In the ensuing Tweet, Cates linked a <strong>Google Document<\/strong> (see the tweet) explaining the alleged cheating that took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get some context, <strong>Bill Perkins<\/strong>, another poker player, first sounded the alarm of potential cheating afoot when he discretely put the information out there, arguing that he was cheated out of winnings by a \u201cghost player.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bilzerian explained in what is now a deleted tweet that Cates played under a smurf account, and specifically <strong>Sina Taleb\u2019s<\/strong>. Smurf accounts are used by players of much higher skill level who then join low-skilled games to gain an unfair advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In responding to those statements, Cates conceded that he had used Sina\u2019s account, but noted that many other professional players were using other accounts, too. He also explained that the aforementioned account\u2019s surname was not Taleb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My defense for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanBilzerian?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DanBilzerian<\/a> &#39;s accusations <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EdD3yTsout\">https:\/\/t.co\/EdD3yTsout<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Daniel Cates (@junglemandan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/junglemandan\/status\/1265679991292997635?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 27, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cates explained that he played only a handful of hands against Bill Perkins, and the game itself was filled with anonymous professionals. He further explained that the game in question was of particularly high-level which should have been a dead giveaway to the fact that there was a lot of smurfing around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perkins did throw heavy accusations to begin with. He argued that the intensity and severity of the issue was not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinepokeramerica.com\/news\/verstandig-says-postle-lied-about-representing-himself\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unlike Mike Postle\u2019s saga<\/a> and that it would indeed make the former scandal look like a \u201cchurch service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cates-documented-story-of-coloring-around-the-lines\">Cates Documented Story of Coloring Around the Lines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Cates providing no names and evidence that other professionals were playing in the game in question, he finally issued an apology. He argued that he was an individual who held himself to high ethical standards and as such he would try to do better in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Cates\u2019 past may be against him. He was previously linked to another cheating scandal back in 2011 when he was training <strong>Jose \u201cGirah\u201d Macedo<\/strong> and the player notched up a string of high stakes wins. Hailed as a prodigy within the community, Macedo\u2019s credibility was quickly put into question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At one point it transpired that Macedo had convinced many players to play one Sauron1989, touted as an ambitious and arrogant amateur who would be an easy prey. Yet, with Sauron relaying the hole cards to his friends, it turned out that anyone who had trusted Macedo was indeed the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eyes also turned on Cates who admitted that he had been playing under multiple account names, including Macedo and that of another high-stake player, <strong>Haseeb Qureshi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"no-big-deal-says-nick-schulman\">No Big Deal, Says Nick Schulman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nick Schulman<\/strong>, another fellow player, said that the severity of the \u201ccrime\u201d ascribed to Cates in the latest scandal far exceeded the actual crime. Schulman had this to add in a Tweet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Because I just think this whole thing is funny.

Some of the biggest names in poker have also been caught \u201ccheating\u201d in a similar setting, including Justin Bonomo (who used multiple accounts) and Josh \u201cJJProdigy\u201d Field.
