unlikely u will get a refund unless it is an open and shut case

here is a very similar case involving remote viewing software (cliffs - no refund was given):

We don't even share reads or discuss hands together, because everyone of us is so ambitious and wants to be the best.
Badmouthing us is just RIDICULOUS, you will have a hard time finding players with better manners out there.

I'm confused as to why the OP wants Full Tilt to "rectify" the situation.

You admit that you used Teamviewer to broadcast your hole cards to other people, and you want Full Tilt to reimburse you for your incompetence? Seriously?

i checked out the HH's, i think there is very small chance you were scammed.

You ran incredibly badly which will happen over a small sample ldo

You also seem to fold in alot of spots that seemed somewhat exploitable. I cant remember specific hands but situations where you had the top of your c/c, c/c range.
It obviously works for you given you are apparently very successful.

Sorry to hear about the whole situation.

So scammed or not, how ****** odd is it that someone who has never played one hand of LHE, let alone one hand of HU LHE decides to take a shot at one of the best at 500/1k. Loses pretty badly at 500/1k over a decent amount of hands, then wants to play 2k/4k and completely destroys one of the best.

Add to that the fact that a third party was watching the exact match on teamviewer?

Way too much coincidence there.

Not that odd unless the guy just came from nowhere and has never played high stakes in any game.

I play much much lower stakes than this and can remember a specific situation that happened about a year ago where the same type of thing happened to me. Some guy joined me @ 3-6 HUlimit and I beat him for about 100 bets in 100 hands. He then asks me to kick it up to 5-10 and we break even. He then asks for 10-20 and he goes on a crazy run and kills me and then quits. This guy was even folding to my 3 bets preflop and doing other weird things but he just got smashed by the deck and I ran bad.

Turns out the guy I played was one of the best mid stakes NL players and had never played a hand of limit in his life.

I guess having someone watching you from team viewer makes the chances go up that he was possibly cheated but then again when your playing this high and have a guy who set up the match that you don't really know too well watching through team viewer you are begging to get rolled

Hey HASU , do you ever coach in FLHU ?
12-10-2010 , 05:48 PM
I still want to know how this match was arranged???

"Hey my buddy is a mid-stakes NL player, but really wants to play you HU at 2k/4k . . ."

It's like the poker version of 'Inglorious basterds'



Love that film!

there's a guy who did this to me a long time ago, and he thinks I forgot about it. For a long time, I let him think I didn't know. Now he knows I know and he is still in the poker world. Sir, if you are reading this: do not ever walk down a flight of stairs alone. accidents happen.

edit: nah, just kidding. let's be friends. There's a staircase convention in town in chicago in a month. let's meet there. I will be the guy impersonating a limo driver so as to deliver you to a den of whores with a few knives and no souls.

Wow, I like how OP got all of his friends to come support him in this thread.

Hasu, why don't you just admit that you ran into a shark? You were trying to hustle some no limit fish but it turned out you ran into a hustler. You thought you were getting over on some chump nl fish who was out of his element and you were going to make big money, well, sometimes in poker you are the fish. When a guy manipulates you to see his whole card he's just getting over on another degenerate gambler, like all gamblers do to each other. That's what you get for agreeing to play someone you thought would be a huge limit fish. Sometimes fish are superusers, lesson learned I guess.

hmm ive played with missnikita1987 for lots of hours at 25 50 NL cap back in the day when he/she was a "reg" and i can honestly say a few things based on those games

1) she was a nit with game selection, always looking for an edge and would never take the worst of it to say even start a game - she ALWAYS was the kind of person where if the fish sits out 3handed she'd sit out and wait for the game to come back "on"

2) she wasn't, isn't that good at NL, cap NL is somewhat of a structurally math game -- she did alot of stuff that is just bad/plain wrong in the math department, so for her to completely come out of nowhere and

a) change her game selection ways
b) somehow "pick up" the math even in a game that is even more-so math oriented and take on who i presume is one of the best hu LHE players??.. i dont know seems rather fishy and not that i have any proof or can contribute anything i'd just be pretty shocked if that was actually missnikita1987 legitimately beating you.

basically im just rambling now but take it for what it's worth.

Damn man, I dont understand why people be ****ing *******s like that really.
Friends, **** friends..

My mom always said if you and your 'Friend' are standing on a highbuilding and you need to jump of it and die most of your friends will likely say gl with that and ill miss you, A real friend would give his hand and jump together. I do not believe anyone would do that, So do not trust anyone, Period.

If you were a real real friend, to your real friends, you wouldn't jump off a building with them standing next to you, because you'd be putting your real friends in a situation where they had to suicide themselves, and a REAL real friend doesn't make real friends kill themselves.

amirite
