Ukrainian player kox44x uses some kind of cheating program, team playing or seeing player cards or all above. I have contacted your support now about year about that player but nothing happens. If you don't believe me there is lots of talking about him on my topic here and forums. It's not possible to achieve that kind of winrate with those stats and playing those hours with exact timings on with betting. He is 100% sure cheating. Block him right now!

Sent this over to be investigated.

Regards

That's right. Thanks for your help!

He is still playing today. Not even under investigation.

What are you talking about Paisting? I have 5600 hands of him from 10NL snap. kox44x is a 1bb/100 reg on that sample

He definitely can't be. He is making ridiculous calls with trash aces on spots where he is always dominated making many of as believing he has some information about hands. There is guy on my topic that made really long post with pictures about his really odd stats and how those changed like in one night. And then the biggest thing, his timing tells are always same. I have counted them many times and example when he is calling flop the check after that comes exact same time in every spot. And when he calls reraise or bets after when checked to. Exact same timing in every spot. He is 100% sure stealing peoples money. I have lots of videos about him. If 888 let him play I post those videos public.

Strange. To me he strikes as an abc reg. There are much better regs than him at that stake imo. Anyway, he did not rip me off that much I guess

I was shocked when looked this up. Although knowing his definitely hoaxing.



It seems like some kind of glitch that allows him to see cards. Total impossible with his stats and what you talk about him style to make calls like Qhigh small kicker-Ahigh small kicker that are always like 1 card better kicker. With those stats you won't normal see those kind of hands ever.

Not even a top reg, hes just playing zillions of hands ....

So on your table he is a losing player who makes bad calls and sometimes gets lucky. This fact is tilting you and you say 888 should ban him. Did I miss anything?

Those calls are really absurd if we think how he plays. It seems like he has some kind of bot program when is playing so much hands people are telling here. With these infos combined and his winrate 1bb/100 how likely is it for that king of player have hands like Q5o etc in spots where I have Q4 like on blinds. How likely it is for that king of player calling with A3o against early open and then calling 3 streets when early opener have A2s without knowing player cards. This should be seen on his stats and it's not. I'm 100% sure that we have hoaxer on tables. You should be really cautious when you sit on tables with him.

Hi, I have a couple of issues I would like to discuss/address


1) How are players able to sit a table with no action, sit out (to wait for recreational to sit in) without playing any hands and wait 7 mins till they get kicked off and repeat? Is it within the TOS of rules of the game? Because whenever I sit a table, I basically have to play a bunch of hands before I can even sit out.


2) The use of seating scripts is prevalent on your platform and there seems to be little to nothing being done about it. What kind of evidence do we need to procure to report someone for using seating scripts? Because I already have a few names down but I want to collect substantial evidence in order for you guys to be able to take enforceable action


3) Can you pls get me in touch with your operations and security team to work on the seating script problem together? I have a bunch of ideas. Basically track the seating habits of players - how quick does player X reserves a seat on average? How many tables do player X have going on avg.? How often do player X get the best seats? What is the avg. time it takes them to reserve a seat whilst grinding X amount of tables - e.g. if someone consistently reserves the seat regardless of whether he's playing 1 table or 8 tables


You can get in touch with me here on 2p2 via pm, or via email (my user is: GetMyCoffeee), or ideally, add me on discord (will give it via PM)

I sent this over for you.

Regards

Paisting on 888 is fattest whale , tiltiest monkey poker ever seen, showing 100bb stacks with crap hands with no knowledge about probabilities and poker in general. Calling with A high against him is easy. There is is nothing to investigate .

Very interesting view of this topic if we think what kind of scandals we have seen during last year’s like gg and other sites. I’m not only one who has very suspicious actions of this player. Everyone of us playing should have one thing clear in mind. And that is fair play without any manipulation. When we see something suspicious we need to make it to public.

888Rep, I would like to report player Paisting from Finland. His play makes me think that he is using something.. cheated software, crystal ball or voodoo magic. I can't find any other explanation how he can preflop showe J6o and win on showdown . Other time he called all-in with 73o and won against aces. Unbelievable! I’m not only one who has very suspicious actions of this player. When we see something suspicious we need to make it to public.

I sent you a pm and am awaiting your reply.

Thanks

@888Rep wath is going on with your micro MTT that 99% of them are now turbo?

off course that he should be banned due to annoying play style.

Hello 888rep,

during several past and actual tournament series on 888 (I guess only on sundays) there are frequently few satellite tournnaments that run without pause. For example today it were these tournaments: #253519031 and #253515971. In the tournament descriptions breaks were stated at 55 minutes past the hour, but no breaks came. Please forward it in order to be fixed for the future.

Sent over.

Thanks

FYI,

Hi,

The examples that the player gave were sats that were made to have no breaks on purpose. 99% percent of the sats have normal breaks.

We will however do better to avoid these until we fix the issue with the lobby description.

Thanks for the feedback.

The Micro tournaments have variable blind levels that does speed things up from the mid stages of the tournaments. We did this off the assumption that most micro tournament players will prefer faster formats. We appreciate the feedback.

Regards

888rep, please forward my feedback:

Please reconsider the decision to run some tournaments without breaks. Players need pauses for human needs and/or to just relax before playing another hour. That is exactly the reason why all the big poker sites synchonized their breaks at 55 past hour. There is really no reason to break this unwritten rule.
