Spilling the Beans: Imsirovic's Confessions and Denials
Online Poker Competitor Ali Imsirovic Confesses to Utilizing Multiple Accounts in Tournaments
The poker world has been buzzing following Ali Imsirovic's admission of cheating in high-stakes poker games, but he has also vehemently denied some accusations. In a YouTube video, Imsirovic admitted to multi-tabling in online tournaments during the COVID-19 lockdowns, stating it was his response to what he perceived as rampant cheating on GGPoker.
However, he stopped the practice due to feelings of guilt. The poker pro was one of the many accounts suspended from GGPoker in the fall of 2020 for multi-accounting and using real-time assistance (RTA) programs. Some accounts, though not Imsirovic's, have since been reinstated, with only pre-flop charts being used.
Playing it Clean, Sort of
Regarding other allegations, Imsirovic denied some of the cheating claims. One notable controversy surfaced last spring when Alex Foxen accused him of peeking at Paul Phua's hole cards during a Triton Poker event. Imsirovic vehemently denied the accusation, claiming he often pays attention to other players' faces and cards to get reads and stay focused on the action.
He bluntly called the accusation of running an online poker cheating ring "ridiculous" and asserted he never ghosted players he backed in tournaments, a practice involving instructing another person to play while a different individual makes decisions. Imsirovic declared he no longer engages in online poker activities, seeking to put the cheating allegations behind him.
The Accusers and the Accused
Imsirovic pointed fingers at his accusers without naming them, suggesting that those who have "skeletons in their closets" should refrain from casting aspersions. This implies that he is aware of other individuals suspected of cheating, yet they continue to cast blame on him.
Imsirovic's expulsion during a RunGood Poker Series event in Florida while leading the chip count, without a clear explanation for the decision, only adds fuel to the ongoing controversy surrounding the poker pro. Although no concrete evidence directly ties him to operating a cheating ring or ghosting players, the broader cheating allegations persist, generating much discussion in poker circles. His bans from GGPoker and PokerGO Tour events, coupled with industry skepticism, highlight the gravity of the accusations against him.
