Title: Last night's Gutshot PNL
Post by: AllInKev on April 21, 2007, 01:30:47 PM
Im sorry, but please tell me this wasn't just me, but the end of the MTT was the biggest FIX in the world EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone else see it?! Just watched the replay now from last night and he lays down KK 3 handed, Q7 on a AQ7 board, A9 on a 3 9 3 flop when very short stacked and then call-folded the rest of there chips until he was down till 1600 with blinds at 200/400 where he went all in with 49 sooted and ran into Aces.

Please tell me it wasn't just me who thought it was a fix!

TY

Kev

Why would they fix it?

Some players are, well, not so hot, that does not mean the Game was bent.

Well it just seemed to me there was a whole lot of collusion. Barry and Nic were in shock and were just in silence for long spells. Im not sure if you saw it tikay, and it might seem a little far-fetched, but this happened all within about 3 minutes and it was all over sooooo quick it was untrue.

I hope im wrong ( as im no conspiracy theorist ) but i have never seen anything like that in the 2/3 years i have been attempting to play this great game!

No, I never saw it, buit nothing surprises me in poker, we can & do see the strangest plays.

Given how much they were playing for, does "collusion" (a really common problem in Poker) really make sense in this case?

i have my own theory on this but would like to know more details from allinkev ie what the tourni was a mtt or stt how many were left etc


Title: Re: Last night's Gutshot PNL
Post by: AllInKev on April 21, 2007, 02:21:55 PM
Well i saw the action with just 4 left! Was an MTT jobbie and it was something to do with the WSOP and progressing to the next stage! Like i say, i only caught the end, so im not sure of whats what. Not a regular watcher so wouldn't know the ins and outs of it all tbh mate.

Blinds at 200/400 ... UTG raises to 2400 with KK. Folded to BB who pushes for 6k total and the KK folds. Then a hand or 2 later, there's a raise UTG ( by the bloke who pushed for 6k! ) with K5o and the KK man calls with Q7. Flop comes A Q 7 ... we see a bet, a raise and and all in and the Q7 folds too damn quickly for my liking to the same player. The A9 hand happens a little later and then he just donks off the 4/5k he has left be calling the flop bets and folded to a continuation bet on the turn.

IMO it totally stunk!

my own thoughts on this and i stress they are only my own thoughts is that they were 2 mates putting there chips together so theres a better chance of one of them getting a ticket.

this is a big problem on gutshot sight and one of the reasons i dont play it anymore. i have seen with my own eyes upto 6/7 players all sitting next to each other in there internet room at the club playing as a team relaying hands and information to each other.

this may or may not be the case here but certainly by the way you've put it somethings not right!


Title: Re: Last night's Gutshot PNL

TY for confirming my thoughts mate. I'm certainly going to stay away after seeing that, that is for sure!

In my experience, suspected collusion online is usually just bad play, folk not paying attention.

Collusion goes on everywhere, but it's not usually this easy to spot unfortunately

i saw with my own eyes they were on the same table.

I have spent many an hour on the Internet Terminals in the Gutshot, sometimes with folks like Thewy or Chili sat next to me, on another terminal, in the same comp. That does not infer any wrongdoing though! That is Tighty's point.

Kev can & will make his own mind up!

that wasn't my suggestion tony, i was just portraying my experience. and on more than one occassion i may add.

no odds to me, i choose not to play on gutshot, my choice and as you say kev can and will maake up his own mind.

kev asked for reasons for the obvious softplay/collusion that he saw i just offered my thoughts on it whether im right or wrong doesnt matter, they were my thoughts and i thought id share them on a discussion board.

in no way was i looking to influence kev as its no odds to me whether he plays on gutshot or not.

No problem Kev, it's just a debate, which I, as is often the case, was trying to give "balance" to. If the Gutshot Forum Boys get hold of this thread, & we have been less than fair, they'll slap me good & proper. If someone goes on Gutshot or Hendon Mob & makes similar allegations about blonde players, I'd like to think someone there would do what I did - give it "balance". I'd be very hurt if they did not.

Thx Tony, we are aware of it over on the Gutshot forum

As  for inthebelly, there s not collusion in the internet room and to make such a comment is ludicrous.  Also making a statement thats why you don't play the site....it is on the microgaming network and that has some 10,000 online players logged on at any one time......hardly the gutshot internet room all playing on there.  If there is any collusion or discussion of hands in the room then people are clearly told about thee rules, In should know i play there every night.

good for you juloo but i can assure u my comments are not ludicrous and im not a liar.

what i saw happened on numerous occassions but as i have not been to gutshots for nearly a year your comments seem to suggest the problem has been addressed and solved and that it doesnt excist anymore.

this is good and  i hope continues. well done gutshot  :)up

I have seen this type play on 4 other poker sites so to intimate its a Gutshot only problem is frankly absurd. Practically every poker club in London has modelled itself on Gutshot, including the introduction of Internet Cafe terminals, and by the very nature of Internet Cafes collusion is very easy to achieve while almost impossible to police.

Couple this with IRC chat programs (msn etc) and VOIP and collusion while playing online poker is easier then folding aces in the first hand of the WSOP main event with 3 all ins before you.

I accept everyone has an opinion but to single one cardroom out for it is just Gutshot bashing.

I'd love to know what sites you play on now because I can guarantee you there is collusion there as well.

IMHO.

I've seen matey chat on final tables on Laddies between people on Laddies, and then watched one of them with a big chip lead fold on the big blind to the other party who's all in for a trivial amount of extra chips.

Collusion or rank ignorance, who knows? But it will be everywhere.

hows that saying its a gutshot ONLY problem???????????????????????????????

im bored with this thread. only posted my experiences and got ridiculed for it.

looks like im not the only one whose experienced or seen it if you read the threads on the mob site and gutshots own site!

frankly i dont really care.

Prehaps it was the way you said, I wasn't trying to ridicule anyone, but it looked rather singular. "this is a big problem on gutshot sight and one of the reasons i dont play it anymore"

Its a huge problem on ALL online sites and it not easy to deal with.

But like you say, who cares?
