Serious question to Garrett. When was the last time you gotten any pussy?
I think this will pretty much answer that question.Quote:

$100 best two out of three who wants it?
Garret has got us all in a tizzy. We've turned into a giant heads up for rolls forum.
i'll play someone heads up nlh for $50 in a few min if anyone is interested. Willie I'll play you only if it's 3 out of 5 and you spot me a game...
Just a lurker. Where is the thread discussing the Garrett scam thing?
why do you ask?Quote:

Just a massive overreaction by this community to someone you guys don't really care for. Daredevil kept trying to argue that the amount of money is irrelevant as is the fact that people don't like him on this forum. They are both so relevant. Guys been a long time poster on this forum and THIS is the opportunity he chooses to finally pull a scam? Lol cmon guys.
Also Garrett stop being an idiot and lying.
Shut up Garrett.Quote:

Even for someone poor, $50 isn't going to buy very much, unless they live in a third world country.
It's hard for me to believe that garrett was finally springing his long con on this forum so he could basically have a 50-50 shot of either freerolling $50 or getting banned.
Even if you want to say that he thought he would get paid if he won despite the no escrow, he had to know he would have gotten banned if he lost and didn't pay.
If you're going to freeroll and go out in a blaze of glory here, you're going to shoot a bit higher for the reward.
Garrett wasn't scamming, he's just fucking retarded. Why is this so hard to see?Quote:

Kind of like when you make a bet with someone that you think they won't win, and when they school you, you start spitting out crazy talk until everyone gives up and then you say something like "it's over and done with, they've moved on why haven't you?". Again, this isn't a case of if he scammed or not, he did. It was a freeroll... just ask searless. This is a case of a shady guy, with a shady past, who continues to do shady things.Quote:

I'm so 2000 and late when a druff nigga pisses himself.
#fergalicious
im just saying, this site appears to move the goal posts for 'scammer' in ways that make me really uncomfortable.
like if marty had sex with winnie because he was real into winnie and winnie wanted it, hes a dogfucker.
if marty had sex with winnie because he was drunk and lonely, hes still a dogfucker.
so this whole 'garret isnt a scammer because hes a simpleton' tangent really doesnt fly for me.
There is so much fuzzy thinking in this thread I hardly know where to begin...
1) Garrett wouldn't risk getting banned from PFA because he posts here a lot and has been around a while:
Except he's already done this on other forums. I don't know how much he posted on the other forums, or how long he was around, but he got banned from them for just this kind of shady shit. So he's no stranger to being a poster and then 86'd. There are plenty of other poker forums if he got kicked off this one. Some where they might not even know his backstory and troll him relentlessly...
2) It was only 50.00, if this was an attempt to roll, it would've been more, like thousands of dollars:
Is there anyone on this site that would of played garrett for thousands of dollars? I mean really, maybe he could of got the amount up to 100 (or at least 63) but that's about it.
3) He's just dumb, not shady. But then he's also smart, because he's smart enough to know he wouldn't get the money:
First off great contrary thinking here... I'm not in the business of mind policing people, and I can't read thoughts. I honestly don't care what anyone thinks when doing anything. What you think is your business. What you do and say however, are up for scrutiny. He said the money was escrowed, it wasn't. He said he had backers, he didn't. He entered into a match on condition on escrow, when the money hadn't been escrowed. Then after the match, HE ASKED FOR THE MONEY.
4) There was no victim, so there was no scam:
So because someone failed at pulling something off he wasn't scamming? I guess every guy who said no to PSUmike at the airport proves that he's not a scammer. Can you believe they charge people for attempted murder? I mean where's the victim!
Look, in the end, I can't say for sure whether or not garrett would of payed if he lost, no one can. I have never claimed to know what he would have done. All I can say is that he lied about posting money for a match, then lied about why, then played the match under false pretenses. One would almost say, fraudulent pretenses, which, related to a game of poker. So he committed a poker fraud, on site called poker FUCKING fraud alert. That's my point, I've made it, Druff made his ruling, and that's the last I'll ever say on the subject.

I didn't say garrett needed to play for thousands of dollars. But if this were an attempted freeroll, you would think he would have done something for at least $200. You know... a sum of money which is more substantial than $50, but not so high to where everyone would immediately panic and throw up a red flag. The upside is just way too low here, even for garrett.Quote:

I'll send all the proof to Druff about my withdrawal problems, and surely he will see I'm telling the truth and trust that I was going to pay even after I lost."
<beats adamantium in the match>
"YES! I am fucking world class like I thought! Well, now I finally have the money, so I'll ship it to Druff as a formality so he can pay me. In fact, I'll ship a little bit more than $50 to prove I am not low on money. Ummm.. $63, yeah that will work."

IM SO FUCKING BLAZED, OMG.. IM GOING TO BEAT THIS CLOWN SO IT DOESNT MATTER IF I SHIP OR NOT, LETS FUCKING ROLL. "YEAH I SHIPPED, I GOT BACKERS, WHATEVER LETS PLAY."
and that's scamming.

I don't see how that part is relevant.Quote:

adamantium did his part -- he sent the $50 to me on time.
The burden is not on him to determine the veracity of garrett's claims of also escrowing.
After he sent his money, he had a right to play based upon garrett's statement and then invalidate the results if he lost.
Is that a freeroll? Yes, it is. But it's not his fault, because the freeroll was created by garrett lying.

We actually agree on most of this, gimme my rep back and i'd green ya one!
But, I never said it's adamantium's fault.
The point is that there were restrictions in place to prevent this from happening and had it not been for your scumbag co-host, the match never goes off.
what is an escrow if not verified?
They agreed to play W/OUT proof of escrow (against pfa rules that bets must be escrowed, but not a scam)
Garrett's thinking was more like, 'i want to play these chumps and if i explain to Druff that the money's on its way that'll be good enough as long as i pay if i lose'
The difference is that Edog and Chino were borrowing large sums of money to where it would be difficult or impossible to pay back, barring some huge poker scores.Quote:

Garrett looked like he was legitimately withdrawing the $50 to pay for this, but got delayed and chose to lie about the delay instead of just postponing the match. I can't be sure of this, but that's sure as hell what looks likely from my perspective.
Garrett is also exactly the sort of person to make excuses for losing or feign misunderstanding, like he did in the heads up tournament. Without escrow, there's a good chance he never honors the bet. The fact that he sent the money after winning signifies nothing, especially since he ended up asking for his winnings.Quote:

Maybe withdraw 50 dollars from the vast portfolio of the worker's Party and stick a fork in this thread.
Okay let's say it wasn't a scam (it was, but let's say). He more or less freerolled the guy by lying. Regardless of what his final intention was, he lied. For a site that is called "poker fraud alert", the owner seems to think certain things are "reasonable" and not a scam. A perfect point is what Jsearles did to vegas (who fyi has been a long standing member of this community, wayyy before Jsearles and has done more good than Jsearles can ever do). He scammed vegas, at best he freerolled him, but no it was a scam. You let him post here, but even you admit it was a freeroll. I dont think you should ban Garrett anymore because than we'd all lose our fun, HOWEVER you should label him as a scammer/freeroller like we did in the old days on NWP/DD. He should not get away with this, and you making an argument that he is retarded and couldn't understand what he was doing is wrong, doesn't nullify the fact of what he did. He lied, many people do, but he lied about money/bet on your site that is called "poker fraud alert". Not labeling him in one way or another takes away from the spirit of what this site is for and makes you look like a hypocrite Todd.
Would anyone be in the "Garrett isn't batshit crazy" camp? Doubt it. Therefore not guilty by reason of insanity seems appropriate
Also the fact that so many grown ass men have spent so much time arguing over $50 is hilarious
I'd say give Garrett the liar, scumbag, retard title but the titles here don't mean shit. Hell mine says "can't post"
