Whats up guys, maybe you remember me from my posts in the add 25/50 thread and 10/20 thread. For the background info I just got back from hollywood florida and i was playing in the mtt series there. We had an airbnb with 9 poker players, one of them is johnsquid from global who they are accusing me of colluding with. The last few days ive been playing the 5/T plo games and battling with johnsquid, I believe im up 5k or 6k against him, maybe more. We even played some HU, just HU the table never filled. Almost all of the hands we played together were HU in 6max. I remember one 3 way all in that I thought was pretty standard (we all had premium hands preflop) but all the other big hands were HU. I believe global never actually reviewed our HHs because it should be clear as day we are not colluding. They just saw us on the same IP and are auto restricting our accounts IMHO. While we were at the airbnb house I never played with johnsquid at the table or anyone else from the house, I barely played any on global poker. after all I was playing live grinding the series.

Theres a 5/T table going right now with someone else who was at the florida airbnb house is playing. And im terrified to sit because they could just say we are colluding as well and take my funds. Im hoping the 2+2 rep here can help me, there is not a lot of games going at 5/T and most of the regs know eachother in some way outside of global (skype/live poker). I believe you could say this about anyone and this is unfair. Here are my email screenshots. I cant have any proof that we werent colluding, but theres also no proof that we are colluding. You could say this about anyone. I just want global to actually review the hands.

Both players involved are close personal friends of mine, and jeremiahw is actually my roommate. I can confirm with 100% certainty that jeremiahw and the other involved player have not colluded or ever shared hole cards in a cash game or tournament on globalpoker. We were all just in Florida as we were last year around the exact same dates, for the tournament series at the Seminole hard rock in Hollywood from April 4-17th.

There isn't collusion going on here, they know eachother but at the table they are competitive and trying to win vs eachother as if they were anyone else. Review their hands and you will see, the restriction should be removed IMO.

why though why would you guys play on the same IP and at the same table? even if you guys werent sharing hole cards how do i know you werent in the same room and one of you glanced at the other twos laptop to see he folded Q789 that is cheating how many hands were played at the table against how many other players not on this ip address you can assure them guys that the whole time this went on none of you glanced at eachothers screens to get extra information? if sat at your tables when this happened i would be hard pressed to ever believe you guys werent cheating why play on the same IP at the same table?

that dont prove anything though they could just do this for plausible deniability and chop down the hands they played against eachother. the problem is what about all hte hands they played against other players how can you assure them when they were betting or bluffing or anything that they didnt look at eachothers screens to see what cards and suits couldnt be in play?

Thats the thing, we never played at the same table. Global blocks this from even happening when you are on the same IP. I played for about 30 mins at this florida house 1 tabling a 5/T holdem table. We were there for a live poker mtt series I was playing all my poker live during the trip

We never played together at all during the florida trip. I never really played on global during the trip I only logged on for 30 mins. Global blocks you from sitting at the same table when you have same IP. This is all in the original post in the bottom of first paragraph

30 day ban then accused of collusion. im sure everything youve done on the site is completely ethical and global is just out to get you.

lol I worked my way up from the lowest stakes by putting in the work. Global just needs to review our HHs like any other site and they would see its fine. I even played johnsquid HU, I guess we were colluding in hu too. Absurd

playing the guy youre colluding with HU seems like a good strat to me. hopefully a game forms around you, if not you can just square up later and use it as part of you defense if you get caught

Wait... maybe this is why I was banned? I also stayed at a friends place during WSOP and played while on his internet connection. We did not play at the same table while I was there. I played on my phone.

Global isn't it about time you gave me a straight answer? Is this why you banned me? Is it your overzealous location indicator? A ton of people share houses etc during vegas/other tourney series....

it probably is why your banned. they obviously didnt review mine/squids HHs before doing this. now im scared to play with other guys i traveled with during mtt series. They could just use this to ban any reg

Would be nice if they chat banned you too so I no longer have to cringe hard when you beg everyone at the table to play counterstrike or league of legends or whatever with you

i wish jeremiah would ask me to play video games with him...

Sounds shady at best....If I was going to be playing from the same IP as someone else I'd want to touch base with support and make sure I know what's allowed and what's not rather than risk getting banned

If a note popped up that 2 people were playing from the same IP I would leave the table immediately, and take note of who it was to avoid playing them in the future.....I say, if people are allowed to play from the same IP, then the rest of the players at the table should be informed of it!

I am going to assume that OP is lying. This is how most of these posts go.

this is a very odd thread. based on their email to you where they said they found foul play, i would think you would both be *banned*, not just banned from the same table. it would be more understandable if they hadn't said outright that they found something, and just suspected it was possible and were restricting you based on an abundance of caution.

no clue if there's actual evidence of collusion *cough cough this is why all online poker sites need hand histories* but just commenting on their response/handling of this.

i wonder if there were any other factors in their decision here.

I saw OP at the tables two days ago. Assume it worked out in his favor and he didn't come back to say that it was resolved.
