I dont know too much about Woobblys story, but he was a regular poster here so I thought the mentioning of both him and Liquidpoker was pretty funny. Apparently WCGRider crushed his soul. WCGRiders podcasts are usually great in themselves so def check it out:

i read about this before. on 2p2 there is a picture of him holding a wad with the caption "thanks wobbly". I think he posted here that he suspected he was cheated by some crazy gto program.

The story of wobbly_au, wobbling through PokerStars making his margins. I will end it there because i do not want to tell another man's story, especially when we did not always have the best of relationships. I will say running into a relatively unknown monster and getting eaten alive happens to the best of us. Getting a little crazy playing poker hands day in and day out is a certainty as well. Ahhh, memories.

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time

WCG seems like a cool guy
can't really force myself to watch more than 15minutes of this though ... feels like random conversations between 2 friends and thats okay, but not really worth watching i guess?
too bad he couldn't find the picture he made though :D

at the time it started, WCGRider was known more as a decent-but-not-great low-midstakes fullring grinder who spazzed out a lot preflop and played a shitload of hands at a marginal winrate. so when he started regularly battling good regs at mid-high stakes and winning, wobbly as well as a few other people suspected someone else was playing on WCG's account.
i probably wouldn't defend wobbly for too many things, but i think given the circumstances at the time, the suspicions were pretty understandable. there were other LPers in those games who felt the same way.

I'm pretty sure in one of the previous pod's Doug did with Joe, he had mentioned Wobbly at length. There was like 3-4 guys that single handedly got him from 2/4 to 25/50. I definitely remember that Nanonoko was another one that he crushed really hard.
I found it interesting that he also mentioned in that most recent pod that he thought Wobbly was still winning even though Doug himself was already winning so much off of him. Kinda speaks to how strong of a player Wobbly was in that time playing 6m and FR I'd imagine

he was referring just to playing wobbly HU but I think he was saying that in the FR and 6m games wobbly was still a big winner

I just listened to the podcast. WCG talks about how he moved from 3/6 to 25/50 HU just from playing wobbly "That's the way to do it just keep playing the same person on the way up". Another funny bit is WCG saying something like "it's to bad when someone gets smashed down and they don't come back up again" **slight pause** "of course i put a lot of people down there." haha
Here is the thread where people accuse wcgrider of multi-accounting with jungleman, WCG defends himself and talks about playing wobbly:

If i remember correctly Wobbly was indeed convinced he was multiaccounting with I think Jungleman, given his recents results I think more likely it was himself playing, im not sure if he was ghosting or something but he doesnt seem that close to the previous HU monsters (Sauce, Jungle, Dwan, Galfond).
Wobbly played WCG HU because we all considered him a 6max fish, he was pretty spazzy and bad in general so Wobbly assumed he would be as bad in HU and he probably was better and ran hot.
I think Wobbly would be unpleasantly surprised of WCG success lately lol.
Also there have been talks at 2p2 that there was massive highstakes cheating that went on, or might be still be going on. It was insinuated that the feared HS players have been multi accounting. It was tweeted even by some guy poker player highstakes guy, and the 2p2'er fanboys were like "Give proof or it didn't happen... blah blah".

This.
when has his name come up in cheating scandals other than during his quick rise from midstakes to nosebleeds? if you just mean he made a new accounts or used friends' accounts to get action then yeah, pretty sure that's very common, especially from people who have trouble getting action otherwise (not trying to justify or excuse it, just saying he has a lot of company there).
but he made his name in HUNL so it's kinda hard for him to be colluding or similar, which i'd consider a much more serious and worrisome form of cheating.
