Sites can't allow multiple ID's from the same household to play at the same tables or tournaments or SNG's. I don't see whats so hard to understand about this matter? If they openly allow it, then they are openly allowing the free wheeling abuse of colluders. IF theres no rules whatever to sanction this, then you will see many many people sitting at many many computers at the same table at the same household, looking at eachothers cards and manipulating the pots when they are in the same hands.

So you can't permit players from the same household ever playing at the same tables or same tourneys. Of course, those who are intent on cheating will find an easy way to do so. But still, sites can't sanctify doing so is permissable.

I think you're missing the point. This was a MULTI TABLE tournament. Friends/spouses/roommates/siblings/etc., have no control over the seat assignments, which is why they are allowed to play in the same tourney. The only time they are guaranteed to be at the same table is if the players in question make the final table. And as TruePoker CEO said, it is when they are finally seated together that the poker room will review the play for collusion.

Why not just, in the future, not allow two players under the same roof from playing in the same MTT?

Because there are specialty tournaments and freerolls that are one-of-a-kind. If my wife and I play thousands of hands and pay the rake and that rake money goes to a freeroll that we both qualify to enter, we would be pissed of only one of us could play.

I'm not declaring the weight of this factor versus the security issue -- I'm just saying that there are legitimate reasons for both sides. Every legitimate player deserves a fair game and a fair poker experience. Rules that protect one party but harm another must be very carefully considered.

True Poker is a class act. A 4 color deck and 2-d view would make it one of my main sites.

Much respect for being very customer oriented.

Im not sure what formula was used to reach a $50 slap in the face but look at the formula we have,

Wife 107000 Raked Hands to date + Me 79000 Raked Hands to Date + Tourney Fees + Referalls = What just about any other poker site is looking for.

TomCollins · #56 07-25-2005, 10:06 PM

Yeah, I'm sure any other site would have given you $200.

Give the $50 to me if you aren't happy with it.

Was it $50 + return of the entry fees.

Or

Was it $50 period. Making it $44 for entries, and $6 for inconvenience?

When you were leading first and second in the tourny, how far from the money were you?

You should have got something closer to this:

Players still in the tournament at time of cancellation will be refunded as follows:
1 Prize money equal to the amount that would have been awarded to the next player getting eliminated from the MTCT will be awarded to all the players still in the tournament at the time of cancellation.

2 Of the balance Prize Pool left awarding as per point 1, 50% of the remaining Prize Pool will be distributed equally between all players still in the tournament at the time of cancellation and 50% of remaining Prize Pool will be distributed on a percentage basis at time of cancellation based on their chip count.
