Agree, a whole table of 4 bigs tanking 70 away from the money. Makes it easy to squeeze out a small ROI, but annoying. They also sometimes make the money during late registration.

NEW TOURNAMENT STRUCTURES!!!

We have 2 tournaments being tested today with new structures.

Would love any and all feedback as it could help with all future tourneys.

Many thanks

I suspect these accounts in collusion:

Santisuk
BOONKOON
goawayb0i
M16nuke
PPNoodles
changy

Here are their sharkscope stats:

Accounts are listed from the newest to the oldest. Some of them were registered on the same day.

With great probability, all accounts come from the same country, and this is not the United States.

Average buy-ins, Early/Middle/Late outs, AFS, games per day, all of them have the same values.

Some accounts take long breaks and finish/start playing on the same day.





All these 11 accounts were playing last Saturday, March 8th, and everyone simultaneously missed the Sunday Main event on March 9th.


You can check it on Sharkscope.

I believe all accounts are managed by a team of 2-3 people, and they share their pocket cards. This gives them a huge advantage in the ICM stage and beyond.

They play only the most expensive tournaments with a small number of participants and Saturday-Sunday "majors".

They always jump-in during late registration with 25bbs or less, entering exactly 1:30 after the start of the tournament, with a small interval so that they are not immediately seated at the same table.

The best thing for them is when there are three of their accounts at the same table.

I have screen records of their registration process, and the final table when they outplay a fun player together.

I have 1500-2500 hands on them in the database, there are a lot of similar stats there, but the selection is small.

I suggest that all players who have suffered from the actions of this team make an alias from these accounts and send HandHistory to the mail bolcheaters@gmail.com . I think that on a sample of 10k hands for each, their strategy will be the same.

For analysis, I will create a separate database and after the investigation I commit to delete it.

I ask the BOL security department to block these accounts until the circumstances are clarified, in case of proof of their guilt, to keep all funds in their accounts and distribute between the affected players. They won about 500k$


At the moment, all accounts from the “bolcheaters” alias are open for search on Sharkscope.

If they get closed from monitoring after posting this, I propose that this be considered a confession.

I kindly ask everyone who regularly plays tournaments to leave a comment on what he thinks about this.

what about this. i cant find any answer here from mike. the evidence i would say is pretty clear that there is something wron. is the investigation still in process?
09-24-2020 , 02:49 AM
Hi Papa,

Our security team was informed of this situation, and I have not heard anything since (usually this is a good sign).
If you do have any more information like this please send it to me privately.
Recently we have been extremely successful with removing accounts that have been breaking our rules.

I will try and follow up to find out more information for you.

Kind regards

Mike

Nice work on all of this, you should be on the payroll. Almost half a mil cheated from players is no joke. Also being a new player on here, doesn't make me feel all too great about BOL security team.

They have added some very good/strong people to their team. I talked with them extensively when we exposed a bot farm that had several dozen accounts on Chico. They were very good in their actions. Cannot speak for prior staff actions, but the team recently joining them are fantastic and have good backgrounds, too.

Beginning Monday Oct 5 through Nov 1st players will be offered exclusive challenges in the Missions/Contests section of the poker lobby. This will be tailored to players in their same level of skill via the Trick or Treat challenges.


Kind regards

is there any sort of schedule anywhere? right now I don't see any contests in my missions. Will weekly 5K be back in Nov?
10-05-2020 , 11:36 AM
I see an "Immortal Race Challenge" in the missions tab but no info when I click on it. Is this one of the promotions?
10-05-2020 , 12:43 PM
Everything should be up shortly, I have been told.

As soon as I get it ill post it.
10-06-2020 , 10:05 PM
how many tournaments run each day and how can you see this without registering for a new account.
10-08-2020 , 02:43 AM

I've only got to use it once. We chopped 4-handed a $22 pko $7500 guaranteed. Everyone has to click "Make a Deal."

It will then give you a pop-up window and it shows you the payouts for ICM chop, for chip count chop, and for chop based on current place. Everyone has to agree to the type of chop.

For some reason, whenever I make the FT of the early morning $3.30 rebuy, the chop is not an option for some reason, even though I swear I thought in the tournament lobby it says deals are allowed for that tournament (I've FT'd this particular tournament a lot as well, but the option is never there).
10-08-2020 , 03:10 AM
I am just waiting to find out more info on this, not sure why it would say a deal is available and then not be able to to the deal.

Many thanks

Mike

Dear BetOnline Tournament Director

Basically I created account on 2+2 to tell my opinion on tournaments on Chico as I play there nearly every day ( or at least I used to ). First of all after closing the poker client there is a popup window to leave feedback on the site.I did that many times but it was just a waste of time...

So back to the topic.Your site is slowly but surely becoming worse and worse for tournaments.Basically the whole schedule is now only MONSTER tournaments and sattelites.Problem with monster tournaments are that they are basically unplayable after / near registration ends.For one reason I get it that long registration is good for Betonline as you can get more players in and reentries etc etc but once registration is over a tournament which has 3 hours of latereg suddenly becomes shallow stack hyperturbo till the end.I dont know how can a tournament end its latereg with 5bb as starting stack.Tell me how is this structure ever going to be somewhat playable and soemwhat deep-ish.......NEVER.Same goes for Mega structures.I see that you are TESTING new structure now but it doesnt matter if you do 8 minute levels or 12 ...it is the number of levels latereg is allowed so 8 minute levels and 18 levels of latereg with 50K starting stack = 5bb starting stack at the end of latereg.So you basically made this structure even more hyperturbo once latereg is over.This structure is terrible for both recreationals and regulars as regulars will leave the site and play on other sites and same goes for recreationals who I see asking in the chat after 1 hour of playing "how long does this tournament take".It is just a matter of time before players realize this structure is unbeatable (unless you sunrun ) and they will leave your site completly.Best structure you have on your site is the DEEP 6´s structure.Nice 2 hour latereg with 10bb starting stack ending.No reason to have more than 2 hours of latereg at all.If someone wants to play it he will rather play it whn its 2 hour latereg instead of 3 or 3,5 .PLEASE think about it!As I mentioned before same goes for Mega.

Other thing is schedule is filled with sattelites.It is nice but also unreal structures for sattelites and you have just a bit too many of them.Instead try to add some tournaments with GTD money.Last thing i would like to add is the PKO tournaments.I Dont even want to talk about bad structure but you should really try and make more 6max PKOs insead of 9max.Thats just the way PKOs should be and as there is more variance in 6max you will get also more reentries and it will be easier to fill GTDs

Thats how I see Chico tournaments
I would love to hear some feedback from you

Peace

At the start of the final table, so for most tournaments that'd be 9-handed. (There are some 6-max nlhe ones and all plo and plo/8 are 6-handed).

Hi PoutinePenguin,

I believe the rewards are individually based and will be unique to your account.
Speak to live support and they may be able to get you an exact answer on your specific bonus.

I know that some player's promotions start on Columbus Day.

Kind regards

Mike

would you consider lowering the guarantees but decreasing late reg by 30min-1hour?

thanks!
