none of these are as bad as what happened to mlg last night

aruba satellite on UB

somethin like 9 left w/ 8 getting seats

2nd biggest stack raises, biggest stack reraises all in


after some time passes, the biggest stack types "I have AA, you should fold, i'll show"




i'd go berzerk.

[/ QUOTE ]

why? I'd probably fold Kings here anyway if I was the second stack. Hell, I wouldn't want to call with Aces to tell you the truth...

[/ QUOTE ]

umm...cause if the guy was STUPID enough to actually call and lose then everyone left gets a seat. his chat in the box prevented him from possibly making that mistake.

you don't see something REALLY wrong with that?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really, big stack could be lying anyway and show a trash hand. Just because someone says something in a poker chat room, doesn't make it true...especially players playing against you at a table for a sum of money.

Maybe it helped him maybe it hurt him...who really can say?

At the same time, the big stack doesn't want him to call even if he has AA. I'm sure this is against the rules, but from the big stack point of view its a good move.

How do you fold AK face up? Um, yeah, if I was playing only that table I'd be a little upset the second stack wasted all that time thinking about it. Other than that, I think I'd be fine.

Dear Jim,

Thank you for bringing this to our notice. We do see that this player has been
announcing his hole cards before the game is over. We agree that this is against
the established Poker Etiquette and amounts to violation of the same.

Based on your report and subsequent investigation, we have,

1) Blocked his chatting facilities
2) Sent him a warning letter, stating that such actions are not encouraged in
this card room and further action might be initiated if similar actions are
repeated.
3) Flagged his account to periodically review the player's activities.

Jim, we thank you for bringing this to our notice, as this is in keeping with
our priority of keeping up the integrity of this card room and the fairness of
our games. It indeed is heartening to have players like you in this card room
who care about the integrity of our games.

Contact us anytime, we are available around the clock to assist you with your
account related questions and suggestions

This should have been the response:

Dear Jim,

After reviewing your complaint we think it's time you stopped acting like a big girl. Who care that he announce he had QJ. We don't, nobody else does. Get a life!

Thanks

Yes, exactly. Usually they're called "Customer Support" though.

Theres a chance AK gets busted and you win your seat but AA tells AK to fold and your only concern is the 30 seconds or so wasted.

As if he could know the big stack was going to re-raise him....

[/ QUOTE ]

9 left, 8 get seats, and you're in 2nd place with AA. Are you gonna call an all-in from big stack? Me neither. Big stack knows this and will re-raise anything.
