Is this a joke?

"Cliff Josephy aka "Johnny Bax" has just won the $1500 Seven Card Stud Event. He takes home $192,150.... He also confirms rumors that before tonight he had never played a hand of Stud in his life, and that Scott Fischman and crew gave him a five minute lesson before the start of this tournament. "

Yeah, it pretty much is.

Yep, already proven a lie. However, when I win the WSOP, I will admit to never have played a hand of poker before in my life just before buying-in. It will make for a great story.

not a lie, someone else played on his account

You should make it more extreme. Say you thought you were attending a bridge tournament and decided to play poker since you made the trip. Claim you kept one of those cards next to you which had the hand rankings.

I did not win the Pokerstars tourney. I was neck and neck w/Luckysucker(Tuna
Lund) for the weekly TLB lead and had plans to go into NYC and eat at my
favorite restaurant, The Palm, on the saturday night of the tourney. I had
someone play for me. He won the Stud Tourney, and also took 2nd in the 100
Rebuy. Luckysucker, however, still won for the week.

T.J. cloutier has stated before the first stud tournament he ever played he won or finished very high. I think he said he won it.

Boy, if this is true, isn't this some kind of account manipulation or something that PS would frown upon? I ain;t sayung it never happens, but to admit it in public forum? I'd be pissed if I were Luckysucker if I had lost then found this out. Then again, if luckysucker HAD lost, he may not have told the story.

Either way, I STILL call shenanigans on JohnnyBax.

I GOTTA GET ME A BROOM!
