Update: everything I make from this post on close out that isn’t flagged will be donated to Tuck and SPL
Been monitoring what @haejin has been doing and I noticed this:
I am not a big Poker player, but I am familiar with Tuck and he is a really good guy. His community loves him, and he has a great Poker League community he pays out of his pocket.
@haejin isn't a community builder, he is a community executioner. Is this the Steemit you want to be a part of? While everyone has their head in the sand, he will pull out millions from the Steemit community and attacking anyone who stands his way.
Where do you stand?

Spl is one of the greatest communities around and it has something most communities don't which is a band of really true friends who know each other and play some nice poker for FREE, yes I'll say it again, FREE...this community is supported by all of its members who with their votes maintain afloat the tourneys' prizes. I live in a third world country and the little success I have in steemit is thanks mostly to spl, a first place prize tourney (daily) which is currently at 100$ is 100 months of work in my country, and I'm not the only one, there are a lot of people who can make some nice income by showing their skills playing poker and now they can, even affect their families, this issue has to bloody end!
The Steem Poker League is about to reach 600 members and I have yet to encounter a stronger community of people using and promoting the blockchain. For someone to single-handedly decide to negate the ability of almost 600 people to come together and enjoy free poker with prizes funded by payouts on @Tuck-Fheman's posts on steemit is a travesty.
@haejin: Please, consider the implications of your actions and, on behalf of the @spl, we beg you to bury the hatchet and cease ruining our good time.
!!!
There's an old saying: don't poke the tiger.
Oh no how did this happen to Tuck-fheman and Spl he was my official yoda he thought me everything about Steem blockchain and he made me who I am. I couldn't thank enough to him for educating me and making me a pro. I'm quite sad these kind of stuff happening to the active communities that rely on the post rewards in order to continue to distribute rewards to the others.
This is really sad I've never participated in the poker freerolls. But he is doing a lot for the community with his poker league . Investing in whole earned Steem, etc and his own time. Sigh...
Thank you for bringing this to my attention... this is not good. People should be able to find their niche and enjoy it here... not have it downvoted out of existence.
oh this is horrible we should take care of other and support each other
stay together and grow together
Message to @haejin. Grow up! There is no need for any war. Just be part of steemit community. Steemit is not about attacking each other, it’s about communicating between each other.
resteemed! Hope that prick will start thinking what he's doing. He has such negative influence on Steemit.
I'm tired of this whale flag wars. Users accounts should not be considered collateral damage.
That's truly unfortunate to see someone with a great following abusing the platform as I mentioned earlier in a comment. There are so many people here who actually put in the hours and effort to generate some sort of potential reward who are often overlooked and ignored.
He is obviously abusing his position and I'm not sure why anyone would consider this ethical behavior. I also think that this may reflect poorly on the platform itself.
I'm with Nexusvortex777 as almost always :)
Thanks, @pittsburghholdr. I wanted to give the Steemit Poker a try but I don't know if that's even feasible at the moment because of this fellow Steemian's actions. I love this platform but the unethical, greedy behavior is making it worse on those of us who actually put a lot of time, effort and energy on here to receive the valued reward we deserve.
You should definitely give it a go! Free to play and lots of good people

I had made an analisys of haejin that I tried to promote with @buildawhale. It was well received by the few people who follow me and also by other readers. I am so small that I can only observe what is happening, but from what I see, @haejin is not trying to provide his free analisys to the people here, but he is trying to get as much as he can from the reward pool. As I am writing this comment here, he just made over 12 posts in the last 24 hours. This is not care for reward pool and for others at all...
steemit is the best place for earn
Selflessness -_-
Let wait and see :)
Thanks @themarkymark!
thank you for a good inform
all this over 1$? wow...
Muy mal hecho
wow again post about this guy what up here ?no love him not read him post and all is done come on
Dont really know the guy...I just want to steem.
Tuck is a great guy and the community is awesome, people like haejin don't deserve to be in steemit
Very interesting stuff. I'm still quite new so don't understand how all of these things work around steemit so I'm now very curious about this
Really sad to see that a personal fight is trying destroying a community - But I really hope the community will stand up and fight this by supporting the @spl!
A lot of people rely on this community. His posts do not even get close at all to what haejin makes and yet again his wants to throw around money that he clearly doesnt deserve and FUCK STEEM over once again. @haejin you are the death of steem. I hope thats why you came here because that one big project you made will be trash after all of this. What a piece of shit.
SPL IS a great community!!
Darwinian Economics AKA Capitalism without the conservative moral bent except to eliminate the competition for what ever grievance goes against the moral rules we can remember at a particular moment in time to serve our own ends.
this is badi i have naver though there will be another side of this ...
There should be some protection build in for projects like this (Poker) that helps growing Steemit community. Who are developers? Are they aware of what it is going on? Are they going to step in? Whoever has contacts with them, should pass info to them.
I played lucksacks poker few times when i had some extra free time, great community!
Very kind of you Mark on donating the payout to SPL.
How do you plan on fixing this? Or the community as a whole? It is a complicated issue and if Steem and other blockchains are going to revolutionize the world the community must be fine-tuned first. It seems as though there are exploitations and greed run amuck which is to expect when you have such a vast culmination of different people. However, the community must not be discouraged and should instead band together to resolve this issue.
What a sad story. I hope it gets settled soon. @SPL is just awesome and as an active poker player, like it a lot.
If anything bad happens to @spl, at least my daily hours of Steemit would be greatly impacted.
Not to mention the poor publicity coming from this situation... There are many interested to participate on this platform. I know for sure I'm not going to suggest it to my circle if incidents of such rule these sites...
I'm not surprised, simply sad.
I hope my resteem landed on some fertile ground.
FREE THE @SPL!
@spl is a great place to play virtual cards, network and get steem plus information for free. There are a lot of posts and discussions about steemit I have found from following poker players comments. There is great potential for the poker community here to come together and help protect steemit as much as the spl, as one clearly relies on the others existence.
I wish ignorance really was bliss. I'm learning so much about this @haejin conflict. As mentioned in previous posts, I enjoy his stats vids; and, now I'm learning that he might be an unscrupulous player, instead of victim.
As this issue has moved into the new year; I'm reminded that when you start a fight, you might have to wage a battle; and the battle very well might turn into an endless war.
Before long, the landscape is rife with the destruction, as in many war-torn countries. Just as no outsider wants to build in such turmoil, the same goes for those on the sidelines, deciding if they want to join Steemit.
I have little doubt that it will become a no-brainer; and, all of these tit-for-tat posts will be seen as what they are...
I end this post as I began, when choosing to fight, remember that it may very well become a war without end. While not as attention-grabbing, a peaceful truce is what's called for on both sides of the fence.
Peace.
Peaceful truces is what we have tried. If you read @themarkymark's last post, he actually talks about the response he got from a contact of Haejin.
Haejin refuses to offer anything that is a viable option. He demands either all witnesses and whales cancel their earnings as much as he does, although he makes 10x more than they do off of one person.
Or he demands everybody stop and he continues to take disproportinate rewards.
It's like corruption in government. You turn a blind eye and it gets worse.
If the community refuses to fight against this, what does that say to other whales who feel they can do the same? Now you have a self jerk of whales with the rest of the community taking a loss because of it. Ultimately killing Steem.
I don't think their was any other option except for war. :/ I have been downvoted for trying to speak out and investigate. Not even on posts that make money. He simply wanted to bring down my rep.
It is saddening me, truly it is. There is always someone that will take a good thing and exploit it.
Thanks for your thoughts man.
Point.
This is why I wrote a proposal that those who flag/downvote spitefully should have to forfeit their rewards to those they slam.
Keep your chin up. As most who are active bloggers, I've been flagged for taking a stand; so know you are not alone.
Yes, I had to make peace a while ago that Steemit is a business, not utopia.
Peace for the journey.
@spl is so much fun and nothing but a huge positive for steemit. Maybe we can get @ranchorelaxo to come and play some poker with us!
One of the oddest things is when we discussed this attack the majority of the community didn't even know who @haejin is or the beef with @berniesanders.
Our community does not have beef with haejin and attacking our leader is completely desimating our community as a whole.
Is it worth creating a list of bad actors on Steemit who maliciously violate the norms?
