Haxton and Bonomo, cheats?

prahlahd-friedman-cheating-accusations

This is at least says Prahlad Friedman on his Twitter. According to Friedman, the two players would be associated to exchange their account. Friedman based his accusations on the drastic change in the style of play of Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo. According to Friedman, Bonomo is a player on which Friedman has an important edge and against which he multiplied the winning sessions.

From one day to the next day, Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo would be changed in a much tougher opponent with a style that is reminiscent of Isaac "luvtheWNBA" Haxton, an excellent player of cash games heads up.

Remember that due to "lend" his account to another player is an illegal practice on all poker sites, for obvious reasons. Imagine one of the best players in heads-up on PokerStars, Isuldur, who would play on the account of Scout315, one for worst players on the highstakes tables. First, it would have much more action on the Scout315 account as on his own and secondly, all reads that his opponents would have on him would be null and void. Opponents would be some time before you understand why, all of a sudden, Scout315 would accumulate the buy-in on their backs.

On Twitter by Friedman, one could read:

"Playing Zeejustin was easy at first on fulltilt then there was a dramatic style change and he beat me for a lot." That was Haxton beating me. I give credit to Haxton for being a great player, but I don't want to play him head up. He knows this. "Yet he finds ways to play me". Translation: "initially, Zeejustin was an easy to play at Full Tilt opponent and subsequently, drastically, his style changed and he started beating me firmly. It was Haxton who beat me then. Haxton is an excellent player and I give him the credit that deserves it, but I do not want to play it heads up. And he knows it. Now, he has found a way to play me".

Wholesale: "Bonomo was very easy to bluff and I took him lots of money. The next day, it was impossible to bluff and he beat me widely. »

Bonomo has improved his game greatly in a short time or he lent his account to Haxton?
The case is becoming big on the Twoplustwo forums and, obviously, Blanchard defends himself: "Isaac Haxton has never played on one of my accounts and I've never played on one of their own. I did things I'm not proud when I was 19 years old, but I was given a second chance I took seriously. 5 years I didn't do anything in poker that was contrary to ethics. »

Blanchard also launches a challenge to Friedman; playing 10,000 hands or more on 3 heads up tables or more $ 25 / $ 50 and $ 50 / $ 100 or to apologize publicly.
