High-stakes legend Ali Imsirovic accused of repeat cheating by Alex Foxen?
High-stakes legend Ali Imsirovic accused of repeat cheating by Alex Foxen? During the PokerGO Super High Roller Bowl, poker pro Alex Foxen sparked a heated debate by accusing young Bosnian-American poker player Ali Imsirovic of cheating in the PokerGO Tour final table Main Event, according to the WSOP Team.
In his explosive post that went viral within minutes, Alex Foxen shocked many with his remarks about his poker player.
It is also claimed that he was blacklisted by GGPoker for using RTA and other violations.
Alex Foxen: ” Poker blacklisting can't come fast enough. Ali Imsirovic was blacklisted by GG for multiple accounts and RTA. I've seen him transfer chips to accomplices countless times, and going into the late stages of an online MTT, those known to be There were many suspicious actions by his accomplices during the game . “
Alex Foxen and Ali Imsirovic are both high-stakes players with career 8-figure payouts, and the turmoil caused by this tweet is predictable. The incident quickly detonated the poker world.
More dramatic, though, is that Alex Foxen himself has been accused of pokering with his wife in the past. Even Doug Polk named them both in a podcast video devoted to gang poker.
Back to the topic, in a series of subsequent tweets, Alex Foxen also said that Ali Imsirovic's cheating has long been known in the high roller circle, but because there is not much concrete evidence, everyone is silent, but After watching this hand live on the European Super High Roller (SHRB), the evidence is now overwhelming.
Alex Foxen: “ Ali Imsirovic opens with A♥9♣ in the cutoff position, and then obviously looks down at the puff boss (A 5♣) who is checking his cards. The actual shot is clearer than this screenshot. Paul Phua Fold, Addamo defends the big blind. Ali Imsirovic c-bets and raises on the 6♦4♦2♦ flop, 3-bets and wins the hand .”
Alex Foxen claimed that Ali Imsirovic visibly looked at the Puff boss after the cutoff open and knew at this point that he folded A ♦ 5♣. When the flop came 6 ♦ 4 ♦ 2 ♦ , Ali Imsirovic c-bet and raised. There was no problem at this point, nor was Michael Addamo protecting a flop raise from his big blind. But Ali Imsirovic's next raise made him sure there must be something wrong with the former.
According to the GTO solver, you should only 3- bet all-in for value when facing a flop raise and as a bluff when holding diamonds. This is something that all high stakes players will clearly understand.
But Ali Imsirovic chose to deviate from the correct solution and made a tiny 3- bet bluff, which according to Alex Foxen could only be done knowing that A ♦ and 5 were out.
Alex Foxen also pointed out that Ali Imsirovic showed up wearing sunglasses the day after that hand!
Alex Foxen: “The icing on the cake was the second day, when I saw Ali Imsirovic for the first time in my life wearing sunglasses. He must have heard about the controversy about that hand .”
Alex Foxen concluded: ” For the most part, the high stakes poker world is very respectable and I consider myself lucky to be on the stage with these people. This kind of shameful cheating should not be tolerated, it should be more exposure. ”
Despite what Alex Foxen said with certainty. However, for Ali Imsirovic's supposedly anomalous behavior on that hand, perhaps for elite players at the high stakes tables, it's easy to see the subtleties and understand what's going on.
But for most regular players, their comments say it's not enough evidence, and even if Ali Imsirovic actually saw something, it's not cheating. Because it is the player's responsibility to protect the hole cards, unless the Puff boss is playing poker with him.
Alex Foxen's ” can't reveal that part of the evidence, but it's 100% true ” was also less convincing when asked if there was any evidence about the allegations of cheating on GGPoker, or at least rule breaking. .
Ali Imsirovic has yet to receive a response to any of the allegations, and GGPoker has not commented on Ali Imsirovic's ban.
