2. What kind of team would not have the common sense to perma someone using RTA? Again understandable from the aspect of catching individuals.
Issues like this are annoying from a player standpoint especially someone like me. I'm ass enough at poker and play for fun while making some sweeps coins, but things like this are like wtf is the point.
I've never received one refund from any of the banned players...like throw us a bone with the amount of rake some of us have paid while playing with cheaters. I was told I "didn't lose" (laughable) to the players and was shown some kind of stat showing my winnings against them. No way for me to verify it, what's the date range of these winnings, is this only HU pots or are you digging into multi-way etc. I've also never received an email alerting me of a name change even though I know I've put in 1000s of hands against at least 3 who had a name change.
I really do like Global and it's the site where I've put in most of my volume. I just hope you all are able to improve in probably the most detrimental thing to online poker. Even ACR attempted to communicate with the players about catching cheating and attempted to make amends.
Well, I think I know who you're referencing, but I completely understand Global's POV. The individual in question brought an entire group of people who were:
autoclicking for priority seats
using preflop and postflop rta
using HUDs
to the attention of Global Poker. Also, the individual exposed the MASTERMIND behind the project who was depositing funds in every stakee's account. These are people who played together regularly. I will not speculate that they were also colluding, but...
Anyway, like I said, the person you're referencing alerted Global of these issues. He should be cut a little slack.
oh
wait
wait
no
He actually didn't bring it to Global's attention. Some random reg ended up doing a deep dive, figuring this all out, and reporting it to Global.
So why the **** is this individual still allowed to play on Global Poker? Him and the rest of the group stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from other recs and regs who were playing at a disadvantage the whole time. How in the **** is that fair?
And he changed his screenname. Wow.
