Hasib Kursehi's Poker Controversy: Lies, Accusations, and Admissions


Hasib Kursehi, a prominent poker player, has been at the center of a controversy involving lies, accusations, and admissions related to his involvement with José Macedo. Kursehi was accused of lying about his involvement with Macedo, with several users on the 2+2 forum pointing out inconsistencies in his statements. Kursehi claimed that he never wrote on 2+2 under the account girah, but was later proven wrong by moderators who confirmed that he had indeed written under that account.

Kursehi also admitted to being a consultant and agent for José Macedo, a revelation that came after users on the 2+2 forum presented evidence of his involvement. Additionally, Kursehi was accused of writing an apology post for Macedo, which he denied. However, a comparative analysis of his writing style with that of Macedo's suggested that Kursehi was indeed involved in writing the apology.

In a recent interview with BLUFF Magazine, Kursehi made several admissions that further complicated his situation. He admitted to owning the account samchauhan on the Merge network, which was used to transfer $100,000 to Macedo's account. This admission, along with the previous accusations and lies, has cast a shadow over Kursehi's reputation in the poker community.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
