The cheating accusations need to be a lot less dramatic. Removing cheaters from competitive play isn’t a public activity. Magnus throwing the chess equivalent of a tantrum in public, and a woman being bullied into undoing a lucky win aren’t going to solve anything.
Unless you catch someone red handed go through channels. Unless of course the object is to create a bunch of hype and engagement… then I suppose accuse more people of cheating without evidence in the noisiest way possible.
- mod 4y agoKnowing about a cheater and not telling other poker players about it is a really good way to destroy your reputation in the poker world. Poker players, in the almost 20 years I've been playing, have a pretty standard policy of outing guys who cheat, steal, angle, and owe. Particularly in the high stakes world. The cheating accusations did not originate with the players in the game, anyway. Garrett maybe told a story with his eyeballs--he's maybe uniquely qualified to do that. But his first mention of "cheating" was after it had already blown up, trust me. It was on a livestream, it wasn't a subtle event, and people love controversy.
