Banned From Truepoker
I posted this in MTT section but its probably beter here!
Like it says, me and my wife were banned for "Colluding".. BUT, Here is what happend and I would like some honest opinons... We have been playing at the same site for approx 3 years... Sometime 3 years ago when we started we asked a question...The weekly "Big Tourney" was coming up and we asked support if it was ok for me and the wife to both play. Support respone was..."We have no control over multi table tourney seating so yeah" "Just dont play single table ones" Im like sweet...So we play...For the past 3 years we have played approx 200,000 raked hands there and have enterd a handful of tourneys...We just havent been into the tourneys is all. So 3 years later we enter a 20+2 multi table tourney with a field of 65... After first break I have chip lead and the wife is sitting in 2nd... I get moved and sure enough I am at her table... we play a bit and the player on my right says " Hey isnt in kinda wrong for the 2 of you to be at the same table" I respond...yes and no..But we asked host and they says its ok for Multi Table Tourneys... he babbles and gets pissed...goes on tilt and loses his stack(not to me or the wife).. 2 mins later....I get a message from the host He goes on saying that its not allowed...blah blah blah...I tell him we checked first...blah blah blah.. Then he bans us both(for 24hrs) and we are gone from tourney...and site... To be perfectly honest, it wasnt or isnt our intention to collude and are very honset people that love poker and work hard to try and improve our game...

Re: Banned From Truepoker
It does suck... explain your story, and promise to never play the same tourny together again.

Re: Banned From Truepoker
I can't blame TP for what they did to you and your wife. I wouldn't want to be sitting at the final table with two people from the same household. Or any table for that manner.
Sure, maybe you and your wife are honest, but if they allowed it for you, then they'd have to allow it for others, who may not be so honest. So best to not allow it for anyone. I'm sure the support person who told you it was OK was in error. I'm glad the site didn't take drastic measures against you two, as that sounds like it would be uncalled for. But now you know it's not OK and can avoid that mistake in the future. However, I think they should refund your buy ins to the tourney if you show them the correspondence with support that said it wasn't against any rule.

Re: Banned From Truepoker
We play MTT tourneys at other sites(ie: PP, PS) and it has been confirmed by phone with security at PP that it is ok.
Couples that play MTT tourneys together is more common that you think. The only reason that it became an issue is that me and my wife share similar names at TP. If we were hiding something...that would be the first thing... Think of how many college kids play in dorms, shared housing etc.. In my opinion...the software would dissallow registration of 2 players housing the same IP address.

Re: Banned From Truepoker
Couple things...
1)You actually got this confirmed from TP that it is okay? That detail isn't clear in your posts. You mention other sites and you mention 3 years ago, but you never actually mention True Poker told you it was okay. 2)PM David, True Poker's CEO. David's a really nice guy and very well respected around here so be nice to him.
