Solution for all in abuse?

[db_PokerPulse]

The poker rooms should give the option to players to solve the all in abuse issue.

Specifically, if each room listed besided each players name, #allInsThisWeek and #allInsPastYear, you would then have critical information required to assess whether or not you want to play at the specific table or tournament. Abusers would be well marked and as people avoided playing with obvious abusers, abusers (or people with terrible internet connections) would either reform (or buy better internet access arrangements) or else frequent allin players would end up playing with themselves. Wouldn't it be interesting to see what happens when 10 players that end up using the all in feature frequently are sitting at the same table?

Or wouldh't you love to find a table that featured 9 other players with a 0 allins this week and 0 allins past year!! Marketing opportunity?

In theory, but better would be all-ins / 1000 hands...and even then...all-ins on later streets are much different from early all-ins...and there-in lies the rub.

All-ins on dial up are different from all-ins on cable modem...or dsl.

All-ins when the net or the site happens to be cranky are different from abuse...in fact...it isn't all-ins, but abuse.

Excellent idea DB!

A scarlet "A" perhaps?

A good idea as it pertains to helping you scout the game in which you want to play. However, what do you do when one of these abusers sit at the table you are already playing? Presumably, your solution would be to move to another table...what is to stop this person from following you around, knowing he may tilt you (as it is obvious you are being put out by him and are trying to get away).

I do agree something should be done...the stat option is a good start.

No you need all-ins per hand played. If a player plays 10 million hands, he is going to have more all-ins. Many may be legitimate disconnects. You need to know if he goes all in every 10 hands. Or every thousand hands.

I think we should also be able to get players' net win/loss on the site. And perhaps their home address in case of a really bad suckouts. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

But seriously... some sort of allin info would be great. And in one of the other threads, it looks like Party may be considering ditching All-Ins in tourneys which would be just swell.

Give each player two options:

Button/Box 1 - Fold to any bet if disconnected.
Button/Box 2 - Call all bets if disconnected.

There could be two boxes on the screen, only one of the two is active at any point in time. Each player can switch between the two boxes, depending on the strength of his hand.

Example: You have AA. The flop is A72r. You would make sure Box 2 (call all bets) is checked [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Example: You have J8 in the BB. Make sure Box 1 is checked [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Since it's much more likely you get a crap hand/flop than a great one, they could set up Box 1 (fold if disconnected) as the default, and allow Box 2 to be activated only for the current hand. Then after the hand is over, Box 1 goes back to being active. This way you avoid the situation where a player forgets he had Box 2 activated, gets disconnected, and busts out with 72o.

Wow, I hope they don't show that the guy is all-in, because then people could bet up a storm knowing he has to call once he called a bet after a long delay.
