After more than 3 years of accusations Ali Imsirovic has finally admitted cheating. However, he still only tells half the truth in a dubious video statement causing a stir and disbelief throughout the poker world.
Ali Imsirovic has uploaded a 28-minute video to YouTube admittinig cheating in high stakes poker games online and you can watch it below.
The Bosnian-American came cleaning about multi-accounting but still RTA use claiming that it is nearly impossible to have accurate sims on hand for most spots in tournament poker due to constant fluctuation of stack sizes.

Very balanced of Ali to end his video threatening players he has dirt on even after he completely came clean and has nothing left to hide.

Ali Imsirovic kicked off his statement by admitting that during the early months of 2020 he was multi-accounting on GGPoker in high stakes tournaments.
This was during the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic and Imsirovic says that the games were insanely good.
After four to five months, he said that he felt bad about his behaviour and stopped playing on anonymous accounts but added that these games were still shady with card sharing going on and players working as teams.
Even so, Imsirovic offers no excuses for what he did.
GGPoker Bans 82 Players for RTA Use
In August 2020, Ali Imsirovic’s time at GGPoker came to an end when he was one of 82 players who were banned for RTA use during play.
He claims that in his case this constituted nothing more than having some Monkersolver sims open which “everyone” else does in one form or another.
The ban cost Imsirovic the $320,000 that he had in his account.
In 2022, the situation blew up massively as he and Jake Schindler were outed as alleged cheaters. Their reputations were sullied beyond repair with Imsirovic even being accused to peeking at the hole cards of Paul Phua at the Triton Super High Roller Cyprus.
This is highly unethical and Imsirovic denies that he ever did this during play.
As for allegations of ghosting and supplying RTA to his horses, Imsirovic also denies this saying that he let all of his horses go due to the controversy surrounding him following the scandal becoming public.
The reaction of the poker community to this video statement was less than sympathetic. This is hardly surprising given how much emotion we have seen over the public damage to the game.
Recently, Daniel Negreanu publicly claimed that Ali Imsirovic was still cheating and even boasting about it to his friends.
We expect more stories to be shared on social media over the coming days. This is far from over, sincere apology or not.
