    No, cheating is not allowed here wemjay.

    If you have genuine evidence, Sky will deal with the matter appropriately.

    sounds like cheatin to me mate, u got a case there
  • edited October 2009

    Yes, that's wrong WEMJAY.

    But you've now made 5 Posts in as many minutes on the same subject all over the Forum, & that won't solve the problem.

    Send an e-Mail in, or a Personal Message to Sky Rich.
     
    That's the best way to get it sorted.

    Good luck.

    i'm not sure this is cheating more very un-ethical and just rude by the player that says it.

    Something should be done for you though or just name and shame them and hope they get it dont back to them :(

    Interesting one this.

    I don't play live so would love to know, surely this would be classified as cheating or illegal play in a live game?

    Either hand would be dead or player who called out his hand would not be allowed to play it?

    I don't actually know what the ruling would be, so if anyone knows, please post, ta.

    Trust me on this, please don't keep posting this all over the forum, it will only antagonise the mods who will close/remove your threads and eventually give you a forum ban.

    But please use the 24 hour live support on the left hand side of the page. Go to your finished games, look at the gme in question, times etc and they can check it out for you.

    If you only p*** off the moderators and regulators they are going to be less likely to be sypathetic to your case.

    The one thing i cannot understand is even aces can be cracked by rags. Why tell other players to fold? By the law of average, the more callers there are, the more likely you are to get busted. If he had asked for help, then that IS a different story.



  • edited October 2009

    The reason I think it would be deemed illegal play is because the player called out his hand out of turn, thus making it dead?

    Or have I got this completely wrong?

    Sorry, i edited my last post after you typed in thanks.

    I assume you were referring to me saying it is illeagal to declare your cards in anyway before other players have had a chance to act.

    I have had it but under slightly different circumstances. Although the forum wasnt the place for me to discuss it. I had it dealt with by Sky customer services.

    to be honest mate i believe you have waited till you have had a few beers, and then just fancy a good old moan, if livechat cant see what you are talking about (they can recall conversations on the tables i think) then it never happened imo

    shows ur brainless then why would i bother with making a point of it and i hope they can recall it all to prove me right

    Yes they can go back and check chat but also they also email the other players on the table in events like this to get the full facts.

    Still cant get my head round why he would want others to fold. 'Many hands make light work' so they say

    Were you the short stack on the table, if so the other players calling or not would have made no difference to the outcome as lets be honest, he's never gonna fold.

    Personally, I think because the outcome would have been the same regardless then Sky have no need to persue this further other than perhaps giving the villain a chat ban. Certainly I cant see them refunding your buy-in/giving you free seat in next months primo. I reiterate, this is only my opinion.

    While it is innappropriate to talk about hands in the chat box, in this instance no harm was done?  He was always calling with AA.  You was gonna lose a large proportion of the time.

    He did cover himself from being given a bad beat tho by another caller but w/e, that didn't change your hand or chance of winning it only increased his by a small percentage.

    My advice would be to stop moaning and get on with it.  Because no one really cares and you are embarrasing yourself by moaning so much about being knocked out of a low limit satellite tournie.

    Actually by encouraging others to fold only increased your chances.
    He did you a favour by ultimately protecting your hand against multiple opponents.

    It didn't increase his chances.  He still needed to beat AA, as did anyone else calling.

    It would have increased his equity in the total pot but thats a different matter.

  • edited October 2009
    It DID increase his chances of winning the pot - probably not significantly but it did increase them.

    Sorry to disagree, it did increase his chances as he only had to beat AA, not AA, KQ J7 etc etc.

    Yes, it did at the same time increase AA's chance of winning the pot but it was bubble time. +ev states AA did not need to win the pot, just ensure the all in lost it and by having multiple opponents would increase the chances of that happening.

    ok well thats why i love poker.  just did some quick calcs on various random hands and have found that yeah they tend to increase the chance by a fraction of a percentage.

    now im gonna try and find out why that is because i can't figure it out myself, in fact IMO it should decrease the chance......

    maybe im just thick
