Absolute Poker Account Frozen

[grimel]

Actually, it is in the T&C. One of the many we do what we want statements.

Not viewing you as a troll, just telling you the zoo is a tad bit rude and proactive in general.

As for the Patriot Act, it falls in with any othe time the goverment proposes to protect/aid me. I'm dubious at the minimum and expect a pure disaster as the norm.

" Default freezing of poker accounts without justification pursuant to the terms and conditions of the user agreement makes me feel protected from cheaters about as much as the Patriot Act makes me feel protected against terrorists."

You seem much brighter than many on here . . .

yep, most posts of this nature have about three things in common,
1. small site
2. new poster
3. plays NL

and as grimel also points out they don't post again.

Received reply from Absolute. Buried amongst all the padding was this statement:

" For obvious reasons I cannot discuss the particulars of the
gentleman in question's account, but rest assured he was provided with the
necessary information concerning his account, both via email and verbally by
phone."

So now it's up to Mr. Rasta to give us a definite YES or NO whether this is true.

Hmmm.......
I was under the assumption that Absolute had a policy to not to get involved in any of the online forums?

Excerpt from a Microbob post when dealing with Brent from Absolute.
"We’ve made it a company policy to stay off of the forums for a few reasons, but I don’t mind you posting our correspondence."

Care to clarify?

The obvious difference is that I suggested it this time.

I've discussed the T&C with my site and they have given me citations to it, but failed to give me facts to support it. That's my problem, and what seemed like was happening to others. (They can tell me if I'm wrong please, I can't read through all these posts again.)

I was trying to be diplomatic so as not to be viewed as a troll. I don't mind a little of the rough side, just figured people with a history of posts get a little lee-way.

Why mention few players and rapidly learning who's who?

I am a 2+2 newby. We all agree. However I've been reading 2+2 texts since I came to poker about 2 years ago, have a sizable 2+2 library, and over my 2 years time I have been a small cash winner. I realize the importance of playing the player, and can sit at a table and figure out everybody's style pretty quickly. I play at a site where you don't people over again too frequently, but I still find it pretty easy to keep track of them.

You may think I'm a liar and that's fine. The point is, you may not believe me, but there are people like me out there because of the excellent advice in 2+2 texts. Jah Rasta may be simmilar.

Hence, sharing this information may be a natural way of filling in the forum on the contextual history.

I'm not disagreeing with you as much as, again, I see alternatives that are not improbable. Perhaps you can explain why mentioning the number of players and general style of play on the site is suggestive of impropriety.

[giddyyup]

for the record, I play small stakes limit stud, he/nl sng's, he/nl (and the very rare limit) multi-table tourney.

and you can review my posts, i may mostly lurk, but they sure don't relate to complaining about poker sites. mostly the assinine god discussion on the psych forum, politics (back when I was pissed about spineless Kerry), and sng profits.

as if anybody cares, but i didn't want that generalized list to go uncontradicted. most things are ever so cut-and-dried.

no, probably just more opinionated.
