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?

No return of entry fees.... 6 from money!

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.

That would would if the tourney was cancelled, We were the only 2 removed and the tourney continued and they paid out the full prize money to the winners Including our $40 worth of entry fees...

[grinin]

Was it your fault that you were removed from the tourney?

No, so it was effectively "cancelled" for you.

You should settle for nothing less and quite frankly I am surprised that it was not resolved that way. Possibly just miscommunication between TrueCEO and accounting?

The OP admitted that he and his wife were looking at each others' hole cards while seated at the same table. That is cheating. Considering that, why did True give him a refund of any sort?

I don't recall anywhere in the thread where OP admitted this.

[M.B.E.]

He admitted it in the MTT forum. Just click on the OP's screen name, then click on "Show All User's Posts".

Interesting.

I've been following this thread with interest and believed the whole incident to be due to an unfortunate misunderstanding and poor communication amongst TP staffers.

This was prior to reading the thread in the MTT forum.

You (Banned) acknowledge that you and your wife shared hole cards while seated at the same table. This is cheating and provides you and your spouse a significant advantage.

I'd be curious to know if TruePokerCEO has had a chance to look at the MTT thread and how it may change his view of the incident.

Your account should be frozen.

Case closed.

LOL....First, Since the beginning we have admitted to the following,

We have the same IP address, we live together(i thought this was obvious since I call her my wife), we can see each others monitors on rare occasions that we get moved to the same table in MTT tourneys...

Say what you will it is in the Rules at True Poker that we are allowed to play the same MTT tourney and if it were to happen that we ended up on the same table of a MTT, the play would have to be reviewed after tourneys and actions taken to make things right.....

That said, we were doing nothing wrong according to the rules, If I had told you that my wifes computer was in the west wing of the house and we had no way to communicate, would that change the way you feel....Im not stupid, I know it wouldnt...

As for our accounts...pffft...Freeze them...we have cashed out and moved on...

So finally, we agree 100% that their policy on this matter might need to be reviewed... And if you had read all my posts we admitted that if we ended up on same table that we would be at an advantage...

man I CANT BELIEVE THAT THE SITE IVE PLAYED 180000 RAKED HANDS ON DID THAT TO LONG STANDING CUSTOMERS. I am not going to play there any more... and i hope others will do the same...
