Isn't it given by random in 1st hand? Does he really plays only button or just one hand?

That's the reason I don't play anymore @ 888! And a lot more people with me I think. Much better offers from other sites, why bother with such a greedy rake back system. Ipoker has the best rake back for me!

If 888 poker was my business I would change it asap!

I am also incredibly uncomfortable playing at his tables due to what he's said he's done in chat.

Yesterday he sat my tables, told me he had 20k hands on me. I screenshotted it and reported it to support by your contact form. I also have a note on his play stating "Tilted vs me?" which is I believe me observing his difference in play since acquiring these hands.

Today him and another finnish player sat me (Hirudinae), and he told me hes talking to him over skype. He sat directly to my left as well, and I believe I was wedged inbetween these two players. They sat vs me on two tables (not just 1) of the 6 I was playing.

Can you please give me a contact number to at least talk to someone, suspend his account while investigating (so that I can play my tables in peace), and overall just get rid of this guy?

I have no idea what is going through his head. Its 2nl noone there is becoming millionaires.

I have screenshots saved for proof of both incidents.

Thanks,

CTN
Please send this over to support@888poker.com along with the evidence you have and they will investigate for you!

Thanks!

If he is being dealt at the BB first hand he plays it and then play at the BTN next hand and then goes to sit out.
If he is being dealt at the BTN first hand he plays it and then goes to sit out.

So having been dealt 100 hands he will play ~66 times at the BTN at ~33 times at the BB.

It’s past that point now. I have contacted a third party resolver from the UK Gaming commission site. I found it while reading up on you being fined 7.8 million dollars for neglecting responsible gaming.

Its a shame and people wonder why online poker will never flourish again without being in the United States fully and this is a big reason why. You spend so much money to get me to play through advertising, sponsorship and commercials and you clearly don’t have the employees to properly support our issues! How you are able to combat bots and collusion properly when you take weeks and still can’t resolve a simple issue is absurd.

Good luck. The customer service here is disturbingly bad , even if they were a mom and pop business in India. I can’t stress enough how much customer/player neglect is going on here and everyone should be encouraged to contact uk commission to resolve any issues. 888 was already fined 8 million euros by Watchdog for neglecting responsible gaming. Google it.

Hello,
I would like to warn 888poker about an active cheater on their site that goes by the nikname of optimus23prime https://www.sharkscope.com/#Player-S...ers/Optimus23P . This player is a known cheater, he plays heads-up sit&goes across multiple poker sites and he's using a helping software provided by another cheater that is known by the screenname currr14. Currr14 is banned on pokerstars. He and another player going by the screenname Xrab, created a bot, playing heads-up sit&goes. Ofcrourse, they were banned on pokerstars. But they've started distributing the bot to other players in exchange for a share of their profit and infesting all poker sites outside pokerstars. 1 year ago, complaints were made ro partypoker, and after an investigarion they've all got banned. In the list of banned player is also optimus23prime. https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...ostcount=35365
Here you can find a post about optimus23prime on Chico Network
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1.../#post55275848 You should find the corresponing information in the thread itself and also post # 19
I would kindly ask 888 poker to take action. Otherwise, players must be warned that 888 poker is full of bots, specially in heads-up sit&goes limits 100$+

Don't you think it's very strange that he uses the same name to try to cheat on different sites? Does he want his money to be confiscated? And why does one idiot like him mean that 888poker is full of bots?

Indeed he is an idiot. But there is a reason why he created the same nikname on all poker sites. He wanted to show right the way that he is a member of cartel on 888 & party poker, so the regs/bots from other site don't start playing him. This is a common thing to do in husng, unless you are a known bot ofcourse.

Regarding your second question, he's just 1 of many operators that pay a share of profit to currrr14 in exchange for the software and operating on 888 poker

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.

THIS WEEK: August 11, 2019

Argentina’s “germanbarros” Wins Championchips Main Event - Marathon for $13,168.66

The $33 buy-in Championchips Main Event - Marathon attracted 2,118 players who rebought 660 times, which meant a massive $83,340 prize pool (42,200 GTD) that reserved for the top 252 finishers.

After 10 hours and 55 minutes, Argentina’s “germanbarros” defeated “IamYourDille” in heads-up play to win the title and $13,168.66 first-place prize.

Malta’s “GandaCu88” Wins Sunday Mega Deep for $19,350

The $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep attracted 329 players who rebought 134 times, which meant a $100,000 prize pool was reserved for the top 45 finishers. Among those to cash were 888poker Ambassador Ana Marquez (40th - $600), Ian “Simpioni” Simpson (28th - $650), Steven “Kale333” van Zadelhoff (13th - $1,250), “marksteve” (6th - $4,400), and “lucasarouck” (3rd - $11,000).

After 10 hours and 23 minutes, Malta’s “GandaCu88” defeated “p1n1she45” in heads-up play to win the title and $19,350 first-place prize.

888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche Final Tables Whale

The $530 buy-in Rake of Break Whale had a $25,000 target, which it failed to hit as 40 players rebought seven times to create a $23,500 prize pool. That meant all players received their rake back, while the top six took home some prize money.

That included 888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche, who finished in fifth place for $1,762.50. After 5 hours and 22 minutes, it was the UK’s “cheveuxbleu” besting “kiskutya23” in heads-up play to win the tournament for $8,695.

Malta’s “xane7a” Weathers the Monsoon for $2,547

The $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Monsoon had 188 players rebuy 49 times to generate an $11,850 prize pool. The top 27 got a piece of it including “JNSP77” (23rd - $118.50), “Hudder5” (13th - $177.75), “chazcombes” (8th - $355.50), “EyeofSkadi” (6th - $592.50), and “AZUREDWAN” (3rd - $1,392.37).

After nearly seven hours in the tournament, Malta’s “xane7a” defeated the UK’s “usainzeus25” to win the title and $2,547.79 top prize.

Ian “Simpioni” Simpson More than Up for the Sunday Challenge

The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge saw 178 players rebuy 60 times to create a $23,800 prize pool. That was paid out amongst the top 27 players including “BehindSpace” (25th - $238), “Smithstudent” (13th - $357), “MAMOHT_T” (9th - $476), and “CalmRevolver” (4th - $2,082.50).

The final three players all hailed from the UK, and after “Hudder5” busted in third place for $2,796.50 the title came down to Ian “Simpioni” Simpson and “Kroat.” After seven hours and six minutes in the tournament, the former finished as the last player standing to win the title and $5,117 first-place prize.

Sweden’s “WowAceDude” Claims Sunday Deepstack Monsoon Title

The $55 buy-in Sunday Deepstack Monsoon surpassed its $10,000 guarantee by attracting 172 players who rebought 63 times. That created a $11,750 prize pool that was paid out to the top 27 players including “888pruha” (21st - $117.50), Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (13th - $176.25), “MAMOHT_T” (8th - $352.50), and “mne_d0edet1” (4th - $1,028.12).

After “JBHInfinity” bowed out in third place for $1,380.62, the title came down to Sweden’s “WowAceDude” and Russia’s “zaSPARTAK.” Just over nine hours in the tournament, it was the Swede coming out on top to the tune of $2,526.29.

Any plans to have tables resize properly to fit 4k screens. Also tables freeze way to much. Improvements coming?

Maybe you should try a reinstall to see if that helps your table freezing issues.
We are always updating the software but I am not privy to that information but they may decide to alter the table resizing due to players feedback.

There are obvious bots on 10 USD games and anything higher. Bots site advertise their products for 888 and 888 cannot do anything about that. Lost thousands in rake while playing against bots. I was reporting them hundered times and nothing has been done. They dont care cause bots make over 50% of thier traffic on those games.
