one match my FTP name is buraze7542 =D

And yeah

I found out on the Full Tilt Poker official blog last monday you register a new account on their webpage and use the bonus code AMERICAS but you cant currently have a account currenlty with them.It's a sweet promotional deal. Your 1st deposit get DOUBLED oh and a few other amazing perks. It's only going work for the first couple thousand people that sign up with this

[theCRIMSONtradition]

I'd love to bend that chink over and torque her ass.

[cmichael67]

they cheated isildur

[damien28173]

had to get cheated? He won all his money in NLE, and blasted away in PLO,

Yes, is holdem game is excellent, but they didnt "cheat" they used readily available information, and discussed the strategy behind his play. The way you stake it, is everyone with HM and PT3 are cheaters when it simply isn't so. Thats the way of online poker, if he was so good he could adapt to the changing games. Hes not, he's a degen just like everyone else. In the end, hes just a big fish who donked it off.

[sifffh]

@damien28173

using ptr and hem ain't the same as data-mining.

they clearly cheated him, in general and specifically referreing to full tilts rules.

they allow ptr and the likes, but forbid data-mining.

[damien28173]

@sifffh They are friends, that discuss the game together, and decided to pool their money (and believe me, even if not confirmed they did) and took turns trying to take a shot at this run good fish. Im sure all three were in the same room when they were taking turns playing him.Bloom was just easy to predict after a couple hundred hands. He's a fish, plain and simple, they didn't completely clean him out either, Where did the other 4millish go?

was he cheated out of that half of his bankroll?

[papichulobumber1]

@damien28173

i thought they exchanged handhistories, which is quite different from just owning PT or HEM, That is because you should have to play and take risks to get that info.

[kungknas1]

fucking faggot! isildur is the king, you ruined everything brian with your luck and the cheating

[beauyp]

@gazz12345a does anyone care who you resoect ?? LOL

[fix520]

SO when a pro violates the Terms Of Contract....its ok?

[KnockingUout]

how did he cheat i really wanna know

[fastr1337]

question. which site has a better random card generator. pokerstars or fulltilt?

[Mikey1724]

ok i hear alot of people on isuldur1 side here and i get why people are upset at hastings because he, cole south and brian townsend shared 20k to 30 k previous hands on Isuldur1's games, im all about fair play and everything but honestly i dont see how this is cheating, so pretty much if any pro's watch Ivey's previous play on tv in a wsop thats considered cheating???

[weefeatures]

@Mikey1724 watching a few hundred selected hands on TV that ivey plays doesn't quite compare to 50k hands...

but even if we were able to see 50k hands of Ivey, he'd know it was broadcast, and could adapt his game to that. The big difference here is that Isildur had NO idea his hand histories were shared with another player, and was unable to adapt his game accordingly.

[Exesta]

@Mikey1724 this clearly shows u are a donk (no offence) how can you compare;

1) a tournament with 6000 runners to a cash game

2) 100 hands you have seen ivey play if that, probably mostly on TV

Essentially, Hastings, South and Townsends have colluded, and in a way pooled their data to become a form of data mining to give an unfair advantage, you should have to pay to learn information in poker from your opponent, not share information for free cos ur getting outplayed.

[Mikey1724]

@Exesta

you've never played against me so u wouldnt be able to call me a donk unless you played me so get that straight

and yes them teaming up is gay but still there just sharing hands, its not like they could see his whole cards or anything

[skrivas]

it would be so fun sweat and nice if that guy took all money from fulltilt team HAHAHA !! i guess that was his plan .... :)

[WonderboyST]

It's not cheating, it's just gay. Just like online poker is gay. Live poker is actually poker.

[bamboo]

is it fair for the cardrunners team to talk about his game? i dont think so.....

[ColourboyMarkyboy]

CHEAT!!!!!!!!!

[WheresTheWax]

lol....."Stinger" lollol

[danvin11]

i think isildur1 have learn hes lesson....and did he really think he was going to win against phil ivey and patrik antonius at the same time.

He will never be that good as phil ivey,he is the best pokerplayer in the world...

[jibbers0]

well if this is cheating then using HUDs and other softwares would be as well...isildur's just an idiot for playing HU all day everyday at those stakes.

[andos8888]

@jibbers0 totally agree with you at the end of the day its not like Hastings could see Isildurs cards while they were playing its just all the isildur fan boys who think hes great cause hes a degen and plays for days

[jakeycakeyz]

where does this kid isildur get his money.. theres no 18 or year old kid in sweden having this much money

[FCule]

@jakeycakeyz

hes started from 0 and build up his BR

[iHannibal9216]

@jakeycakeyz well he didnt start from 0. If he is Viktor then he started with 200 and build it to like 1.4m in 3 weeks...if u want ill link you two sites than can help alot!! Viktor's Bio, 1st time he ever gives his life-story and the other one is a timeline that links them together with Martonas

[Xansar]

I'd like to shove a chip up Brian Hastings behind.

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

fuckin cheat

[ColourboyMarkyboy]

If you add a few letters to Brian Hastings name you have a quality anagram.....CHEATING CUNTING WANKING TOSSER FULL TILT SHITTY CUNT STAIN BITCH

[treezX]

how is it cheating to study isildur1's hand history?

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

@treezX because he was sending and discussing it with other people who were going to play isildur1 next

[treezX]

@imnotsickimjustaboy ok since when is it cheating to share strategy how to beat someone lol

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

@treezX since fulltilt wrote these rules ""The use of shared hand histories provides detailed information on opponents a player has little or no personal experience playing against, and is deemed to be an unfair advantage. Violating this policy is subject to the maximum penalties for prohibited software use""

U DICK

[treezX]

@imnotsickimjustaboy you lose so much credibility when you resort to name calling...you are just making things up now...its not cheating to share strategy on how to beat another player

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

@treezX are u a tard when fulltilt make rules and u brake them thats called cheating dipshit. thats y fulltilt took a way his pro status for a month. do some research ur wrong im right get over ur self

[treezX]

@imnotsickimjustaboy i cant even take you seriously anymore...i feel like im dealing with a child in the middle of his temper tantrum lol

[blazer33x]

@treezX because they exchanged there hand history 

[twistedfocus100]

Shame on FT.... Shame on Brian Hastings..... Had to cheat to win... Yet FT lets these guys do it... Fuck FT poker...

[ErsinYildiz]

how come fulltilt dindt compensated Isildur1?

if people cheated on him with multiple acc. etc.

fulltilt....= bs

[GlobalStrike1]

fuck fulltilt cheaters if brain was good he'd win LIVE

[074Jesse]

FTP isnt a shame, BH is a shame, Isildur1 is a shame

[wcwc89]

CHEATER CONFIRMED

[074Jesse]

Isildur1 is a joke.... just a loose gambler

[UndercoverLdn]

@074Jesse

Ja wel iemand die om miljoenen heeft gespeeld en jij met je kanker kop en je grote bek zal alleen maar playmoney of microlimits gespeeld hebben dus doe niet zo kanker stoer

[074Jesse]

@UndercoverLdn jij moet je kankerbek houden. IK NEUK JOU FCKING MOEDER

[evexxxxx]

Just stop playing on tilt... This is not the only time where they made exceptions for "famous players"... If they dont uphold their own terms and conditions in PROVEN violations, I dont even wanna know what they do behind closed doors.

Luckily, there`s always gonna be enough kids who want to be like Ivey and dont care that Full Tilt f**ks them over and over...

[theredlibanese]

"I know u r Super Busy" yeah, like that fat bastard have any friends, or activities to do, except studying. Perhaps busy to eat burgers...Fuck im angry. If isildur WANTED to save alot of money he COULD. But he is not that fking lame, who comes online and play for 2h´s and logg off happy with a win of 200k, like gay hastings. Im sure he knows bankroll-Management. He´s a gamling addict. Thats it. Would be fun to see how much he would have if he logged out after every win. 15M$?

[ErsinYildiz]

how come people say he cheat?

[joeynovak2]

scum

[codrr]

Cheater, hope your feeling like crap.

[Fisherman443]

Brian Hastings is a cheater by definition and Isildur1 is not compensated in any way. What a joke! FullTilt is just a shame!

[madhattery341]

@Fisherman443 why? did he do the whole datamining thing too? i must say I really disagree with that practice

[MrChamp134]

@Fisherman443 Brian hastings is a cheater by definition? so the definition of "Brian Hastings" is cheater? obv doesnt make sense haha.. you really need to learn what actually happened here. Talking about hands isnt really cheating, there are tons of forums online where ppl can post hands to see how they played it. The CR pro's basically just did this with eachother.

[HKcasinoDealer]

Brian Hastings is just a geek tool use by fulltilt to scam people,maybe he got 1% from themoney,because the winings went to scamers from the website behind him.They set up Isildur like FUCKING DOGS !

[lg123xyz]

@Fisherman443 If its cheating does Hastings get to keep his winnings? if its such a serious crime.

[phobiazzzero]

@Fisherman443 why is he a cheater????????

[Rogerio34567]

Isildur is back anyway. He started playing again end of February. I think he might be broke again because Durr busted him 970K in about 1 and a half hour

[briano8713]

Is sharing information about individual hands against ftp rules? Or is it a scale matter, combining entire databases?

[Rickwright0001]

No, Online poker is regulated by the Gaming Commissions that govern them to keep all records to hands, anyone can request hand histories after 6 hours, after the session has ended, and that works for all tournaments as well, not sure if you're cheated? thats why they have it.

[ColourboyMarkyboy]

CHEAT!

[zaksovas]

I'll take isuldur1 anytime, anywhere 0.01/0.02 blinds 6 tables!!!! :)))

[Partizan1379]

@Riquelme1011

greenstein in monaco on pokertube, take a look what a guy with knowledge has to say. antonius on isildur: 2000$, or something like that (dont remember exactly),

is enough for him to make a million in a year.

ur comment is like: Hillary Clinton to Michael Jordan what a bad fadeaway, u should pass to scottie, MJ u have to learn to hift gears. lol joker

[bamboo]

@Riquelme1011 Phil Hellmuth? Is that you?

[GPunktmod]

CardPlayer Youtube channel sucks, u have no future

[IMakeBoringVideos]

iagree with the comment earlier. data mining isnt illegal. everybody does it (not me personally) its just a fact of online poker...

[oreilg1]

how can he give that interview after cheating? what a wanker just given online poker a very bad name

[justfold1]

cheaterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrr

[Freerange99]

hastings used data mining, thats why I hate online poker. hastings new every hand isildur1 had,

[WaspSnG]

Data mining, what's that all about?

Does that just mean that you spit threw hand histories to better-know your opponent?

[raymog12]

faget did cheat and admitted it, i bet had that been a black 20 year old admitted to cheating there woulda been charges etc. but no its just some bitchmade punk 3 heads had to beat the swede MAD RESPECT ISILDUR1

[res813]

@Everyone

Sharing hand historys is not cheating. You are allowed to discuss strategy with friends.

[MachidaLyoto]

"Stinger" Hastings. lol. How apt.

His ring would be stinging from all the pipe he takes off Townsend and Cole South.

[brown5md]

hastings is a fucking faggot and veryone knows it. isuldur will never be back 2 full tilt and I dont fucking blame him letting people cheat like this and no punishment besides a month lo0ng suspension he should be repayed by this little prick who is no doubt not studying for his finals what a load of shit. I hate that whole fag squad. townsend hastings cole all fucking retards that are fucking gay as hell they get no pussy I no them well and thay would do this and then circle jerk.

[peterpetrelli45]

Hastings should go and fuck himself

[tayson89]

damn you gotta wonder these pros put their skills together to bring isildur1 down... i have a lot of respect for isildur1 playing patrick ivey dwan at the same time..... hasting played him gay poker by learning his style from his opponent townsend... poor isildur1 he had no1 to help him

[spasko12345]

isldur1 sucks tom dwan forever

[DanielJustinLeBlanc]

yeah they cheated. there also a bunch of faggots.

townsend, hastings, benefield all these fucking cardrunners faggots are gay 2gether.

[Exesta]

yeah they cheated putting all hand histories together, to found out his style and what spots he blufs and bets nuts etc

[remeark101]

The retards defending these cheats have no idea what they actually did. When people talk about how these three cheats "shared" hand histories, they are not saying they sat around the dinner table or discussed them on the phone.

What they did was COMBINE tens of thousands of hands into a computerized database so the program could analyze the data history instantly.

Brian Townsend admitted this almost immediately after Brian Hastings' big "win", and Townsend was suspended for a month from FTP.

[velociper]

Isildur will take the matter to court.

Do someone know in what country the court will take place?

[IveyJnr]

FUck Isildur he has all hand histories with all players he played and probably scouted this game out for ages as well as all other footage of durrrr ivey etc from all videos before playing this game. Sharing hand histories just lets them analyse isildurs play and gives them a competivive edge it shud count as cheating. They still sat down and played to win this money. and anyway isi donked off so much money by calling with bad hands OOP and just check-shovinfg flops in PLO with gut-shots ...

[Exesta]

no he didnt, he doesnt use forums, read books or any poker sites,

[ml497]

Cheating heater donk.

[jclwhite]

Is sharing hand histories cheating, or just good preparation? Sure it can help, but you still have to actually PLAY the poker and win the money. Thats like saying that a goalkeeper cheats when he saves a penalty having studied the strikers shooting patterns beforehand.

Tthe truth is this: all players at this level osf stakes are very good at poker. Luck goes to and fro. If you bet millions you can win or lose millions. Isildur1 won, then lost. Thats how it goes.

[Exesta]

sharing hand history is cheating, data mining is pathetic, at the stakes i play ive got my notes, stats and reads from paying for the information, not cheating sharing with other players.

[IPAWNMYQUEENS]

yeah they really should enforce something against that..

[Vpopov81]

who the hell woould play for millions of dollars without reviewing hand histories and studying guys playing style.

[paviuus]

They shared hand histories you dumb fuck. And that is against  the full tilt's rules, no matter what you think.

I'm not saying that Isildur is the best player around, 3 months is not enough to tell, but I do think it's sad that he left the scene because of these cheating faggots.

[m4rkyboy]

the sharing of hand histories is against fulltilt terms and conditions.THEY broke the rules.THEY cheated that boy out of money

[westlv]

brian townsend, brian hastings and cole south are all fucking cheats

fuck them

[iHannibal9216]

just watch everyone, just watch. Isildur will make a return and full tilt will regret letting him go...come on isil, make a come back...we miss you man

[Vpopov81]

when a boxer is about to fight another boxer if hes smart he will watch footage of how the player fights his weaknesses etc. football players also. Im surprised you bozos think thats cheating.

[tranquility321]

You inept cock, what they did was against the rules of the site. Isildur was beating all the games, these 3 cheating cunts collaborated because they had or never will have half the skill he has. Comparing boxing and football to poker is bollox, especially on-line poker. It would be impossible for this fat cunt to pull the stunt he did in a live game. The cheats couldn't keep their mouths shut, says something for isildur and his game that he had to get cheated to go busto. You're a fucktard too.

[damien28173]

@tranquility321 This is like calling the corporation a group of cheaters cause they got together to beat the producer in the game.

[tranquility321]

@damien28173 Haven't a clue what you're on about.

[remeark101]

Obese cheating fuck. Hopefully for his sake he takes some of the money he stole and joins Weight Watchers.

How can a person live with themselves after blatantly cheating someone out of millions?

[stants11]

biran hasting u fat fucking cheat.

[tommy444777]

fuck them i hope isildur stays away from full tilt as its full of cheating cunts

[iHannibal9216]

@tommy444777 i agree. i really want to see his return and make a distruction in the poker world....were ever your at man, come out...we miss you

[pokerace420]

yea when you study thousands of hands you would never have knowledge of and analyze how someone plays every single hand you will beat them fukin cheat to win you fukin cardrunner snakes!!!

[pokerace420]

lmao yea they cheated isuldur1 they admitted it and yea brian townsend

cheating again? first multi accounting and now sharing hand history's? when is he gettin banned for life from poker?

[harrington78]

check out 2+2 forum , theres a big uproar about this win being a bit dodgy cos south townsend and hastings disected hand historys between them and then fleeced isildur for millions !!

[hatuuuma]

doesnt matter if it says 4.2 cos brian won most of it. 3.2 millionnnnnnnnnnn baby! hahahaha finally ppl realising isildur1 is such a luckbox

[vladzhuk]

wrong TITLE!!!!

"The CardRunners Crew Wins 4.2mil From Isildur1"
