so lol, support are mega tards! i wouldnt even bother talking unless you get a manager etc

lololololololololololololol

what the hell........

me: what is the difference between inactive and empty?
LiamR: inactive means no one is playing
LiamR: empty means no one is playing

got the reply from VIP Manager...

''Hey
Received confirmation from the network:
We have looked in to this case and the appropriate action has been taken. Please thank the player for bringing this to our attention.
I have also sent a message to the support team confirming the rules that apply to table hogging.''

All good I guess

Surely on Ipoker all you need is a second/third laptop and have 4 tables open on each skin/account? Then you can sit at 8-12 tables without ever getting warned? Some of the high stakes PLO guys do this I'm sure!

Just reported another ****.

Double posting, but relevant.

Just had this chat with the Live Support @ Boyle.

Hi and welcome to Boylepoker. A member of the poker team will be with you shortly, or you can have a look at our FAQ’s

AdminGreg: Welcome to Poker Support, how can I help you?

THDE: Hello again. 'HijooDePutaa' and 'MilfHunter2' are both abusing the HU table limit rule. They do this every day and nothing seems to be being done.

AdminGreg: I'm sorry to see it however I will pass it onto the relevant department immediately and I will ask if this can be resolved for a long term.

AdminGreg: Thank you for highlighting this issue to me.

THDE: Yeah, I've got something else.

THDE: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/58...taken-1170855/

THDE: Forward this onto the relevant department also, there is a lot of unrest amongst honest players.

THDE: This is an issue that needs fixing and I'm going to keep reporting these cheaters daily until they listen. I hope you don't mind.

AdminGreg: No, I dont mind it at all. Thank you for your cooperation and determination. I am looking on the link that you sent me and I will also pass it further to make others aware of it.

THDE: Thanks a lot Greg.

AdminGreg: You're welcome. Anything else I can help you with?

AdminGreg: I must say as well that it is very good idea of poker community as well to highlight those who are in breach of network policy. Fair play.

THDE: Not right now, but I'll pass on any other cheaters I come across. Those two are the main offenders at the small stakes games at least. Cheers.

AdminGreg: Thank you for your time. Have a good day than.

If we continue to report these scumbags then we might be able to pressure iPoker into closing the loophole. Keep at it.

''dedmag0r'' with 12 empty tables at NL100 and NL200 atm. I've reported him for like 10 times already, because he does this everytime he's playing, but obviously no action has been taken against him from iPoker yet...

Bots and now this. What does ipoker care about?

Just reported guy named "JustAdriano7". He was at 9 nl100 tables.

Then I joined his every table:

JustAdriano7: go
POKERPOLICE AKA ME: i reported u
POKERPOLICE AKA ME: table limit is 4 u know?
POKERPOLICE AKA ME: close all but 4 and i leave
JustAdriano7: no i dont know
POKERPOLICE AKA ME: now u know
JustAdriano7: ok leave
JustAdriano7: fast
JustAdriano7: or i will report you
POKERPOLICE AKA ME: close all but 4 and i leave
JustAdriano7: nope
JustAdriano7: report me
JustAdriano7: i dont care
suklaajuna73: i already did, with screenshot
JustAdriano7: ok
JustAdriano7: i do a screenshot
JustAdriano7: to you too
JustAdriano7: so...
POKERPOLICE AKA ME: im not doing anything wrong
POKERPOLICE AKA ME: lets play 9 tables
POKERPOLICE AKA ME: dont block me

then he left....

The scumbags I reported are only sitting at 4 tables these days so it appears as though something was done.

Is it justified to block those scumbags tables? If I have nothing better to do i usually do that.

Just keep reporting them, it seems like the network is finally starting to make some progress with this issue.

i enjoy doing this

imo they should just make getting more tables by tableBLOCKING impossible (e.g. boot sitout player after 2 minutes)

if someone ends up with more empty tables because he was looking for a match and everyone refuses to play him , its kinda fair imo - like a weaker form of KOTH: pure bumhunters still can have their 4 tables, but the more competitive player gets rewarded by having more tables to wait for fish if no one else is playing him. rewarding action should be interest of the site too.

i dont feel like closing every table just because someone doesn't want to play once again or runs after 10 hands.

just my opinion though.

edit: i think on partypoker it's perfect with the way you are getting booted when you sitout.

then people would just get their buddies to sit with them on many tables then leave (happens already).

the lobby is always gonna be ****ed whenever there is an unlimited amount of tables and no restriction programmed into the software to prevent people sitting on so many.

I can't judge the given situation with Adriano and I think he indeed is a scumbag, but that's a different story.
But what I can say is that I tried to play you in the past several times (if the one from your post is your screenname) and you seem to be tableselecting pretty strictly on Ipoker. If someones sits you and you leave and he ends up with a 5th table then you expect him to close it again and support your tableselection by this? If someones just sits your table and insta sitouts to force you to leave, thats a different story obv. But in the first case YOU are actually the cause of someone else having one more table!

If you want to avoid this, play him ffs instead of calling yourself pokerpolice in a forum after constantly sitting out after one or two hands. That isn't really improving the games either.

If I search for a match I usually sit a ton of regs and most of them just quit. It's just ridicoulus that you have to browse ALL tables all the time to make sure that you don't have more than 4 empty ones at once. As long as it isn't implented that the other empty ones close automatically like stars does it, you should blame Ipoker and yourself and noone else.

Yeah that sucks obv and I didn't think about it. But I think that this thread goes into the wrong direction because among the scumbags, competitive players are punished as well.

So the thread should be more like "How do we convince Ipoker to implement a fair solution into the software" and not be a witch hunt in which every bumhunter denounces everyone who took a table from them by THEM running away.
That's just absurd imo and makes me kinda angry...

Yea, that's mine. Several times? What's your nick? I can't remember anyone trying to play me several times, i might have refused to play for some reasons surely.

Well the table limit is 4, so i expect everyone to keep in that limit. No matter if you are purely bumhunting or reghunter. It's also different if you are at 5 tables or 10+ tables. Usually those 10+ table guys are bumhunters.

why not just play them, seems like an easier solution?

2% chance those guys play more than 5 hands.

Yeah lol

I was thinking the same thing. I think this weaker form of KOTH is kind of cool actually. Ideally you shouldn't be able to open more than one table at any stake like at stars, and then you should be allowed to get say 1 extra table if your opponent quits you.

I agree with this. Wouldn't it be cool that once you got booted you had to wait 10min to sit again?

Have a think about what you just said in full context.
