Maybe you have too many poker clients running at the same time and that would also help to freeze it up on you. If you just sit out for a hand until the 888 poker client is up and running will help you out some.

Regards!

can u explain? how do they try and get rid of regs and why?

thanks

6 table max on cash games, higher then industry average rake, poor reward system. Things that affect regs negatively, but fish don't even know anything about.

i also had a "few" problems with 888 but the latest was today when i want it to deposit for a promotion 150$ and i have moneybookers in euro. at the exchange rate the take 120,56 euro, i was courious how much stars take and i was amazed for the same amount 115,49 WTFFFFFFF? 5 euro difference at this amount (150$) it seems to me a ton of money

Lesson learned
never let 888 do the exchange for you, use Moneybookers in $ and rather go 888->moneybookers->bank (or 888->mb->stars->bank if you wanna save 1.8€) rather than 888->bank if you don't want to get raped.

Watch these players closely and see how often chip dumping, soft playing and sit outs happen at key times in the games. Check their Sharkscope stats when playing on the same tables.

I saw it also and its not only chip dumping sitout DC tricks also coverbets targeting other players with randon **** hands on stacks also all these players never ever bust eachother and what are the odds?! playing all day same tables... few of them on the leaderboards SAD part is 888 sees nothing untill you report with hand IDs and table# they are blind to the problem as all they care about is RAKE and allow these cheats to make fake traffic on the 21.5$ Turbo Dons SNG pls we need the HELP of the poker comunity to clean up the tables from these cheats that team play vs other players call them selfs regs and solid players from leaderboard when its a group of 10-12 ppl sitting on skype taking the piss I can confirm your list plus i will add few more names later on.

its tarunchyk and also you can add to the list .L.plates also known as Magic.Merny aka merny, onytheking list goes on and on...

I am sure there will be a lot of action from the named players at the 888 cashier today.

For the attention of Purepoker and EagleEyezm

Can you please send all details and proof of this happening to support@888poker.com so they can look into it.
Thanks!

Eagleeyez,

I can only trust that you do not watch the games closely enough... some of the names you suggest I totally agree with - Xkir15 in particular; other names are dubious, and some of the others you suggest like Ando_13, onytheking and .L.plates are simply untrue; I would love to see your evidence? In just the last game I watched onytheking call with AK against a button shove of 2,10 from .L.plates - stack versus stack, so where is the collusion here?

I have contacted support many a time identifying cheats - I will not name names here (you shouldn't either, especially hiding under an unknown alias), but rest assured I hope that I have helped clean up these tables as best I can, the rep can confirm I have PM'd him many times in the past - I have been angry with collusion on these tables for a while, you only have to look at the plateau in my graph to understand my frustrations.

The best ways of identifying it is to go into sharkscope, get a subscription, and check the "most played opponents" section. Tarunchyk is on almost every single table (regardless of if the other names you mention are or not) so he will always be first, other regulars will also be high up (such as Ando_13 and myself) so it is not fullproof of collusion.

May I suggest, if you have concrete screenshots of chip dumping to post them here?

It is not a great look to come on here under a new alias without having posted before... you lack credibility without evidence.

Finally, i am here to help, so if you do have screenshot evidence please PM me and lets get any actual cheats off the site.

Cheers!

The proof is right in front of them!!! All they need to do is watch the tables for a week and they will see all. 888 are the ones with access to hands, all they have to do is spend some time seeing how they play certain hands V differend opponents. I have been reporting to 888 for over a year on and off and nothing gets done about it.
Table id: 46431705
Table id: 46432090
Table id: 46432366
Table id: 46446170

Don't post names here, just report them.

Reporting them is not working. 888 wants the rake. I want people to be aware of this widespread sickness destroying our beautiful game.

Is it really that hard to check all the hands these players play vs themselfs? Is it hard to investigate and close the acount of Magic.Merny when he was reported 100 times by 100 players? is it hard for you ppl at 888 to go on sharkscope and check head to head stats analyze them? must we do it all for you and bring it on a silver plate? Jesus ppl get to work or the whole site will go down! first he playd as merny than magic.merny now .L.plates check out the total he cheated off other players hes also offering rakeback deals advertising his poker coaching website calling himself a REG a PRO has the world gone crazy? how is this all posible on such a big site does anyone from 888 monitor the tables at all?! this player is giving his email telling ppl to contact him than they chat ones they build some trust go on facebook skype start cheating if they are any good, if they are bad he will offer them poker lessons saying look at my stats sharkscope me m8 im so good i will teach you also how to be a winning player

It seems absurd that 888 can't do their own investigation.

If you have sent 888 many emails without any repercussions, how about posting the emails here so you can let the 2p2 investigative crew get to the bottom of it? Obviously there is a down side as it puts the evidence that you have out in a public forum so it will allow the accused to try to change, but if its been going on for as long as you guys say, it can only help at this point.

M8 we run out of options if you would report many times and the ppl laugh in your face on the tables claming to be untouchable under the protection of friends inside the 888 VIP managers so on then posting names is the only way to get something done about it 888 is blind or simply lazy a player like magic.merny was one of the biggest "regs" on all don levels playing few h every day reported so many times nothing was done about it and he was mouthing off everybody at the tables acting GOD like like he is 888 calling ppl donks idiots intimidating ppl hes chat was blocked few times for abuse but only for a week or two than again sam thing, not only that he also calls ppl cheats on tables and reports any players who are not on his team or play against him and his m8s funny part is all are getting blocked yet he continues to play cheat abuse advertising his poker coaching site his rakeback deals so on so on... any ideas? i have one he is well coverd within the 888 houseplayer? insidejob? its ridiculous

They can and they do Mick, many players have been banned in the past, and this is the way to deal with it, not on a public forum.

Clearly this guy got banned himself and/or has a vendetta or something; he's hiding behind a fake 2+2 account that he probably created today and is trying to get personal by naming names on a public poker community forum.

Thanks for the free advertising for my coaching site though Eagleeyez, it is going very well and I am coaching many students across a variety of poker sites including pokerstars, merge and 888.com. If you took the time to watch the videos you might learn a thing or two "Eagleeyez" (if that is your real name!)

Cheers

I think this is the perfect place to deal with it. It gives players an overview on
whats going on and allows them to make up their own mind when in games with these "players"

21.5$ 53.5$ DON turbo SNG its going on ATM go take a look for yourself whats going on on bubble plays with ppl chip dumping doing sitouts showing hands coverbeting softplaying all out there a blind person would see it GL

if you can get to VIP you can get 27% back.. I assume thats equal to 27% rb..
I think thats ok..right now I am platinum and get 18. Still long way to go tho..
I read in chat that some are getting up to 50% rb deals but dont know how they could get that..
Do you consider 18% and 27% bad rewards?
just wondering

The rewards system is long regarded as not being great compared to other sites. 27% is OK in my opinion if you can actually get to VIP - for MTT grinders or sit n go grinders this is impossible though. Fact is however, that other sites will offer 27% back for being far lower than a VIP...

27% of $4 capped rake is worse than gold on stars I think I remember someone saying itt

Sounds about right - so you can see why it is long regarded as a poor rewards system here Mothman!
