I have been playing online poker for over 10 yrs and have come to the conclusion that a veryvery good majority of people feel it is OK to cheat in strictly satellites.
Over the years I have I have heard and seen each of these things multiple times openly said at a live table, or typed in an online chatbox:
- "if we all fold we will all be guaranteed a seat"
-" if you fold your bb to me ill fold my bb to you:"
"ill give you X $$$ if you let me shove allin on your raise and you fold, you are guaranteed a seat help me get mine"
-" hey bro ill timebank all the way down too so the guy on the other table will be forced allin before you so youll get the seat"
-"can you promise to fold if i raise your bb you dont need the chips but i do"
IF i left any out that you heard feel free to add them, ive seen them all and i play a TON of satties because they are real soft all over the place. ?I? have heard all of the above numerous times from pros to pros and fish to fish, guys who dont know each other, every way possible.
I dont want to hear":go report it" thats not what this is about and the site im on doesnt even have a security team lol but anyway my question is WHY do people feel its ok to do this? I have never been in a regular normal field where someone says these things around the bubble and try to "helpo out their neighbor!
How dont people realise that by helping them is outright scamming the other shorty on other tables/> i just dont get it, its specifically in satties like i said, but WHY? what makes it any different? why do people feel like its a TEAM game?

if you're not going to report it and/or the site isn't going to enforce the rules then your only option imo is to play somewhere else. i wouldn't give action to any cardroom online or live if they don't take steps to keep the games fair.

its different bc more than one player can win the same prize, the solution is having additional payouts for finishing 1st 2nd 3rd and so on or however many spots the prize pool allows
